What is the actual fuel consumption of the Mazda Atenza 2.0?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the Mazda Atenza is 6.4L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is closely related to the driver's habits and the road conditions. If the driving habits are poor and the car is frequently driven on roads with severe traffic congestion, the fuel consumption will definitely be higher. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer. Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. If the cooling effect is poor, the fan speed will be increased and the temperature lowered to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking. Frequent sudden braking is the main reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid setting the air conditioning too high in small-displacement vehicles. For vehicles exposed to the sun, do not turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.
I started driving the Mazda Atenza 2.0 last year, mainly for commuting in the city. During peak hours with heavy traffic, the fuel consumption can go up to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. But on weekends when I take the highway, it drops to around 6 liters. On average, it stays pretty stable at about 8.5 liters. I’m used to smooth driving, avoiding sudden brakes and hard acceleration, which really helps save fuel. Using the AC in summer adds about 0.5 liters, and the same goes for cold weather. I recommend checking tire pressure regularly to avoid it being too low and changing the engine oil as per the manual—these small details can optimize fuel efficiency a bit. Also, avoid overloading the car; extra weight increases fuel consumption. Overall, the Atenza performs well and is more fuel-efficient than many cars in its class. Using an app to track actual driving data gives more accurate results.
