3 Answers
The 1.5L engine power of the Mazda3 Axela is sufficient. Here is more information about the Mazda3 Axela: 1. The 2021 Mazda3 Axela offers 9 models for consumers to choose from, with dimensions of 4662×1797×1445mm and a wheelbase of 2726mm. 2. The new car is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder and a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder spark-ignition naturally aspirated engine, with maximum output power of 117 horsepower and 158 horsepower respectively, and peak torque of 148 Nm and 202 Nm respectively. In terms of the transmission system, it is matched with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Mazda3 1.5 for almost a year now. As an urban commuter, its power is perfectly adequate for daily driving. My 30km daily commute through rush hour traffic is handled effortlessly - the car has responsive acceleration and impressively low fuel consumption around 5.5L/100km in city driving. Overtaking in urban areas is easy and stress-free. Once when traveling to the suburbs with three passengers, it handled gentle slopes without issue, though steeper inclines required more throttle input. The handling is excellent with stable cornering. For primarily city driving, power is no concern at all, and it can manage occasional highway overtaking too. Personally, I find it more than sufficient for normal driving needs and offering great value for money.
As an avid driver, I've studied the Mazda3 1.5L's power specs - its 117hp is sufficient for city use with quick starts and fuel efficiency. Highway overtaking acceleration is slightly weaker compared to the 2.0L version, requiring extra safety distance. In real driving, engine noise is low but power delivery smoothness suffers at high RPMs. For my frequent suburban trips with light cargo, the power has been adequate without breakdowns. I recommend the budget-friendly 1.5L for practicality, though performance seekers might consider upgrading. While adequate for daily driving, it may disappoint speed enthusiasts.
