Does the Axela have a hatchback version?
2 Answers
The Axela is available in both hatchback and sedan versions. As a compact car under the Mazda brand, it is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. Both engines are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Axela features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. Its exterior design is highly appealing, and the interior exudes a sporty vibe. Building on an advanced human-machine interface that prioritizes driving safety, it is the first to incorporate the MZD Connect Mazda infotainment system. The vehicle's configuration consistently reflects a technologically advanced and user-friendly driving experience.
The Mazda3 Axela does indeed have a hatchback version, and I've driven one. The main reason for choosing the hatchback is its high practicality—the large trunk opening makes loading luggage especially convenient. On weekends, it can easily fit tents, bicycles, and other gear for family outings. The space utilization is much more flexible than a sedan; folding down the rear seats expands the cargo area, making it no problem to carry larger items. Plus, it's easier to park in the city due to the shorter body. That said, it’s slightly less stable at high speeds, but the fuel economy is decent, averaging around 7-8 liters per 100 km. If you frequently drive in the city or enjoy outdoor activities, this model is definitely reliable—just make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and don’t overlook tire wear.
