    Mazda “MX-30” improves quick charging performance … 2022 model European orders start .

    “Mazda MX-30, Improved Fast Charging Performance…European Orders for the 2022 Mazda MX-30 Begin
    Approx. 200 km range on a single charge

    Accelerator pedal to reflect the driver’s intended acceleration/deceleration
    On May 12, Mazda’s European division began accepting orders for the 2022 model year of Mazda MX-30, the automaker’s first production EV. It is designed to speed up the charging process.

    ◆Around 200km range on a single charge.
    The MX-30 will be equipped with e-SKYACTIV, a new generation of electrification technology. The system consists of a motor, battery pack, inverter, and DC-DC converter. The motor, inverter, DC-DC converter, and junction box are designed as one unit and integrated into a high-voltage unit at the front of the vehicle. For the European version, the motor produces a maximum output of 145ps.

    The lithium-ion battery, which is located under the floor and has a storage capacity of 35.5 kWh, has a range of approximately 200 km (WLTP cycle combined mode) per charge. As a result, the quick charging time has been reduced by 10 minutes, from approximately 36 minutes to 26 minutes.

    Both the regular and fast charging ports are integrated and located on the right rear fender. An on-board AC charging cable is provided in the cargo area. The battery pack is equipped with a refrigerant cooling system that cools the battery pack. Sensors constantly monitor battery temperature and control the flow of coolant as needed. By maintaining the best possible battery temperature, even on the hottest days, the system protects the battery pack from heat-induced deterioration. Effective cooling performance is also pursued through coordinated control of the air conditioning system and battery cooling system.

    ◆Optimized EV powertrain sound
    The MX-30’s EV sound allows the driver to subconsciously recognize the amount of torque produced by the EV powertrain. 2022 model year updates have optimized the frequency. This means that the EV sound will sound more consistent with other sounds heard while driving, such as wind and road noise. The company boasts that this allows drivers to perceive the amount of torque produced by the EV powertrain in a natural way.

    The 2022 model features new interior and exterior combinations. The number of multi-tone color schemes has been increased to four. A new zircon sand color was introduced, as well as new dark gray and black interior options for the higher grades. This gives customers more choices than ever before.

    All models come standard with LED headlights with daytime running lights, a reverse camera, Mazda radar cruise control with intelligent speed assist, navigation, and a heads-up display.

    ◆Accelerator pedal that reflects the driver’s intended acceleration and deceleration
    The e-SKYACTIV system’s accelerator pedal uses Mazda’s unique electric motor torque control system to achieve the desired vehicle speed and attitude control based on the amount of both acceleration and deceleration intended by the driver. By closely monitoring the stroke and the speed of the driver’s pedal action, the accelerator pedal is said to produce G-forces that meet the driver’s expectations.

    When the driver operates the pedal slowly, the torque changes gradually, making it easier to maintain vehicle speed. In contrast, quick pedal operation produces powerful acceleration as the vehicle determines that the driver wants to accelerate. When the driver takes his/her foot off the accelerator pedal, the system monitors the speed at which the driver operates the pedal and controls the deceleration G response accordingly.

    In addition, measures to increase the rigidity of the torque transmission system, such as the power unit mount, enable smooth and stable vehicle behavior even when the motor’s torque changes from generating driving force to braking force. In addition, when the motor and brake operate coordinated control braking, kinetic energy is recovered and electricity can be regenerated without waste.”

    Nissan “March” is finally out of production ! 40 years of history! Nissan Compact will be inherited by “Notebook” and what will happen to the next model?

    “Finally, Nissan “”March”” Production Ends! The end of 40 years of history! Nissan Compact succeeded by the “”Note”” What will happen to the next model?

    40 Years of History Comes to an End! Nissan’s MARCH, a car that has been loved for 40 years, is to be discontinued.
     The Nissan March has been loved by many users for about 40 years since its first generation model, the K10, was launched in 1982.

     There are rumors on social networking sites and in the street that the March will be discontinued in the summer of 2022. Will the March actually go out of production?

    Will this be the next March? See the cool new “”March”” and more in pictures!

    Nissan “”March”” to end production in August 2022, bringing the curtain down on 40 years of history…

     The March is a long-selling model, with the first generation model (1982-1992), the second generation model (1992-2002), the third generation model (2002-2010), and the fourth generation model being launched in 2010, marking its 12th year in 2022.

     The 4th generation model was produced not in Japan but in Thailand and other global factories, and the Japanese version was imported from Thailand, which was unusual at the time.

     The second-generation model always ranked high in terms of annual sales volume, and the third-generation model was ranked high when it was first launched. However, with the introduction of rivals such as Toyota’s Vitz in 1999 and Honda’s Fit in 2001, sales volume lagged behind.

     While the Vitz and Fit were undergoing a series of minor changes and improvements to introduce the latest features, the March did not receive any major improvements, and it seemed to be struggling in terms of product competitiveness.

     A former Nissan sales staff member who used to sell the March said, “”The March has a long history as Nissan’s entry model, but with the current model, its role has shifted to minicars and the Note. In addition, as a result of cost reductions, the current model has widened the gap between it and its rivals in terms of equipment and other aspects.

