What is the fuel consumption of the Mazda 3 on highways and in urban areas?
3 Answers
Due to differences in displacement and transmission, fuel consumption varies slightly. The 1.6L automatic version has a combined fuel consumption of 9.4L per 100km, the 1.6L manual version consumes 8.1L, the 2.0L automatic version has a combined fuel consumption of 10.1L, and the 2.0L manual version consumes 9.0L. Below is an introduction to the Mazda 3: 1. Exterior Design: The new Mazda 3 adopts the second-generation KODO design language, featuring a large-sized front grille and a through-type air intake at the bottom of the front bumper. 2. Powertrain: The new-generation Mazda 3 is equipped with the latest SKYACTIV-X engine featuring SPCCI (Spark Controlled Compression Ignition) technology.
I've been driving a Mazda 3 for almost two years, mainly for city commuting. The fuel consumption is usually around 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can drop to 6.5 liters on the highway, which is quite fuel-efficient. In heavy traffic or with frequent red lights, the consumption can reach 10 liters, but on weekends, driving on the highway easily brings it below 6 liters. I think driving habits have a big impact, like avoiding aggressive starts and maintaining a steady speed. Also, the car model is important; my 2.0L gasoline version is more economical, while the 2.5L version has higher fuel consumption. Regularly changing the engine oil and checking tire pressure can help save on fuel costs, which is quite practical.
As a family car enthusiast, I've found that the Mazda 3's fuel consumption is approximately 9-10 liters per 100 km in urban environments and 6-7 liters on highways, slightly higher when using air conditioning or carrying loads. This car offers ample space and stable handling, making it suitable for family trips with kids, and daily commuting isn't too expensive either. Simple maintenance is key—I perform an annual service using low-viscosity oil, and fuel consumption changes minimally as the car ages. Upgrading to the Skyactiv-X engine would result in even lower fuel consumption. Overall, for families, the fuel cost is reasonable, and combined with its excellent safety performance, it's a very worthwhile choice.
