Abstract

<p>In the process of developing the All-New Mazda3, we analyzed human behavioral principle to further enhance Jinba-Ittai driving pleasure (the sense that a driver and a vehicle become one just as the horse becomes a natural extension of the rider) and focused on human ability to maintain balance while walking in a normal way. We considered being able to maintain body balance while driving to be the way a vehicle was supposed to be if we were to provide a sense of oneness between the driver and the vehicle. With an eye toward replicating the body balance in walking, we fundamentally reviewed functions of tire, suspension, car body and seat, and eventually developed a new technology for vehicle structure called Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture. As a result, the All-New Mazda3 has achieved a driving dynamics which allows a driver to handle the vehicle without having a feeling of discomfort and also drive long hours without a feeling of fatigue, thereby leading to enhanced Jinba-Ittai driving performance and quality.</p>
