Is the Atenza a B-segment car?
2 Answers
The Atenza is a B-segment car, which is a sports sedan under the Mazda brand. Taking the 2020 Atenza as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with body dimensions of 4870mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1445mm in height, a wheelbase of 2830mm, a fuel tank capacity of 56.2 liters, and a curb weight of 1518kg. The 2020 Atenza features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158 PS, a maximum power of 116 kW, and a maximum torque of 202 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Speaking of the Mazda6 Atenza, I drive one myself, and it definitely qualifies as a B-segment midsize car. When I was choosing a car, I compared it with competitors like the Camry and Accord in the same class. The Atenza has a wheelbase of 2830mm, providing ample space—three people can sit comfortably in the back during family trips. The handling is excellent, with precise steering and stable high-speed cornering, unlike some family cars that feel too soft. Fuel consumption is around 8 liters in the city and 7 liters on the highway, not the most economical but still acceptable. The interior design is stylish, though the materials feel a bit plasticky. Routine maintenance costs just a few hundred bucks. Overall, it offers great value for money and is especially suitable for young and middle-aged drivers like me who enjoy a sporty driving experience. If you prefer a sporty style, it’s definitely a top choice in the B-segment.
