What components make up the G Vectoring system?

I believe its all software driven.

what @velocityc6 said. In the most basic sense .. it is throttle control and brake control.

"The system lightly brakes the outer wheels to help restore the vehicle to going in a straight line (keep in mind that when you are coming out of a turn, your outer wheels are moving faster than your inner ones). "

the video on this page (G-VECTORING CONTROL – MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS – DAVE COLEMAN PRESENTATION) should give you a bit more insight. It gets really interesting around the 9 minute mark and forward.

New Mazda Tech: What Is G-Vectoring Control Plus? - The News Wheel

With the new 2019 CX-5 (currently only available in Japan), Mazda unveiled the new G-Vectoring Control Plus system. But what is that?

TLDR; This system is very precise and is designed to be invisible to the driver. This is not AWD, this is not torque vectoring.

Thank you great set of videos.

G Vectoring Plus may be different, but the original 2nd gen G Vectoring Control was modulating throttle, not brakes, to provide the inertial adjustment. I didn't follow the links today, this is based on watching Dave video from a couple years back.

Sounds like an effort to promote understeer. I would be interested in seeing how it reacts on an awd cx5/3 with stiffer suspension and larger sway bars easily capable of mild oversteer
