What type of transmission does the Mazda3 Axela use?
2 Answers
The Mazda3 Axela is equipped with the Skyactiv-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission. The transmission primarily refers to the vehicle's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. A manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variations through different gear combinations. An automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations. The Mazda3 Axela is a vehicle produced by Changan Mazda. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4582mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1458mm in height. The Mazda3 Axela features the advanced human-machine interface that prioritizes driving safety and is the first to incorporate the 'MZD Connect' Mazda Connect System. The vehicle's configuration consistently reflects a technologically advanced and user-friendly driving experience.
I used to drive this car, the Mazda 3 Axela, which mainly comes with two types of transmissions. The automatic version features a 6-speed automatic transmission developed by Mazda itself, which pairs perfectly with the Skyactiv engine, delivering exceptionally smooth gear shifts without any noticeable jerks even in traffic jams. The manual version is a 6-speed manual transmission with clear gear positions and short shifts, making it very engaging to drive. This transmission system responds quickly, delivering power as soon as you press the accelerator, and downshifts decisively when cornering. After driving it for over three years, I found it to be highly reliable, with maintenance being more hassle-free compared to German cars—just regular transmission fluid changes are needed.
