Recently, some netizens have privately sent a private message to buy and buy Jun, asking "Is the budget of about 150,000 yuan to buy the latest Honda type or to buy Mazda 3 Axela?" Mainly looking at the two models have a certain sports gene, but the next door Mazda 3 Onksela value online, interior design also has a certain sense of refinement, the two are very entangled. ”
Indeed, there are not many models with certain sports genes at the price of 150,000, and the above two models are representative of them. The two are very similar in price and handling, so who is more worth buying?
First of all, starting from the appearance, the appearance design of the Honda style is actually very similar to the new generation of Honda Civic, and it no longer has the sharp angular design of the past. The whole body does not have too many messy line design, simple, rounded and more affinity, quite a bit of the charm of the small Accord, and has become more mature. However, the low and flat front of the car visually gives people a feeling of low center of gravity, creating a sporty atmosphere.
The exterior design of Mazda3 Onxella is more extreme, thanks to the Mazda KODO soul design, there is no excessive line design on the whole body, which is very simple. The soft concave design is alternating with light and shadow, and the rhythm is more intense, which is more delicate and moving.
Entering the interior, people were moved to tears that Honda's original moderate interior design has finally been improved, becoming more atmospheric, simple and homely. It is worth mentioning that its interior materials have also been well improved, the material of the soft package has become more, and the texture of the knob has also been significantly improved. And also equipped with a full LCD dashboard and a 9-inch central control screen, the sense of science and technology has also been improved to a certain extent, full of sincerity.
Similarly, the interior design of the Mazda3 Axela is also very simple, even the central control screen is designed to be so slender and petite, of course, many people complain about it. But fortunately, it is also very willing to use materials, and there are many places wrapped in leather materials, which will give people the illusion of petty bourgeoisie to some extent.
In terms of power, the Honda model is equipped with a 1.5T high-power engine with a maximum horsepower of 182Ps and a peak torque of 240N·m, which is matched by a 6MT/CVT gearbox. For Honda's 1.5T engine, I believe that everyone will not be too familiar with it. The combination of performance and fuel economy, as well as strong retrofit potential, is a BUG-like presence.
The Mazda3 Iconocella has three powertrains for consumers to choose from, namely 1.5L, 2.0L and 2.0L compression-ignition versions for consumers to choose from.
1.5L engine: maximum horsepower of 117Ps, peak torque of 148N·m, matching 6MT/6AT gearbox;
2.0L engine: maximum horsepower of 158Ps, peak torque of 202N·m, matching 6AT gearbox;
2.0L compression-ignition engine: maximum horsepower of 180Ps, peak torque of 230N·m, matched with a 6AT gearbox.
After all, it is a NA machine, which is not too prominent in terms of performance, but the 6AT gearbox that is better than Mazda is smart enough to get a certain driving pleasure.
If it is based on a budget of 150,000 yuan, what can be bought is the entry version of the Honda type (2022 model 240TURBO manual exclusive version), while the Mazda 3 Onksela can buy the 2.0L entry version (2021 2.0L automatic quality version).
Through the comparison of the configuration table, the configuration difference between the two is not large, but the overall Honda type will be slightly richer. For example, there are more configurations such as passive pedestrian protection, fatigue driving reminder, driving mode switching, variable steering ratio, electric sunroof, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, steering assist lights, automatic air conditioning, temperature zone control, PM2.5 filtering device and so on.
At this price point, if it is purely about configuration, it is bound to be more recommended to choose the Honda type. Although the configuration is not particularly rich, it is enough to cope with daily household needs. In contrast, the Honda model configuration is also better than the Mazda 3 Axela, and it is equipped with a 6MT gearbox, which will have a stronger sense of participation and multiply driving pleasure.
But! If you are "allergic" to manual transmission or only consider automatic transmission, then the Honda-type 6MT will become its short board, and the Mazda 3 Axela will be your preferred choice!
However, in response to the situation of this netizen, if 150,000 yuan insists on choosing the Honda type, it may have a hundred million points of difficulty. First of all, you have to not exclude manual users, this is only the entry condition! Most importantly, there must be enough patience to wait, after all, the output of the manual transmission itself is not large, so the scheduling cycle will be relatively long.
But if it is a compromise to consider buying a Mazda 3 Axela, the first step is to go to the 4s store to test drive, whether its power is in line with their own psychological assumptions; secondly, they need to experience the space in the back row, if you need to take care of the family, then you have to see if you can accept its narrow rear space.
