Does the Mazda3 Axela have automatic parking?
2 Answers
Mazda3 Axela does not come with automatic parking across all its models. Definition of automatic parking: The automatic parking button is marked with the letter P, meaning automatic parking. When the driver finds a suitable parking space, there's no need to control the steering wheel as the car can park itself into the space. Current status of automatic parking technology: However, based on current technology, automatic parking is not yet mature and has relatively high requirements for parking spaces. For example, many non-standard parking spaces encountered in daily life cannot utilize automatic parking, making it not very practical. Additionally, this technology is costly and not easily popularized.
I've been driving the Mazda3 Axela for three years now, and honestly, my version doesn't come with automatic parking. Every time I park, I rely on the radar imaging and manual operation to get it done. While it works quite well, automatic parking is definitely not standard equipment. Generally, the Axela focuses more on driving pleasure, with features like the G-Vectoring Control (GVC) acceleration vectoring system making the drive more exciting, which are more commonly found. Of course, some newer or higher-end models might offer it as an optional feature, such as the top trim or in certain overseas markets, but it's basically unavailable in common domestic models. If you want to know the specific configurations, you can check the vehicle manual or ask the staff at your local 4S store for confirmation. As for parking assistance, the standard rear parking sensors and rearview camera are already very practical, and once you get used to them, manual parking is no trouble at all.
