Mazda Axela

Every version uses an Inline 4 with 4 valves per cylinder. Layout below is cilindrov_en + raspolozhenie_cilindrov_en as stored. Fuel, gearbox, drive, and boost are the English labels from the data.

1 generation (2003-10-01 – 2009-05-31). Sedan. 12 versions, all Gasoline, all with an Inline 4 and boost No. The named versions are 1.5 AT (114 hp, FWD, Automatic, 4 gears), 1.5 MT (114 hp, FWD, Manual, 5 gears), 2.0 AT (143 hp, AWD, Automatic, 4 gears), 2.0 AT (150 hp, FWD, Automatic, 4 gears), 2.3 MT (171 hp, FWD, Manual, 5 gears), and 2.3 AT (171 hp, FWD, Automatic, 4 gears). Each of those six names appears twice in this generation with the same power, fuel, gearbox, and drive; they are not the same row: kerb weight differs (see Dimensions). Engine placement where measured is Front, transverse. Fuel labels are 92 on the 1.5 and 2.0 versions and 95 on the 2.3 versions. 0–100 km/h, top speed, fuel use, gross weight, eco class, CO2, and wheel size are not measured for this generation.

2 generation (2009-06-01 – 2013-10-31). Sedan. 7 versions, all Gasoline, Inline 4, boost No. Named versions: 1.5 CVT (111 hp, FWD, Variable) twice, distinguished by 0–100 km/h 13 s / kerb 1230 kg versus 13.3 s / 1250 kg; 2.0 MT (139 hp, FWD, Manual, 5 gears); 2.0 AT (139 hp, FWD, Automatic, 5 gears); 2.0 AT (150 hp, FWD, Automatic, 5 gears); 2.0 AT (143 hp, AWD, Automatic, 4 gears) twice, distinguished by kerb 1410 kg versus 1420 kg (0–100 km/h 11.5 s on both). Ground clearance in this generation is 135 mm on both 1.5 CVT rows, 145 mm on both 2.0 AT 143 hp AWD rows, and 155 mm on the 139 hp and 150 hp FWD 2.0 rows. Tank, eco class, CO2, and wheel size are not measured.

3 generation (2013-11-01 – 2016-06-30) and 3 generation, restyling (2016-07-01 – 2019-05-31). One generation, two catalogue periods. Sedan in both. Pre-restyle: 11 versions. Restyling: 6 versions. Together they cover Gasoline 1.5 AT 120 hp (FWD and AWD), Gasoline 2.0 AT 150 hp (FWD and AWD), Hybrid 2.0 CVT 99 hp FWD (pre-restyle only), Diesel 2.2 MT 150 hp FWD, and Diesel 2.2 AT 150 hp FWD. Gearboxes: Automatic 6, Manual 6, Variable (gear count not measured on 2.0 CVT). Ground clearance 155 mm where measured. Tank 51 l. Gasoline rows are Euro 5; Diesel rows are Euro 6. Boost is No on Gasoline and Hybrid, Turbo on Diesel. Engine placement on the restyling rows is Front, transverse; on pre-restyle third-generation rows it is not measured.

Which version to choose

Compare only with numbers in this catalogue.

Lowest measured fuel use: 3 generation 2.2 MT at mixed 3.9 l/100 km (city 4.7, highway 3.5), 150 hp, 380 Nm, Manual 6, FWD, 8 s to 100 km/h, 213 km/h. The restyling 2.2 MT is the same 150 hp / 380 Nm recipe at mixed 4.1, 8.1 s, 210 km/h. 2.2 AT (both periods) trades the Manual for Automatic 6: 9.7 s, 201 km/h, mixed 4.8 — 1.6 s slower than restyling 2.2 MT 8.1 s, and 0.7 l/100 km more mixed than restyling 2.2 MT 4.1.

Gasoline automatic, third generation: 1.5 AT FWD 120 hp versus 2.0 AT FWD 150 hp. Power gap 30 hp; torque gap 60 Nm (210 − 150). Restyling FWD 2.0 AT is 11.7 − 9 = 2.7 s quicker to 100 km/h than restyling FWD 1.5 AT, and 186 km/h versus 210 km/h. Mixed use 5.8 versus 6.2. Kerb 1190 kg versus 1320 kg (130 kg). Both Automatic 6, FWD, fuel 95, Euro 5, tank 51 l, clearance 155 mm.

AWD in the third generation exists only as 1.5 AT 120 hp and 2.0 AT 150 hp, Automatic 6. For those AWD rows, 0–100, top speed, consumption, and kerb are not measured. Gross is 1835 kg. If AWD is required and those fields must be known, this dataset does not supply them; the measured 0–100 and mpg sit on the FWD twins.

Hybrid: only 2.0 CVT, 3 generation, 99 hp, 142 Nm, Variable, FWD, kerb 1390 kg. 0–100, top speed, and consumption are not measured. It is 150 − 99 = 51 hp below the Gasoline 2.0 AT 150 hp and 210 − 142 = 68 Nm below that engine’s torque.

Second generation if you need a Manual gasoline: 2.0 MT 139 hp, 9 s, 200 km/h, mixed 8.2 l/100 km — the only second-generation row with a full consumption set. 1.5 CVT 111 hp is slower (13 / 13.3 s) with top speed and mpg not measured. 2.0 AT 150 hp is 9.6 s with top speed and mpg not measured. AWD is 2.0 AT 143 hp, 11.5 s, 4 gears, kerb 1410 or 1420 kg.

First generation if you want the highest hp in the catalogue: 2.3 MT or 2.3 AT, 171 hp, 214 Nm, 2260 cc, FWD. 0–100, top speed, and mpg are not measured. 1.5 AT / 1.5 MT 114 hp are the lightest first-generation FWD pair (kerb 1190–1240 kg) with Drum rear brakes; 2.0 and 2.3 use Disc at the rear.

Problems and reliability. This dataset has no failure rates, recall lists, or service intervals. Those topics are not measured here. What is measured is the spec grid above: power, torque, mass, drive, gearbox, and — where filled — 0–100, top speed, and l/100 km.
