What is the highway fuel consumption of the 2.5L Mazda6 Atenza?
2 Answers
The Mazda6 Atenza 2.5L has a fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 kilometers, which can be attributed to Mazda's unique "SKYACTIV Technology". Reasons for the Atenza's popularity: 1. Driving comfort: The "Japanese BMW" offers drivers absolute control with its responsive handling and immediate power delivery. 2. Distinctive exterior design: Bold front fascia, sleek waistline, signature lighting, and robust physique. 3. Fuel efficiency: While many owners may not understand the technical principles behind its fuel-saving capabilities, the stable fuel consumption clearly saves money for city drivers.
I've driven several Mazda6 2.5s, and the highway fuel consumption usually hovers between 7.5 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, mainly depending on your speed and road conditions. For example, driving above 110km/h increases wind resistance, which slightly raises fuel consumption. This car is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine, which is quite fuel-efficient at low RPM during highway cruising. I've tested that maintaining a steady speed of 100km/h can reduce consumption to around 7 liters. Factors affecting fuel economy include maintaining standard tire pressure, avoiding excessive load, and using air conditioning, which slightly increases consumption. For better fuel efficiency, I recommend using cruise control more often, as driving at a constant speed is the most economical. Actually, compared to the over 10 liters per 100 kilometers in city traffic jams, highway driving is a highlight of this car. I always calculate fuel consumption on long trips, and it's generally as expected.
