What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Mazda 3 Axela?
2 Answers
According to official data, the Mazda 3 Axela comes with two engine options: 1.5T and 2.0T. The 2.0T model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.23 seconds, while the 1.5T model takes 12.02 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque represents the force available to propel the vehicle. Higher torque generally results in faster acceleration. The Mazda 3 Axela 2.0T produces a maximum torque of 148 Nm, achieving 0-100 km/h in 9.23 seconds. The 1.5T variant delivers 202 Nm of torque with a 0-100 km/h time of 12.02 seconds. Transmission efficiency: As the medium for power transfer, transmissions inevitably incur power losses. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Mazda 3 Axela is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Mazda 3 Axela 2.0T has a power-to-weight ratio of 114 Hp/T, achieving 0-100 km/h in 9.23 seconds. The 1.5T model has a ratio of 87.3 Hp/T with a 0-100 km/h time of 12.02 seconds.
I've been into cars for several years. The Mazda Axela comes with 1.5L and 2.0L engines, and there's quite a difference in their 0-100 km/h acceleration times. The 2.0L version takes about 8 to 9 seconds, which feels quite exhilarating to drive, with quick and smooth engine response, especially during city starts or highway overtaking. The 1.5L is a bit slower, around 11 seconds, adequate for daily commuting but lacking in excitement. Mazda cars are known for their excellent handling; while not the fastest in acceleration, they offer great overall balance. The steering is light yet stable, making it a blast to drive on mountain roads. If you're after more power, consider modifications, but the factory setup is economical and practical with decent fuel efficiency. During maintenance, checking the spark plugs and air filter can help maintain acceleration performance. Remember, engine temperature and road conditions also affect acceleration, and using air conditioning in summer can make it slightly slower. Overall, it strikes a great balance between driving fun and practicality, and I highly recommend trying the 2.0L version.
