2 Answers
Mazda 3 Axela's engine model is SkyActiv-G. The Mazda 3 Axela is a compact car under Changan Mazda. The body dimensions of the Mazda 3 Axela are: length 4662mm, width 1797mm, height 1445mm, with a wheelbase of 2726mm, front track of 1568mm, and rear track of 1581mm. The Mazda 3 Axela is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0L 180 horsepower L4 naturally aspirated engine. The suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been driving this Mazda3 Axela for two and a half years, with the 2.0L version equipped with the PE-VPS engine. This engine is the core product of Mazda's SKYACTIV technology, featuring a compression ratio of 13:1. The driving experience is exceptionally smooth, with power readily available at the press of the accelerator, making city overtaking effortless. On a long-distance trip, the highway fuel consumption was only 6.2L, prompting the gas station attendant to ask if it was a hybrid. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only minor servicing every 10,000 kilometers after the first service, involving just an oil and filter change. My friends opted for the 1.5L model with the P5-VPR engine, which offers slightly less power but better fuel efficiency, making it ideal for city commuting. When choosing a car, I recommend test-driving both engine sizes to feel the power difference before making a decision.
