The function of the body is to protect the safety of the occupants of the car, but did you know that the handling of the vehicle is also closely related to the body?
As one of the core components of automobile products, the body is mainly composed of windows, doors, cockpit, passenger compartment, engine compartment and luggage compartment. Generally speaking, the main function of the car body is to protect the safety of the occupants in the car, but in addition to safety, the structure of the car body also directly affects the driving experience of the car. The two models that use high-strength steel in a large area have different body structures, and the driving experience they bring will be completely different.
In order to enable the next-generation MAZDA3 Angkesaila to achieve a higher level of “human-horse integration” – “EFFORTLESS JOYFUL DRIVING pressure-free and enjoyable driving”, Mazda engineers organically coordinated the performance of seats, body, suspension, and tires, and carried out a new vehicle platform. develop. Among them, the brand-new “SKYACTIV-BODY High Rigidity Body” adopts a multi-directional continuous closed-loop body structure and ultra-high-strength steel, which not only greatly improves the safety of the vehicle, but also further improves the handling performance of the vehicle.
30% superior to the same level of ultra-high-strength steel, the strength to create a strong body
Safety performance has always been one of the core advantages of SKYACTIV-BODY. On the new “SKYACTIV-BODY High Rigidity Body”, engineers have raised the safety performance to a new level.
In terms of the utilization rate of high-strength steel, the utilization rate of 980-1800 MPa (Mpa) steel is as high as 30%, and the utilization rate of steel above 590 MPa is also 54%, which means that more than half of the entire body is made of high-strength steel. The composition is better than that of models of the same level and price; the body also uses the cold-formed parts of 1,310 MPa-level high-tensile steel developed by Mazda for the first time in the world. -BODY “Chuangchi Blue Sky High Rigid Body” uses ultra-high-strength steel with a rigidity of up to 1,800 MPa, which greatly increases the rigidity of the body and improves the collision safety performance of the vehicle.
Surpassing the safety performance of the same level, the next-generation MAZDA3 Angkesaila won the “Top Safety Pick” (TSP) rating in the 2019 crash test of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and even won the European New Car Safety Evaluation It received a five-star safety rating in the 2019 crash test of the Association (E-NCAP), which fully demonstrates the superior safety strength of Mazda’s new generation of products.
Multi-directional ring structure further enhances driving experience
Of course, the role of the body is not only to improve safety, the handling of the vehicle is also inseparable from the body structure.
In the new generation of “SKYACTIV VEHICLE ARCHITECTURE” compact front-wheel-drive platform, the body, suspension, seats, and tires form an organic whole, and achieve more stability by restoring the dynamic balance function of the human body when walking , Agile handling experience.
Specifically, the role of the body is to optimize the diagonal stiffness of the body, so that the body can cooperate with the tires to achieve the best grip in turn, thereby improving the tracking performance of the vehicle. This requires high-strength body rigidity, because when the body rigidity is low, the vehicle may have more roll during driving, the grip of the tires will be weakened, and the force transmitted by the road surface may also be absorbed by the body , the driver cannot accurately perceive the road conditions.
The new “SKYACTIV-BODY high-rigidity body” carried by the next-generation MAZDA3 Angkesaila has been optimized to solve this problem. In order to realize the “transmission of force without delay”, that is, to transmit the force transmitted from the road without delay, and accurately feed back the road information to the driver, so as to achieve a clear “road feeling”; “Deformation” is controlled within a reasonable range, reducing the occurrence of “rolling”, thereby improving tire grip and improving vehicle tracking.
The role of the body is not limited to safety performance. A well-designed body can not only improve the safety of the vehicle, but also cooperate with other parts of the vehicle to achieve outstanding tracking performance, thereby achieving a better control experience. Welcome consumers from all over the country to visit Changan Mazda’s offline stores, experience the first model of the new generation of product clusters – the next-generation MAZDA 3 Angkesaila brings you a higher level of “human and horse integration” – “EFFORTLESS JOYFUL DRIVING stress-free and pleasant driving”.
