What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mazda 3 Axela?
2 Answers
The Mazda 3 Axela has a total of 11 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Mazda 3 Axela is equipped with an automatic transmission (AT) and features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. In the same vehicle class, the 2021 Ford Focus Sedan 1.5L Manual has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, while the 2022 Honda Civic 180TURBO CVT has a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space left between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is nearly full.
I've been driving a Mazda Axela for over three years now, with a fuel tank capacity of about 51 liters, which is pretty standard. For daily commuting, a full tank can last me around 450 to 500 kilometers, depending on driving habits. I prefer driving steadily, not too fast, maintaining a speed of 70-80 km/h for optimal fuel efficiency. Traffic jams in the city do consume more fuel, but a full tank still gets me through a week of commuting. Occasionally, for long trips, I'm not worried either, as long as I plan the refueling stops in advance. Overall, it offers great value for money, and I haven't encountered any major issues. Just remember not to frequently run the tank empty before refueling; keeping some reserve is good for the engine.
