Mazda2 is a car that Mazda's engineers were able to create. It was designed and built from the ground up to be a pure Mazda offering the kind of driving experience, which could only come from the company that developed the MX-5 timeless two-seat roadster, and he brings a combination of a sporty design and dynamic performance of the class of subcompacts, which just does not exist at present.
 
2011 Mazda 2 Hatchback
Originally launched in 2007, became the new Mazda2 is the first time in Europe, Japan and Australia. Its launch has created a unique offering in the B-segment car (subcompact), notably through its distinguished design and excellent traction.

To date, the number of business world total reached about 370,000 units in the three years since it was introduced, and the Mazda2 is now recognized as one of the global models, which symbolizes the essence of Mazda.

In developing the new Mazda2, Mazda took a holistic view of global trends and subcompact cars carefully worked to identify the values ​​that could be very beneficial in a world built B-Car. As a result, the new Mazda2 adds brand values, such as the ability to drive exciting Mazda design only appeal to the segment without sacrificing the basic requirements for subcompact vehicles: superior fuel economy, performance and passenger collision wide. Indeed, while other manufacturers have increased the size of small cars, Mazda's first mission was to analyze and define the optimal size of a compact car. This resulted in a very efficient size for the new Mazda2, without sacrificing the attractive features that consumers want.

A design that attracts customers worldwide.

Dynamic Performance.

With the Mazda2, Mazda has developed sportsmanship, which is characterized by the Mazda design DNA to a bold expression of movement and versatility. The basic format of the new Mazda2 is characterized by a combination of dynamic performance, sportsmanship, and simplicity that leaves a strong visual impression. While competitors focus on compact cars to produce square shape of the body to identify priorities, Mazda has reduced the shock body, and cut corners as much as possible as a way to provide a compact and sporty, to convey a sense of stability and confidence-inspiring. Carefully lays the groundwork for the form and then give the nature of the energy lines of a suitable B-car, Mazda has created a design that is very unique, and timeless.

Concentrated.

Mazda continues in a concentrated form and rigorous body as a virtue in itself, not only to reduce the size of the body of the car. This creative background has been beneficial in efforts to obtain the maximum dynamic performance of the new Mazda2 is compact. In other words, has the essence of Mazda Mazda2 spirit of compactness, dynamic sports performance -. "Zoom-Zoom concentrated"
 
2011 Mazda 2 Hatchback
Theme of the exterior design, "coordinated movement."

In search of a solid design and a richly expressive exterior, Mazda has created an exterior design theme of "coordinated movement." In line with this, the design team combines the visual movements created by the silhouette lines of the car body, and how the patterns of light incident on the body to create dynamic expressions, multifaceted generally not in the B-car. These expressions give off a powerful energy that makes the new Mazda2 seem to move while standing still. The main exterior design elements include: a sporty wedge shape, which expresses a strong sense of forward movement, a very sculpted in which the body is thrown forward and back within the pillars, and lines distinctiveness which extends from the front fender arches on the shoulders of the body.

Dynamic Performance Competitors can not find the segment.

Mazda focused on delivering the driver-oriented steering and driving dynamics that inspires confidence for the Zoom-Zoom driving experience that is unique in this segment. At the same time, developments in Mazda to maintain focus on their core competencies of high cost-effectiveness of daily driving situations, always a long weekend. In particular, the Mazda has worked to make the new Mazda2 cheaper in terms of fuel costs, fuel economy and improves stamina.

A drive train for athletic performance with great fuel economy>

Driving experience Zoom-Zoom Mazda endeavors has two important properties: 1) a sense of linear acceleration and deceleration, which reacts strongly on how far the accelerator is pressed, allowing the operator to control the speed of the vehicle as desired, and 2) a sense of liveliness in direct response to the accelerator pedal for quick off-the-line acceleration and passing. The development team spent a sense of performance reflects an improvement in both of these key properties, with no negative impact on the economy as a top fuel Mazda2 subcompact car.

Handling and stable handling.

2012 Mazda Mazda5

2012 Mazda Mazda5

There's a reason you see the truck as the vehicle of choice for parents. You see, it is the perfect vehicle for schlepping around children and all that comes with them. No other vehicle can match the large minivan interior space, three rows of seats, sliding rear doors and a minimum height. However, as many as a mini-van may be exaggerated for families with only one or two small. Here comes the Mazda May 2012

Completely redesigned for 2012, the latest Mazda 5 is an evolution of its predecessor. Stand a little more powerful, more comfortable seats and swoopier style. Basically, however, 5 is a minivan for people with modest transportation needs of the family. With two seats in each of its three lines with a capacity of only six seats compared with the seven or eight passengers of a minibus large (which is an oxymoron). But if the times to carry several passengers rare, the design of the Mazda 5 is large (the size is the key word here) practical advantage over compact crossover SUV.

