What is the fuel consumption of the Mazda 3?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Mazda 3 ranges from 5.2L to 6.2L. The Mazda 3 is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with dimensions of 4515mm in length, 1745mm in width, and 1465mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. This model is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 79 kW and a maximum torque of 146 Nm, with front-wheel drive configuration. The Mazda 3 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters and a top speed of 187 km/h.
I've been driving a Mazda3 for almost two years now, the 2022 2.0L version. For daily commuting in the city, it shows an average fuel consumption of 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, which goes up a bit during traffic jams. But on highway trips during weekends, it can drop to around 6 liters, which is quite economical. A full tank of 40L can take me over 500 kilometers, more fuel-efficient than my friends' cars in the same class. Driving habits make a big difference - I've tried reducing sudden braking and maintaining a speed of 80km/h, and the fuel efficiency improved noticeably. Using the AC adds about 1 liter, but I find it acceptable. Overall, the car's fuel consumption is quite stable, and with proper maintenance, it saves a significant amount on fuel costs annually.
