Mazda has develops new technology that provides the MX-5 Miata with better stability when cornering

KINEMATIC POSTURE CONTROL

With every generation and every model year, Mazda is continuously improving the MX-5 Miata to further deepen the sense of connection between the driver and car. Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) is the next step in that constant evolution, offering an improvement in high-g cornering precision and confidence. KPC is an all-new technology developed by Mazda that manages different vehicle systems to help the MX-5 Miata behave as a harmonious extension of the driver’s body without adding a single gram of weight.

For ride comfort and stability during every day or spirited driving, the MX-5 Miata’s rear suspension is already designed to help keep the vehicle planted to the ground when the brakes are applied. KPC takes advantage of this and applies a very slight brake to the inner rear wheel during high-g cornering. This pulls down on that corner, suppressing body roll, and making steering response feel more linear through tight or rough corners. Slightly stronger braking is used when accelerating through a corner, enhancing the limited-slip effect.
The MX-5 Miata maintains its engaging and nimble everyday driving and now, with KPC, it has more precise dynamics on more spirited roads. The result is more confidence and driving enjoyment.
