Mazda is a world leader in advanced automotive design and technology, which are incorporated into its vehicles to provide the best driving experience possible. As your Mazda dealership, we want to tell you about some of these innovative tech features.
From Your Mazda Dealership: 3 Innovative Tech Features You’ll Find in 2025 Mazda Models
Hill Launch Assist
Parking on a steep hill can be stressful for most drivers. This is particularly true for manual transmissions, but even with an automatic transmission, your vehicle’s weight and the pull of gravity can make your vehicle slide backward before you can hit the gas to get it moving forward. If this happens, it’s easy to panic, and this could cause an accident.
Hill Launch Assist prevents this problem from happening, as it uses sensors to detect an incline. This system uses the brakes to continue to hold your Mazda in place for approximately two seconds once you release the brake pedal, stopping it from rolling backward. As soon as you push the gas pedal, the brakes are released, and you can smoothly drive up and over the hill. This system is always active to keep you safe.
Innovative Headlight Systems
High Beam Control is part of the i-ACTIVSENSE driver assistance and safety system suite, and it’s active when you’re driving at night with the high beams on. This system uses sensors to detect the taillights of a vehicle in front of you or the headlights of one heading in your direction. When lights are detected, it automatically switches the lights to low beams. Once no lights are within sensor range, the headlights revert to high beams.
Adaptive Front Lighting System is another part of the i-ACTIVSENSE suite. Regular headlights point directly in front, but when you’re traveling on a winding road at night, you can’t easily see vehicles, pedestrians, or animals due to the curves in the road. This feature uses your speed and the direction of the steering wheel to allow the headlights to swivel and follow the road direction, ensuring you can clearly see anything in front of you.
i-ELOOP
With most vehicles, when you hit the brakes, the kinetic energy produced turns to heat, which rapidly dissipates. i-ELOOP is a revolutionary technology that uses a specialized alternator to capture this energy and store it in a capacitor. The energy in the capacitor is then used to power our vehicle’s electrical system, reducing the demands on the engine and wear and tear on its components.
This system also improves fuel economy, and, unlike the regenerative braking available on all-electric vehicles, it’s designed specifically to work with gasoline-powered engines.
