New 2013 Mazda CX 5 Conventional Engine Maximization

When the other car manufacturers continue to develop hybrid technology, Mazda retains combustion engine as its flagship. Because carmaker Hiroshima, Japan is more interested in the improvement of a conventional combustion engine. The application of direct injection, dual variable valve, exhaust design is to control the heat engine piston to its patented design, to attempt to get the best out of the engine capacity of 1997 cc. Not only that, the transfer engine power to the wheels was a concern. Although adopting the 6-speed automatic transmission, but the Mazda has pinned lock on each tooth. As a result the optimal energy transfer but driving smoothness is maintained.

It is enough to be felt when the condition of stop and go in the route within the city. Smooth gearshift feels like a CVT transmission type. But while on the road uphill on the route out of town, do not feel the symptoms of excessive slippage. This is indicated by a constant low engine speed with the vehicle that did not feel restrained despite the gearshift. The more fun, the Mazda transmission is also equipped with a manual mode. This role is most beneficial when the road is uphill or downhill. The driver can play the position like a gear manual transmission so the engine can be maintained or acquire securities engine brake in order to lay the fuel supply to the engine. This indication can be directly observed the driver via the on-board computer on the dashboard.

Besides the engine and transmission, aerodynamics sector also received more attention. Despite its large grille, but the CX-5 capable of flowing air very well. This can be detected from the cover under the car that is made flat as possible. Even the exhaust design was contrived so as not to impede the flow of air. Although the effect is less because we feel at highway speeds limited to 100 km / h. All of this technology is able to provide fuel consumption figure of 8.24 km / l in the route within the city. With an average speed of only 14.34 km / h. Classified as economical given the weight up to 1.5 tonnes and has a 2,000 cc engine. In the route out of town at speeds of only 34.94 km / h, the CX-5 is able to record the number 12.47 km / l - but in the on-board computer recorded the 7.4 l/100 km. With these data indicate going up 7.7% difference between the data on the computer cars with reality.

 MAZDA CX-5 TOURING:

 Machinery / 4 inline/1.997 cc capacity
 Maximum power 155 rpm dk/6.000
 Maximum torque 196 rpm Nm/4.000
 Automatic Transmission 6-speed/FWD
 Dimensions (LxWxH) 4540 x 1840 x 1705 mm
 Wheelbase 2700 mm
 Tank capacity / spare tire 56 liters / space saver
 Ground clearance is 215 mm
 Tire size 225/55 R19
 Weight 1508 kg

Saving Tricks :

By utilizing the fuel consumption in real time, the driver can control the stamping on the gas pedal to get the numbers as efficiently as possible. But for the road uphill, it does not hurt to use the manual mode because the computer often enough to maintain tooth position was no longer even the way uphill. But this can only be done by the driver is quite sensitive to the spin machine. When the car stopped in traffic jams long enough, it could not hurt to counteract friction transmission position that does not happen.
