2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Mazda3 1.5 is 51 liters. This model is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The Mazda3 is a compact car under the Mazda brand, with body dimensions of 4662 mm in length, 1797 mm in width, and 1445 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2726 mm. The Mazda3 features a 7-inch multimedia display with various functions such as communication, entertainment, navigation, and rearview camera. Positioned upright on the dashboard, it effectively minimizes driver distraction, enhancing driving safety.
I've been driving the Mazda 3 1.5L for almost three years now, with an official fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. For daily urban commuting, the fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 km, allowing me to travel nearly 650 km on a full tank. I typically visit the gas station only once every two weeks. This tank size is quite generous for a compact car, holding more fuel than my friend's Honda Civic with its 47-liter tank. However, you might notice that after the fuel pump automatically stops, you can still add an extra liter or two. I don't recommend doing this, as overfilling the tank could potentially damage the carbon canister system. The fuel tank is located at the bottom rear of the car, a well-thought-out design that prevents it from hitting obstacles even on bumpy roads. For long-distance road trips, the 51-liter capacity combined with the fuel efficiency of the 6-speed automatic transmission means you won't have to worry about finding gas stations during cross-province journeys.
