Mazda CX-50: Mi-Drive and Towing Mode review!

The CX-50 is the first Mazda vehicle specifically designed to navigate unpaved roads and venture onto naturally unpredictable and uneven paths. The first-ever CX-50 showcases Mazda's trademark natural driving experience to create greater confidence on and off the road. To enhance this experience, it will be equipped, like the standard models, with the latest version of i-ACTIV all-wheel-drive technology and the new Mazda or Mi-Drive intelligent drive mode selection system. The new drive modes can be selected with the Mi-Drive button, and the SUV will steer naturally in a wide variety of conditions, such as exciting off-road terrain, or it can provide incredible towing capabilities. In towing mode, the CX-50 pre-loads the AWD torque coupling that connects the front and rear wheels, forcing them to go at the same speed and resist that sway motion. As a result, the CX-50 feels more stable and confident while towing. Mazda also studied the frequent steering corrections most drivers do while towing — and learned that they result from the vehicle not responding intuitively to small steering inputs. The added weight from the trailer pushes down behind the rear wheels, causing the nose of a vehicle to pivot up and lift the weight off the front tires. Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control addresses this by shifting weight onto those front tires every time the driver moves the steering wheel, restoring normal steering response. The vehicle responds intuitively, resists small nudges from the trailer, and the driver experiences Mazda’s premium driving dynamics even when towing. Equipped with the turbo engine, the Mazda CX-50 can tow 3500lbs! (2000lbs with base motor). In this video, see how a CX-50 will handle towing with the new Mi-Drive system and the Towing mode.
