Learn about Mazda Radar Cruise Control

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) can be found in several Mazda models; this technology uses millimeter wave radar to judge the relative speed and distance to the car ahead and automatically controls vehicle speeds. The MRCC works within a set speed range and is able to automatically adjust and maintain a safe following distance from the car in front, thus relieving some of the burden of the driver on long drives and on highways. This system also includes a Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) that visually displays the following distance to help the driver maintain awareness of important safety consideration.

Mazda CX-3 Proving to be a Popular Choice

Mazda CX-3 Proving to be a Popular Choice

Mazda has revealed that there has been a large number of interested buyers for the all-new Mazda CX-3 compact SUV; in fact, Mazda Australia’s local Marketing Director revealed that the level of buyer interest in the new Mazda CX-3 is about five times higher than the revamped Mazda2. “We’ve got 20,000 hand-raisers for the car, people that are saying ‘keep me informed about it’ and we have over 500 who want us to speak to them when it goes on sale.” The new Mazda CX-3 model is on track to potentially steal the spotlight from its sibling, the Mazda CX-5 – which is known as one of the world’s bestselling SUVs last year. “I don’t see it impacting sales of CX-5 very much. The research on CX-3 showed that the people who buy CX-5 are in that time of their life where they’ve got young kids or a pram in the back and baby seat. CX-3 really is a proper size down on CX-5, so there will be minimal impact on volume for CX-5,” he said. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Mazda Tackles 3D Advertisements

Mazda has become the first auto manufacturer to launch 3D advertisements using parallax effects. The 3D advertising concept was announced by Cxense last year, where an optical illusion creates an image that stands out from a web page. These 3D advertisements use standard web technology and work on any browser to grab the attention of the browser. Mazda revealed that this new strategy skips the need for complex video solutions or sound, the 3D ads can be used on nearly any website to boost an ad’s efficiency. “The 3D ads running on the Cxense ad server is one of the coolest and most innovative ad solutions I have seen in a long while,” says Tomas Tomasi, Digital Director, Mindshare Norway.

Mazda Unveils the Gran Turismo LM55 Vision Concept

This past holiday season, Mazda unleashed its jaw-dropping Vision concept: the LM55 Vision Concept. The name honors Mazda’s Le Mans 1991 champion 787B, which wore the number 55. Mazda used the winning model as the main influence to the LM55’s styling while also blending in the famous KODO design language that Mazda is so passionate about. A Mazda spokesperson said: “The Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo barely tips the scales with lightweight, carbon fiber components, including a chassis covered in striking white paint. Pair this with advanced drivetrain technology that offers the epitome of power, efficiency and durability and the result is an exceptional power to weight ratio exceeding that of most cars in its class.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
