The 1.5-liter manual transmission variant of the Mazda3 Axela achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.97 seconds, while the 1.5-liter automatic transmission model takes approximately 12.02 seconds. The 2.0-liter automatic transmission version accelerates from 0-100 km/h in about 9.23 seconds. Generally, 1.6L compact cars have 0-100 km/h acceleration times ranging between 11 to 13 seconds, 2.0T midsize sedans fall within 7 to 8 seconds, and supercars typically achieve this in under 3.8 seconds. The Mazda3 Axela is a compact sedan under the Mazda brand, equipped with two engine options: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power output of 86 kW, with peak torque of 148 Nm. It reaches its maximum power at 6,100 rpm and peak torque at 3,500 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine produces a maximum power of 116 kW and peak torque of 202 Nm, achieving maximum power at 6,400 rpm and peak torque at 4,000 rpm. Similarly, this engine incorporates direct fuel injection technology and employs an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.

As a long-time driving enthusiast, I believe the Mazda3's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is roughly between 9 to 10 seconds, depending on the engine configuration: the 1.5L version might take around 10.5 seconds, while the 2.0L can squeeze it down to just over 9 seconds. Mazda has always emphasized driving pleasure over pure speed, so the acceleration is linear and smooth, making the drive comfortable yet engaging. It's perfectly adequate for overtaking on city roads, but if you're seeking more thrills, I'd recommend opting for the turbocharged model or a simple intake system modification. After all, it's not a race car but a balanced daily driver, which becomes particularly evident during high-speed cornering. The vehicle weight and engine tuning do affect acceleration performance, though regular maintenance like using quality engine oil can help maintain responsive performance.

What is the rubber strip on the car door frame called?

The rubber strip on the car door frame is called the door sealing strip. It is a product that seals the car door, making it harder to open, and serves functions such as shock absorption, waterproofing, sound insulation, heat insulation, dust prevention, and fixation. Extended information: Functions: Mainly applied to door panels, door frames, side windows, front and rear windshields, engine hoods, and trunk lids, serving purposes in waterproofing, dust prevention, sound insulation, temperature insulation, shock absorption, and decoration. Composition: The door sealing system mainly targets two areas. One is the sealing of the door opening area, which relies primarily on an inner door sealing strip installed around the flanged edge of the side door opening or an outer door sealing strip installed around the door to seal the entire door opening. Some car models have both sealing strips, while others only have one. Different car models choose the sealing strategy based on performance requirements or cost objectives.

Can the heater be turned on while charging a new energy vehicle?

It is possible to turn on the heater while charging a new energy vehicle, but it is generally not recommended. Using the air conditioning during charging increases the internal charge load on the battery, causing the battery pack to continue working before it is fully charged. This accelerates the degradation rate of the power battery pack. Moreover, during the charging process, new energy vehicles typically operate under stable voltage and current conditions. However, using high-power appliances like the air conditioning requires higher voltage, which can lead to unstable current and negatively affect charging efficiency. Additionally, the battery capacity of a new energy vehicle's power battery pack is fixed during charging. If the air conditioning is used, it will continuously consume power, thereby prolonging the overall charging time. More importantly, using electrical appliances in the vehicle during charging accelerates the reaction speed of the battery's internal materials due to the current flow in the cycle. This speeds up battery degradation, and simultaneous charging and discharging can exacerbate battery aging and potentially increase the risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, although most pure electric vehicles currently allow the air conditioning to be used while charging, it is advisable to minimize simultaneous charging and discharging to prolong the battery's lifespan.

How many seconds does it take for a car to run 100 meters?

100-meter acceleration is a test of the car's engine power. An average car takes about 8 seconds to cover 100 meters, while a supercar typically takes only 3 seconds. Additional information: Maximum speed: The maximum speed refers to the highest driving speed a car can achieve on a level and well-paved road (concrete or asphalt). It is the speed at which the driving resistance and driving force are balanced under windless conditions on a flat road, and it is one of the three evaluation indicators of a car's dynamic performance. Influencing factors: There are many factors that affect a car's maximum speed, such as the engine's power, maximum torque, rotational speed at maximum torque, transmission ratio, and driving resistance. The maximum speed is measured on a flat and windless road with zero acceleration, so gradient resistance and acceleration are zero. Therefore, the main resistance factors affecting the maximum speed are air resistance and rolling resistance.

What are the regulations for vehicle annual inspection?

Vehicle annual inspection regulations are as follows: For passenger cars and blue-license-plate minivans, within the first six years after new vehicle registration, inspection is required every two years; after six years, it becomes an annual inspection; after ten years, inspection is required once a year, and after fifteen years, twice a year. For trucks, after registration, annual inspection is required, and after ten years, inspection is required twice a year. The documents required for vehicle annual inspection include: the vehicle's driving license, valid compulsory insurance policy, and vehicle and vessel tax. Below is additional information: New regulations: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial vehicles (excluding minivans) aged 6 to 10 years will change from an annual inspection to a biennial inspection. In other words, vehicles within 10 years only need to undergo on-site testing twice, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Important notes: If a vehicle is found by traffic police on the road without annual inspection, the owner may face fines or vehicle impoundment. Additionally, in insurance contracts, vehicles that fail to undergo timely annual inspection are considered unqualified, and no claims will be paid in the event of an accident.

Is Black Residue on Car Exhaust Pipe Normal?

This situation is normal. Typically, the primary fuel for a car is gasoline, and over time, black residue can accumulate on the exhaust pipe. The extent of residue buildup varies significantly among different types of vehicles. Generally, there are three common scenarios: Poor spark plugs: When the car is in a cold-start condition, if the spark plugs are not functioning properly, the air-fuel mixture may not burn completely, resulting in excessive black smoke. Oxygen sensor issues: If the engine has been in use for too long, its performance may degrade, causing the car to inject gasoline without proper air combustion, leading to heavy black smoke. Incorrect ignition timing: This timing discrepancy can prevent oxygen and fuel from fully mixing and burning. Other potential causes include a faulty temperature sensor or clogged fuel injectors. If any of these issues are detected, they should be addressed promptly. Regular maintenance should also pay attention to these problems.

How to Check the Vehicle Engine Number?

The engine number is usually found on the outer surface of the engine block, or on the vehicle's nameplate or the nameplate inside the engine compartment. You can also check the engine number on the car purchase invoice, the factory certificate, the operating license for commercial vehicles, the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, the registration record at the public security authority, or the vehicle insurance card. The simplest and most direct method is to look at the vehicle's administrative green book or the vehicle registration certificate. The engine number is like a person's ID number, representing each vehicle. It contains very important information about the vehicle. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer according to relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the attributes of the engine. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power, among others. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles must be marked with the professional manufacturer's name, model, and production number as required. It's important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's product line, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, with each engine having a unique number. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Front part: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or corporate code. Manufacturers can choose the appropriate letters as needed, but these must be approved and recorded by the industry standard regulatory body. Middle part: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Rear part: Composed of symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. Tail part: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed due to improvements or other reasons within the same product series, manufacturers can choose appropriate symbols. The rear and tail parts can be separated by a hyphen (-).
