What is Mazda’s Mi-Drive?
Posted in Mazda News
Tailored Driving at Your Fingertips
Mazda’s Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) makes adapting your driving experience to different conditions as simple as the flick of a switch.
Designed to optimise performance and efficiency, Mi-Drive ensures your Mazda is ready for everyday drives, towing heavy loads, exploring off-road terrain, or even running in pure electric mode in plug-in hybrid models.
Normal Driving Mode: Balanced for Everyday
Normal Mode is designed to offer a smooth and versatile driving experience. It combines a focus on fuel efficiency with responsive performance, making it ideal for both city commutes and long highway drives.
For hybrid models like the Mazda CX-90, the rear-biased All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system enhances stability, while Mazda’s Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) provides added grip and comfort.
It’s an excellent all-around mode for most driving conditions.
Sport Driving Mode: Enhanced Performance
Sport Mode adjusts the car’s engine response and transmission settings to deliver a more dynamic driving experience. Acceleration becomes more responsive, and gear changes are optimised for power when you need it most.
In hybrid models like the Mazda CX-60 and CX-90, this mode makes full use of their high-output powertrains, whether it’s a plug-in hybrid, petrol, or diesel engine.
Sport Mode is perfect for situations like merging onto highways or tackling winding roads where you want a bit more excitement and control.
Off-Road Driving Mode: Confidence on Any Terrain
Off-Road Mode is designed to handle loose or uneven surfaces, such as gravel, snow, or dirt trails. The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and Traction Control System adjust automatically to distribute power and torque where it’s needed, helping maintain grip and stability.
With features like Off-Road Traction Assist, this mode ensures that even in challenging conditions, your Mazda remains steady and capable.
It’s a great option for those looking to explore beyond paved roads with confidence.
Towing Mode: Smooth and Stable Hauling
Towing Mode is engineered to make pulling heavy loads easier and more stable.
By optimising the engine and transmission to account for additional weight, this mode helps improve stability and control when towing trailers, boats, or caravans.
Available in hybrid models like the Mazda CX-90, Towing Mode ensures a smoother driving experience even on longer journeys or uneven terrain, making it an excellent choice for anyone with towing needs.
EV Mode: Quiet and Efficient Driving
EV Mode, available in plug-in hybrid models like the Mazda CX-60 and CX-80, lets you drive on pure electric power for emission-free travel.
- Mazda CX-60: Offers up to 76km of electric range with fuel consumption as low as 2.1L/100km and just 49g/km CO₂ emissions.
- Mazda CX-80: Provides up to 65km of electric range while achieving fuel consumption of 2.7L/100km and emitting 64g/km CO₂.
This mode is perfect for short trips around town or reducing your environmental footprint on longer drives, while still offering smooth and quiet acceleration.