There is another advantage of the Mazda 5 has almost finished its family of mobile competitors - it's fun to drive. Like the Mazda 3, goes behind the corners of the control and posture. Some car manufacturers are able to boast that their state or off-road trucks, "treated like a machine", but the Mazda 5 is actually doing. In fact, it drives like a car really good. Because of its smaller size, it is also much easier to move tight spaces, and you do not have to think twice before squeezing into compact parking spaces.

However, the Mazda 5 2012 is definitely not for everyone. Some people really need spacious, and there is something to be said for the V6 power in hilly terrain or with a full load of people on board. Mazda 5 is not available with some features common to regular mini-bus, such as power sliding doors, umbrellas or factory-installed navigation systems and entertainment. However, the all-new 2012 Ford C-Max - also a mini MPV built on a platform shared with the Mazda 5 a variety of electronic functions. However, the Mazda 5 has everything you need and enough passenger and cargo space for most young families. Primarily the design of a hybrid between a van and a wagon, the Mazda 5 is a good alternative and deserves a look at these lean economic times.

Body styles, trim levels and options


May 2012 The Mazda is a line of three, six-passenger compact SUV available in three trim levels: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. The base Sport comes standard with alloy wheels, 16 inches, full power accessories, keyless entry, cruise control, automatic air conditioning (with rear outlets and fan controls), height adjustable driver seat, a tilt steering wheel and telescope and a sound system with six speakers and CD player and auxiliary input jack.

5 Touring adds 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, rear spoiler, leather-wrapped steering wheel, trip computer and Bluetooth. For the Touring Package, Custom Audio & moonroof adds sunroof, satellite radio and six CDs. This package is standard on Gran Turismo 5, which also receives an automatic xenon headlights, heated mirrors, automatic wipers, driver's lumbar adjustment, heated front seats and leather upholstery.

There are a number of dealer-installed extras which will be available later this model year, including the ignition remotely interface iPod, a portable Garmin navigation system and DVD entertainment system.

Propulsion and Performance


Every Mazda 5 2012 is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 157 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the sport, while a five-speed automatic transmission is optional on Sport and standard on everything else. In performance testing, Grand Touring five went from zero to 60 km / h in 9.5 seconds - slower than the typical minivan, and many compact SUVs. With either transmission, fuel economy is estimated at 21 mpg city/28 highway.

Security

Every Mazda 5 features standard stability and traction control, antilock four-wheel disc brakes with brake assist, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. In brake tests, 5 came to a stop from 60 mph in 130 feet - a few meters above the average.

Interior Design and Special Features

While 5 is obviously less than the traditional minivan, yet it packs a lot of versatility within. Captain comfortable second row sliding and reclining chairs, and the passenger side seat has a center table and clever pop-up storage space that can be mounted between the seats (and later stored, creating a channel on the same level foot in the third row). The third row is big enough for children and is easier to get that all the third-row crossover, we can think of. At the same time the sliding rear doors for easy access, especially in parking lots.

Up front, the layout of the dashboard 5 again remained essentially the same general appearance and is thinner now. All controls are easy to reach and use, and using the 5 senses much like a regular car behind the wheel. The front seats offer comfort respectable, more people may wish to travel back over the seat.

Driving Impressions

To add some value, but do not want to give up the car's agility and maneuverability in urban areas, the Mazda 5 2012 is an excellent choice. Acceleration is slightly Pokey (especially in difficult terrain), but the handling is excellent 5. On winding roads, the five rewards the driver with precise steering and controlling the movements of the body. Passengers traveling with an amateur driver can also enjoy a revised suspension that can prevent them from slipping and swaying in their seats. The Test Track , 5 almost equaled the number of handling the small Mazda 2. In short, the 5 is fun to drive, something we can not say that any regular minivan.

2011 Mazda 6



For the facelift, Mazda petrol engine replaces the original model with the condition medium MZR 2.0-liter gasoline fuels more efficiently, more alive and faster. High speed direct injection gasoline to produce maximum power 114 kW/155 hp at 6200 rpm and torque of 193 Nm at 4500 rpm. Inject gasoline into a fine mist spray directly into the cylinder, and when it evaporates decreases combustion temperature. This is very effective in suppression of strokes - usually the problem with gasoline direct injection - high compression ratio can be used, which gives the power, acceleration and high fuel economy is good.

Customers can choose between manual transmission and Mazda's six-speed right - with more third, fourth and sixth gear ratio for fuel efficiency at higher speeds - or a new gearbox Activematic five-speed automatic with manual shift mode. Five-speed automatic transmission features a new optimized torque converter, which offers an optimal combination of acceleration and fuel economy. This powertrain provides a comfortable and sporty way while using only 7.6 liters per 100 km (combined) in the sedan and hatchback.



