On sale Mazda 3 2.0 liters Automatic Premium Edition
As we all know, the current domestic sales are the fourth generation of Mazda 3 Axela, and only provide a sedan version, and a more sporty hatchback version has not been introduced into the country in this generation. Recently, according to overseas media reports, Mazda submitted a design document for a two-door hatchback at the European Patent Office, which is believed to be a mazda 3 Coupe double-door version. There is no exact information about when the car will be available.

Foreign media according to the patent map to draw a "hypothetical map" of the new car, which shows that the new car in the continuation of the sale of Mazda 3 hatchback version on the basis of the change to a two-door design, so that the door area is larger, combined with the patent diagram, the car is even expected to use "frameless doors", which is also a common setting of Coupe models, further highlighting the overall sense of movement of the vehicle. However, hatchback models are already very unpopular in the domestic market, and the more niche two-door version is still not expected to enter the Chinese market, but this does not affect the user's appreciation of this model.
Currently available mazda 3 2.0 liters automatic premium version
In the domestic market, Mazda 3 Axela offers 1.5-liter, 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engines and 2.0-liter X-combusted engines, of which the 1.5-liter engine has a maximum power of 86 kW and a maximum torque of 148 Nm, the 2.0-liter engine has a maximum power of 116 kW and a maximum torque of 202 Nm, and the 2.0-liter pressure-fired engine has a maximum power of 132 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, and the transmission system is matched with a 6AT manual automatic transmission.

New car background, competitive product analysis:
Honda Civic
GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard
From the sales volume of the past year, Mazda 3 Axela sold 88773 vehicles in China, the market performance is relatively stable, although not as hot as the Honda Civic, but slightly ahead of Lynk & Co 03, Volkswagen Golf, far more than Ford Focus, basically reached Mazda's expectations, independent brand of shadow leopard heat is higher, but the listing is still less than 1 year, not included in the horizontal comparison.
Judging from the "big market" data of this level of models, the sports-style family car is still not as good as the sales volume of the space-saving, fuel-saving and comfortable home car, showing the market situation of the sports car "applauding but not calling". Mazda's application for a patent for a two-door hatchback model is expected to still cause a lot of public opinion, but it should have little impact on its future sales data.
