What engine does the Mazda2 use?
2 Answers
The Mazda2 is equipped with 1.3L and 1.5L naturally aspirated engines. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The Mazda2 is a compact car under Changan Mazda. The 1.3L naturally aspirated engine delivers 86 horsepower and 123 N·m of maximum torque. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6,000 rpm and peak torque at 3,500 rpm. It features continuous variable valve timing technology and multi-point fuel injection, with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4AT gearbox. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine produces 103 horsepower and 138 N·m of maximum torque. It achieves maximum power output at 6,000 rpm and peak torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine is equipped with variable valve timing system and multi-point fuel injection, also using an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is matched with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4AT gearbox.
I've been driving a Mazda 2 for three years, equipped with that classic 1.5L four-cylinder engine. Although the displacement is small, it's quite agile from a standstill, and has enough power for overtaking in the city. Its technical highlight lies in Mazda's Skyactiv Technology, with a high compression ratio and excellent fuel consumption control—I average around 6 liters per 100 kilometers in daily driving. Maintenance is straightforward, and with regular servicing, it rarely gives any trouble. The older models used the MZR series, while the newer upgraded versions are quieter with less vibration. On weekend highway drives, the power delivery is linear, and the engine feels quite strong when revved above 4,000 rpm. Overall, it's highly reliable and particularly suitable for commuting.
