The Mazda brand has long been about providing a top-of-the-line driving experience. And vehicle safety is a key part of that experience. That’s why the automaker is packing more standard safety features into all trim levels of the 2018 Mazda3, which you can test drive here at Hall Mazda Virginia Beach.
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is now standard across the entire 2018 Mazda3 lineup. SCBS has been designed to help avoid rear-end collisions. Did you know that rear-end collisions are the most common type of accident plaguing drivers? What’s more, 60 percent of these accidents occur at less than 19mph. When driving your 2018 Mazda3 at these slow speeds, SCBS kicks into gear. A laser sensor mounted on the windshield works to keep an eye out for the risk of a collision. If it detects such a risk, SCBS readies the brake system to deliver maximum stopping power when the driver hits the brakes. If the driver fails to take evasive action, either by braking or steering, the system applies the brakes and reduces engine output to avoid the collision entirely or reduce impact severity.
G-Vectoring Control is another great Mazda-exclusive technology that sets the 2018 Mazda3 lineup apart. Using the engine to put a minute amount of weight on the front tires, G-Vectoring Control makes steering inputs more surefooted, thereby delivering improved stability.
