What is the horsepower of the Mazda3 Axela?
3 Answers
The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine of the Mazda3 Axela produces 117ps horsepower, while the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 158ps horsepower. The Axela utilizes two naturally aspirated engines, both of which are equipped with Mazda's SKYACTIV technology. The Mazda3 Axela is a compact car with a very attractive exterior design and a sporty interior design. The Axela is available in both hatchback and sedan versions. It features the advanced MZD Connect infotainment system, which prioritizes driving safety, and the entire vehicle configuration consistently reflects a technologically advanced and user-friendly driving experience.
As a car enthusiast, I've been driving the Mazda3 Axela for a while. Its horsepower varies by model: the 1.5L engine version typically delivers 117 horsepower, suitable for city commuting; the 2.0L version reaches 158 horsepower, offering more power, especially during highway overtaking with quick response. Paired with the smooth six-speed automatic transmission, it delivers a strong sense of control. I recall that in the same class, the Honda Civic has around 180 horsepower, but the Mazda3's 158 horsepower, combined with Skyactiv technology tuning, focuses more on driving pleasure rather than pure numbers competition. Fuel consumption is also well controlled, about 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, making it quite practical. In actual driving, a bit more horsepower makes acceleration smoother, avoiding stuttering and enhancing driving safety.
I usually drive to and from work in a Mazda3 1.5L version, which has around 117 horsepower, and it's completely sufficient for me. In city traffic with frequent stops and starts, it accelerates smoothly from traffic lights without any sluggishness. On the highway, although it doesn't have the explosive power of the 2.0L 158-horsepower version, it's still very comfortable with the windows down and music playing. Horsepower affects fuel consumption, and my car only consumes around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, making it economical and affordable to maintain. Compared to my friends' higher-horsepower cars, the Mazda3's horsepower design is well-balanced, with less noise or roughness, making it very friendly for daily commuting, especially for beginners. If you're looking for a bit more driving fun, I'd recommend the 158-horsepower version, but the 117-horsepower model can still meet basic needs.
