What is the fuel consumption of the Mazda Axela?
2 Answers
Mazda Axela's fuel consumption ranges from 5.2L to 6.2L. The naturally aspirated engine of the Mazda Axela demonstrates excellent fuel efficiency, largely due to the synergy between the engine and transmission, as well as reasonable driving logic and efficient operation. Here is the extended content: 1. Fuel consumption of different Axela versions: The 1.5L version of the Axela has a combined fuel consumption of 4.6-4.9L/100km; the 2.0L version has a combined fuel consumption of 4.9-5.4L/100km. 2. Combined fuel consumption: The reason for providing a range of combined fuel consumption is that different versions of the model have varying fuel consumption values, such as the flagship version and the premium version having certain differences in fuel consumption. Additionally, the fuel consumption tested by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is conducted indoors, which differs significantly from real-world usage scenarios, so it often fails to achieve such "ideal" fuel consumption.
I've driven the Mazda Axela several times, and its fuel consumption varies significantly depending on the configuration. The 1.5L engine averages about 7-8L/100km in city driving, dropping to 6-7L on highways, which is quite fuel-efficient. Many factors affect fuel consumption, such as driving habits—if you frequently floor the accelerator or brake hard, consumption can spike above 9L. Vehicle weight and drag coefficient are also crucial; the Axela is relatively light among compact cars, and its optimized aerodynamic design helps with highway fuel economy. Tire pressure and air conditioning usage matter too—running the AC in summer can increase fuel consumption by about half a liter. Official figures usually cite 5.8-6.5L/100km, but real-world driving with traffic lights and congestion typically adds at least a liter. For better fuel efficiency, smooth driving at a steady 60-80km/h, plus regular air filter and oil changes, can keep consumption within the ideal range—delivering both driving fun and cost savings.
