The Atenza does not come with a full-size spare tire. The Atenza is classified as a mid-size sedan, with body dimensions of 4870mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1445mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2830mm, a fuel tank capacity of 56.2 liters, and a trunk capacity of 483 liters. The tire specification is 225/55R17. The Atenza is powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 116kW at 6400rpm and a maximum torque of 202Nm at 4000rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The Mazda Atenza (Mazda6) usually doesn't come with a full-size spare tire. I researched this before buying the car - it's designed with that compact, space-saving temporary spare to reduce vehicle weight and trunk space, making the car more agile and fuel-efficient. As a car enthusiast, I find this practical especially for city commuting where extra trunk space matters, though the downside is it's strictly for emergency use with speed limits under 80km/h to avoid skidding. A friend who used the spare once reminded me to check its pressure quarterly to ensure reliability when needed. While not a perfect full-size replacement, it doesn't compromise safe driving and is quick to install.
