How Many Cylinders Does the Mazda 3 Axela Have?
2 Answers
The Mazda 3 Axela is a 4-cylinder vehicle, belonging to the compact car category. Taking the 2020 Mazda 3 Axela Manual Zhimei Edition as an example, it is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 117 hp, a maximum power of 86 kW, and a maximum power speed of 6,100 rpm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The 2020 Mazda 3 Axela Manual Zhimei Edition features a 4-door, 5-seater sedan body structure, with dimensions of 4,662 mm in length, 1,797 mm in width, and 1,445 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2,726 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters.
The mainstream models of the Mazda3 Axela are all equipped with 4-cylinder engines. I drive it to work every day and find the engine runs exceptionally smooth, especially the 2.0L naturally aspirated version. The SkyActiv technology makes it outstanding in fuel efficiency, consuming only about 6 liters per 100 km, which is super economical for daily commuting. It starts quickly with low noise, keeping the cabin quiet, and doesn’t tire you out even on long drives. Compared to 3-cylinder engines, it has less vibration, higher stability, and accelerates without hesitation. I prioritized this when choosing a car, especially since safety comes first with a child at home. Maintenance is also simple, requiring only a service every six months. The new model even incorporates the SkyActiv-X compression ignition technology, still a 4-cylinder, with higher efficiency—though I’m still testing it out. Overall, Mazda really puts thought into engine design, making it well-suited for family use.