Despite producing 6 kW/8 PS and 9 Nm more torque than the naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre it replaces, the new DISI powertrain with the manual transmission uses just 6.9 litres fuel per 100 km. And its new single-nano technology catalyst is positioned immediately downstream of the exhaust manifold to ensure quick catalyst activation and emission reduction at cold start. With the DISI engine, the sedan and hatchback each produce 4.2 percent less CO 2 than the outgoing 2-litre petrol, and meet Euro Stage V emissions standards.

All three derivatives of Mazda’s powerful and sporty MZR-CD 2.2 turbo-diesel engine are quieter-running at cold start with newly revised fuel-injection timing, revised EGR control and glow plugs to assist combustion. For the High and Mid-Power versions, engineers reduced the outlet diameter of the turbocharger’s turbine impeller from 41.5 mm to 36 mm, which reduces turbine inertia by 24 percent and increases torque. As a result, the High-Power version provides substantially improved sixth-gear acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h. The Mid-Power version now has 10 Nm more torque where it is most needed — in the 1,400-1,600 rpm range — for an exciting acceleration feel.

The Mazda 6 facelift Standard-Power diesel offers a great combination of lively power and low fuel consumption. To achieve this, torque was increased by reducing the outlet diameter of the turbocharger’s turbine impeller even further (from 41.5 mm to 32 mm), thereby reducing turbine inertia by approximately 51%, and by reducing the outer diameter of the compressor impeller itself from 57 mm to 47 mm, thereby increasing torque by 30 Nm in the 1,400 rpm to 2,400 rpm range.



This delivers high torque at low- and mid-range engine speeds, and great engine response. The Standard- Power version produces 95 kW/129 PS of maximum output at 3,500 rpm, and 340 Nm of maximum torque, while using only 5.2 litres of fuel per 100 km. The Standard-power derivative is not only efficient and frugal, but cleaner as well. It produces low amounts of CO 2 by using an optimised shape for the cavity in the crown of each piston. This makes the combustion chamber more efficient at using drawn-in air and reduces CO 2 by about 1.2 percent versus the original crown shape. Engineers also raised this version’s transmission gear ratios which, when combined with this engine’s quick response, delivers better acceleration feel while producing only 138 g/km of CO 2 (sedan/ hatchback).

At the top of the range, the Mazda 6 facelift offers an updated Sports Grade model – for all body styles. Special features unique to the Sports Grade include a larger brand symbol in the front grille with body coloured wing-shaped mouldings extending side ways, a new headlamp design that holds the newswivel – type adaptive front lighting system, wing-shaped position lamps, silver coating for the facelift’s new fog lamp bezels, rear combination lamps have clear inner lenses and LEDs. On the inside, customers get a bright, silver-hairline, full-gloss finish on all decoration panels and blackout meters with metallic-look rings for sportiness and refinement. A special leather upholstery in either black or brown leather, or black half leather, is available. The fabric portions on the half-leather seats have a vertical pattern that creates a neat, sporty look.

2011 Mazda 6 Wagon



Like its predecessors, the new Mazda 6 Wagon major cosmetic surgery and functional. It has a large number of small storage compartments and a large and flexible floor console between the front seats. To this add a new storage compartment near the driver's seat. This ashtray has been replaced with a box big enough for small objects such as cards and keyless entry and starting system controller. In addition, holders of sunglasses with her hair placed just behind the rearview mirror. function Karakuri rear seat is still on the board that automatically folds down 60/40 rear seat by pulling the tab at the beginning of the adjustment panel (hatchback and wagon), and no Karakuri tonneau cover that automatically moves up and down with the back of the truck.

This display includes the opening of the network, while isolating it from the cabin and boot area and help prevent cold air / hot to get into the cab during loading and unloading baggage. Mazda 6 is one of the largest boot space (1066 mm for the car) and one floor of the largest boot in its class (1146 mm). boot volume with all seats are between 510 liters (sedan) and 519 liters (wagon / sedan), large enough for luggage for five adults. And the Mazda 6 wagon and hatchback can carry even more, if necessary. With the rear seats, strollers and hatchback have a long load floor in 1926 and 1879, respectively, mm, and expenses in 1702 and 1751 liter volume (from floor to ceiling).





The new, highly sculptured front bumper gives the Mazda 6 facelift a strong athletic look. In addition to the horseshoe-shape front tyre deflectors, new plate-type deflectors are added, the front lip spoiler is extended, and the rear tyre deflectors enlarged. Together, these changes limit turbulence in airflow around the wheels and body sides, and contribute to improved aerodynamics. The drag coefficients of 0.27 for the sedan and hatchback and 0.28 for the wagon are both among the lowest in the CD-segment.

All three derivatives of Mazda’s powerful and sporty MZR-CD 2.2 turbo-diesel engine are quieter-running at cold start with newly revised fuel-injection timing, revised EGR control and glow plugs to assist combustion. For the High and Mid-Power versions, engineers reduced the outlet diameter of the turbocharger’s turbine impeller from 41.5 mm to 36 mm, which reduces turbine inertia by 24 percent and increases torque.
