Atenza is equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 116 kW and a maximum torque of 202 N·m, while the 2.5L engine produces a maximum power of 141 kW and a maximum torque of 252 N·m. The Atenza measures 4870mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. The exterior adopts Mazda's new KODO design language, featuring standard LED headlights with a scorpion-eye design that enhances elegance while maintaining the original sense of beauty, power, and speed. For the interior, the Atenza incorporates Mazda's 6.5-generation cabin design, showcasing comprehensive innovations in layout, materials, and technological features.
As an owner who has driven the Atenza for several years, I've always admired its powertrain. It uses Mazda's SKYACTIV series engines, typically equipped with either 2.0L or 2.5L naturally aspirated models. This engine features a high compression ratio design of 13:1, which improves combustion efficiency. In actual driving, it's both fuel-efficient and responsive, with smooth acceleration and overtaking. In terms of fuel consumption, I consistently get around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers during daily city commutes, which is more economical than some turbocharged engines. Noise control is also good, with steady engine sound. Maintenance isn't troublesome, just requiring regular oil and filter changes. On long drives, the smooth acceleration feels very comfortable, unlike some cars that may have lag. Mazda continues to optimize, and newer models may incorporate mild hybrid technology to further enhance performance.
