The Mazda brand, known as "Toei BMW" by many people, is mainly because the brand models have better control and are deeply loved by consumers. To say that the Mazda brand, the most excellent handling model, of course, is the MX-5, the front and rear drive layout, as well as the ultra-short wheelbase of 2310mm, coupled with the Mazda chassis tuning heritage, so that the vehicle has the same price point is difficult to surpass the handling performance.
Recently, we learned from relevant sources that the 2022 Mazda MX-5 is about to be launched. It is reported that the appearance of the new car is basically consistent with the current model, and the adjustment part is concentrated on the chassis. The rearranged chassis of the vehicle is expected to improve the handling of the new MX-5 by a certain extent.
The appearance of the new car has not been adjusted, and the interior part has added blue trim to the air conditioner outlet, which enhances a touch of refinement.
In addition, the powertrain of the new car has not been adjusted, and it is only equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 184Ps and a peak torque of 205 N·m.
Chassis as the focus of the upgrade object, Mazda also upgraded the technology named KPC (full name KINEMATIC POSTURE CONTROL), the technology can be adjusted by adjusting the suspension of the vehicle, so that the vehicle has a better suitable body posture, improve the stability of the vehicle.
The actual performance is that the technology can adjust the body down appropriately when the vehicle decelerates, and also applies a small amount of braking force to the inner wheels. Doing so not only increases the stability of the body, but also creates a greater difference in the speed of the inner and outer wheels, reduces the turning radius of the vehicle, and improves the driving experience of the vehicle in the corners.
At present, the pre-sale price of the 2022 MX-5 is in the range of 2.6235 million yen to 3.9226 million yen (equivalent to 146.3-21.88 million yuan).
Xiaobian believes that this price has basically no reference value for the domestic market, because the price of the Previously introduced Mazda MX-5 is more than 300,000 yuan. At the same time, whether the new car can enter the domestic market again is still unknown, after all, Mazda MX-5 has been withdrawing from the domestic market for a long time.
