What is the fuel consumption of the Mazda 3 Axela?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Mazda 3 Axela is 6.7-7.9 liters per 100 kilometers. The Mazda 3 Axela is a car produced by Changan Mazda, and it is the third model to adopt the new generation "Skyactiv" technology and the new design theme "KODO." It made its debut at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show. Relevant information about joint-venture cars is as follows: Introduction: A project jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. The Chinese side contributes by providing land and factory usage rights, as well as capital, while the foreign investors contribute brands, technology, capital, talent, etc. Joint-venture cars are the products of such collaborations. Foreign parties provide technology, talent, brands, etc., for domestic assembly, but the core technology is still controlled by the foreign side. Joint-venture brands under the FAW Group include: FAW-Volkswagen, FAW-Audi, FAW-Mazda (all produced in Changchun, Jilin), and FAW-Toyota (produced in Changchun, Jilin; Tianjin; and Chengdu, Sichuan).
I've been driving the Mazda3 Axela for two years now, with an average fuel consumption of around 7.5L/100km. During city rush hour traffic, it can go over 8L, especially in summer when prolonged AC use pushes consumption to 9L. On smooth highway drives, it drops to just over 6L - my most fuel-efficient trip was a long-distance cruise at steady 70km/h achieving 5.8L. Driving habits make a big difference: I avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and gentle throttle application at startup saves fuel. Regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter replacements also help prevent higher consumption. Fellow owners in our group chat mention the Skyactiv technology makes this engine more fuel-efficient than older models. My 2.0L naturally aspirated version maintains reasonable consumption when well-maintained, with one tank easily covering 500km in city driving. Key fuel-saving tips include route planning and using eco mode. Overall, it's an economical daily commuter.