     The end of March production was first announced on the official blog of Nissan Prince Ibaraki dealers, which stated the following as of March 2022: “”Nissan’s compact car, MARCH, will be discontinued in March 2022.

    “”Production of Nissan’s compact car MARCH will end in August 2022.

     Since its launch, March has been loved by everyone for many years as a ‘compact car that anyone can drive’ and a ‘cost-effective passenger car.

     The March, which represents Nissan’s compact car lineup, will be discontinued in August 2022.

     In addition, Nissan dealers in the Chubu area say, “”Currently, production has already stopped and only a few of them have the March in stock.

     This indicates that the March, which has been in production for about 40 years, will be discontinued in August 2022, and some dealerships in some areas already have only a few vehicles in stock.

     Since the production of March will end in August 2022, people on social networking sites are saying, “”It’s sad to see the March that used to colorfully decorate the city go away,”” “”I can’t believe March production will end…wait until I can save up enough money,”” “”Finally, the K13 March will also end production…”” and “”I’m disappointed that the March will end production… Many users seem to be disappointed with the end of March production.

     On the other hand, Nissan’s Mexican subsidiary announced the new March (2022 model) on March 1, 2022, and it has become a hot topic.

     Although the Mexican version of the March is basically the same as the fourth-generation model sold in Japan, it is more powerful, with a large V-motion grille and sharp headlights, unlike the gentle front face of the March sold in Japan.

     On social networking sites, people are asking, “”I wonder if this model will be sold in Japan? and “”Why don’t they introduce it in Japan?

     In addition, the fourth-generation model was sold in several regions as the Micra, and a teaser image of the BEV, which is believed to be its successor model, was held in January 2022.

     The teaser image shows a design featuring the round eyes of the once-popular 3rd generation March, and in the near future, the long-loved March may return to Japan as an electric vehicle (EV).”

    The Toyota RAV4 SUV is popular due to its customizable features and the feeling of owning a unique car

    The Toyota RAV4 SUV is popular due to its customizable features and the feeling of owning a unique car. The author of the article drove the American version of the RAV4 Adventure for three years, which has a larger engine and a different gearbox from the Japanese version. The current fifth-generation RAV4 was developed with the North American market in mind, with a design that reflects the trend towards outdoor activities. The front design had to match other Toyota models sold in the US, including pickups and SUVs, to enhance the brand’s identity. The RAV4 Adventure grade became popular in Japan after a preview event, leading Toyota’s domestic sales department to consider it a potential hit in the Japanese market.
    The Toyota RAV4 is popular due to its customizable features, which allow owners to personalize their vehicles and create a sense of attachment to them. This is in line with Toyota’s philosophy that cars are not just products, but objects of affection. RAV4 owners often participate in off-road events and customize their vehicles in various ways, with lift-up and low-down modifications being the most common. The former group tends to use all-terrain tires with 16-inch wheels, while the latter prefer larger wheels with low-profile tires. The Adventure grille is also a popular customization option, with many owners replacing the Toyota emblem with the word “TOYOTA” in the US Toyota style.

    Jimny with sliding doors exists! Wood interior and “Osha Car Overnight” are possible! What is the “Jimny”, a rugged-looking light van?

    Jimny with sliding doors! What kind of car is “Jimny”?
     At the TOKYO OUTDOOR SHOW 2023, held in conjunction with the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023 for three days from January 13, 2023, a variety of custom cars made their appearance.

     Among them was a custom car called “Jimny,” which looks like a combination of Suzuki’s “Every” and “Jimny,” but what kind of car is it?

    “Jimny” with slides – awesome! See the actual custom car “Jim Lee” in pictures!

    What kind of car is “Jimny”?

     The EVRY is a one-box minicar equipped with sliding rear doors on both sides, and is popular among users not only as a passenger car (EVRY Wagon) but also as a commercial vehicle, especially among delivery companies.

     The Jimny, on the other hand, is Suzuki’s compact 4WD that has gained popularity among many users for its ability to handle rough roads.

     The aptly named “Jimny,” which looks like a combination of these two models, was exhibited at the T-STYLE booth at the Tokyo Outdoor Show 2023.

     While the Every usually has a calm front face with square headlights, the Jimry by T-STYLE is equipped with a “”Jimry Face Kit”” that includes a hood, grille, front bumper, and left and right fenders.

     By also attaching the front grille, headlamps, and bumper mesh from the factory parts, the Jimny face is instantly transformed into a Jimny face.

     In addition, tires, wheels, and an external grille can be optionally installed for a further image change.

     Also available as options are “leather and corduroy seat covers” and an “antique bed kit.

     A wood-grain system rack under the bed can be used as a table by attaching a top cover to the drawer.

     The brown leather looks better than orange and is designed to provide a stylish, high quality overnight stay in a car.

     At the Tokyo Outdoor Show, a folding tent that can be installed under the hood of a car was also on display.

     Prices for the Jimry range from 1,965,700 yen to 2,347,400 yen for the Every Wagon base model, and from 1,354,100 yen to 1,904,100 yen for the Every Van base model. (Complete cars based on new vehicles, consumption tax included)

     Optional leather and corduroy seat covers are 107,800 yen, and the antique bed kit with system rack (van only) is 308,000 yen.
