Engine specs

Every version below uses the catalogue name exactly. Same names are split by horsepower (and, where horsepower matches, by gears or drive). Fuel, cylinders, layout, boost, gearbox, and drive use the English labels from the data.

Peak power in the table is 135 hp on 1.9 MT / 1.9 AT (7 generation) and 1.9 MT (8 generation). Peak listed torque excluding the 1st-generation 590 Nm figure is 173 Nm on 9th-generation 1.8 AT. The only Variable gearbox is 9th-generation 1.5 CVT. The only LPG version is restyled 8th-generation 1.8 AT 105 hp.

Performance, mpg, 0–100

City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured on all 73 versions. CO2 and eco class are not measured on all 73.

Measured 0–100 km/h and top speed appear only on 8th-generation (pre-restyle) Sedan versions:

• 1.5 MT 110 hp AWD: 13 s, 170 km/h
• 1.5 AT 110 hp FWD: 13.4 s, 170 km/h
• 1.6 MT 98 hp: 13 s, 182 km/h
• 1.6 AT 98 hp: 13.2 s, 182 km/h
• 1.8 MT 125 hp: 11.1 s, 182 km/h
• 1.8 AT 125 hp: 11.3 s, 182 km/h

The 1.8 MT 125 hp is 2.3 s quicker to 100 km/h than the 1.5 MT 110 hp AWD (13 − 11.1). The Automatic 1.8 is 0.2 s slower than the Manual 1.8. Top speed 115 km/h is measured on both 1st-generation 0.8 MT and 0.8 AT. On every other version, 0–100 and top speed are not measured.

Dimensions, weight, tank, ground clearance

Wheel sizes are not measured on all versions.

Tanks that are measured: 45 L (5 generation), 50 L (6 generation first group, 7 generation, 8 restyling), 55 L (8 generation pre-restyle), 60 L (6 generation later 1.3/1.5 at 76/91 hp), 41 L (9 generation). Generations 1–4: tank not measured.

Ground clearance, where measured: 135 mm (9th-gen 1.2 AT and 1.5 CVT), 140 mm (several 7th- and 8th-gen FWD rows), 145 mm (8 restyling; 9th-gen 1.6 AT), 150 mm (several 7th- and 9th-gen rows; 6th-gen later group), 155 mm (6th-gen first group; several 8th-gen 1.5/1.6/1.8). Otherwise not measured.

Kerb weight, where measured, spans 850 kg (5th-gen 1.3 MT 74 hp 4-speed and 1.3 MT 67 hp 4-speed) to 1323 kg (7th-gen 1.3 MT 85 hp 110 Nm, 1.5 MT 97 hp, and 1.9 MT 135 hp as recorded) and 1270 kg (9th-gen 1.6 AT AWD). 9th-gen FWD kerbs are 1120–1170 kg; the 1.6 AT AWD is 130 kg heavier than 1.2 AT (1270 − 1120). Gross weight, where measured, runs from 1170 kg (8th-gen 1.9 MT) to 1785 kg (restyled 1.8 AT 120 hp AWD). Many 6th- and 7th-gen kerb/gross figures are not measured.

Problems, reliability

This catalogue does not record fault rates, recall counts, or reliability scores for the Mazda Familia. Those values are not measured here; they are not omitted because the model has no such parameters.

Which version to choose

Numbers only, no prices.

If the need is an estate with a measured automatic and AWD, 9th-generation 1.6 AT is the only 9th-gen AWD: 109 hp, 150 Nm, 1597 cm³, kerb 1270 kg, gross 1760 kg, clearance 145 mm, tank 41 L. The FWD 1.5 AT at the same 109 hp is 130 kg lighter at the kerb (1140 kg) and has 148 Nm and 150 mm clearance. 1.5 CVT adds 2 hp (111 vs 109) at the same 148 Nm and 1140 kg, with clearance 135 mm like 1.2 AT. 1.8 AT is the 9th-gen power and torque peak: 124 hp, 173 Nm, 25 hp above 1.2 AT (90 hp).

If the need is a sedan with a measured sprint, 8th-generation 1.8 MT 125 hp is the fastest 0–100 in the file at 11.1 s; 1.8 AT 125 hp is 11.3 s. Both top out at 182 km/h, matching 1.6 MT/1.6 AT 98 hp, which take 13 / 13.2 s. 1.5 AT 130 hp is the strongest pre-restyle 1.5 by 20 hp over the 110 hp 1.5 rows; 0–100 on that 130 hp row is not measured.

If the need is AWD in the restyled 8th generation, choose among 1.8 AT/1.8 MT at 120 hp or 122 hp. The 122 hp rows make 165 Nm, 4 Nm above the 120 hp rows (161 Nm). The LPG 1.8 AT 105 hp is FWD, 15 hp below the 120 hp Gasoline 1.8 AT, kerb 1190 kg vs 1260 kg (70 kg lighter).

If the need is the only turbo: 5th-generation 1.5 MT 100 hp Turbo, 149 Nm, kerb 950 kg, 50 kg heavier than 1.5 MT 85 hp (900 kg) and 30 kg heavier than 1.5 MT 95 hp (920 kg).

If the need is light kerb: 5th-generation 1.3 MT at 850 kg. If the need is RWD coupe: generations 1–3. If the need is RWD estate: 4th-generation 1.3 MT or 1.3 AT, both 104 hp, performance not measured. If the need is Mini 5-doors: 7th generation; the 1.9 MT/1.9 AT 135 hp pair is that body’s power peak.

Manual vs automatic on matched engines: restyled 1.3 MT 87 hp kerb 1090 kg vs 1.3 AT 87 hp 1120 kg (30 kg); restyled 1.8 MT 120 hp 1240 kg vs 1.8 AT 120 hp 1260 kg (20 kg). 9th generation has no Manual in this list.
