How many seconds does the Mazda3 Axela take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?
2 Answers
The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Mazda3 Axela varies depending on different conditions: 1. The 1.5L manual transmission model takes 11.97 seconds; 2. The 1.5L automatic transmission model takes approximately 12.02 seconds; 3. The 2.0L automatic transmission model takes 9.23 seconds. Taking the 2020 Mazda3 Axela Manual Zhimei Edition as an example, it features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 117 PS, a maximum power of 86 kW, and a maximum torque of 148 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've driven this car, and I think the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Mazda3 Axela depends on the specific configuration. For the standard 2.0L engine version, it's usually between 9 to 10 seconds, which is sufficient for city driving and makes highway overtaking effortless. If you opt for the base 1.5L engine, it might take over 10 seconds, with slightly slower starts, but fuel consumption will be lower. I often drive it in urban areas, and my experience is that the car responds quickly with smooth gear shifts. Acceleration isn't the main consideration; instead, I value driving comfort and stability more. Different model years and conditions can slightly affect the time, such as tire wear or engine condition. For daily driving, I suggest not overthinking the numbers—safety comes first. If you occasionally push it hard, the car lets you enjoy cornering fun, striking a good overall balance.
