Mazda2 Facelift...

[Orablue]

Just came across this article in www.triplezoom.com

 

Please note that the features described here are probably for U.S. models. Though some may also apply to local import

 

****************************************************************

 

Features of the freshened Demio:

All models are of the highest level of fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness for Green Tax compliance.

 

A broad array of improvements has resulted in significant gains in fuel efficiency when in 10-15 mode; for example, a nine percent improvement for a 1.3-liter engine automatic transmission model. All models have achieved reductions in vehicle emissions to meet the highest standards.

 

 

Fuel efficiency

Engine features:

- By employing an EGR cooler and electric throttle, the Demio attains an increased volume of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and;

- Partial energy recovery during deceleration due to an electrical discharge control system;

- Reduced engine revolutions when idling through lowered resistance.

 

Transmission features:

- Improved efficiency during normal engine running through automatic-transmission tuning and load decrease when idling.

- Improved balance between fuel efficiency and driving resulting from overhaul of gear ratios of the automatic transmission.

 

Other changes:

- Adopted power steering by adding an electric motor.

- Reduced electric current consumption by decreasing the load on the fuel pump and by adopting light emitting diodes (LED) for the high mount stoplamp.
