As we all know, in recent years, Honda, Toyota, Nissan led by The Japanese car is more and more popular with the people, compared with the German, American, Japanese car quality is relatively stable, less small problems, and more fuel-efficient, the later retention rate is also higher. However, not all Japanese brands can be recognized by consumers, such as Mitsubishi early production of Wing God, only a few old SUV is still struggling to support, "king of the car" Suzuki has withdrawn from the domestic market, and our protagonist Mazda today, there is only one "trump card" left in his hand, that is, Unxella.
Friends who know the car know that Mazda has been declining in recent years, compared with other brands, Mazda's models have always been the main sport control, whether it is Axela, Artez or CX-4, CX-5 have a relatively strong driving pleasure, so it is also known as "Dongying BMW", plus the "soul" design language is indeed very stunning when it was first launched, so that many young people are moved by it. However, after several years of development, Honda, Toyota, and Nissan have all begun to take the young and athletic route, while Mazda has not changed, so that its advantages no longer exist, and sales have been hit.
Of all the models mazda currently sells, only the Axela sells well, and in January 2022, the car sold 13,157 units a month, which is even better than the Corolla. The current guide price of The Axela is 11.59-18.99 million yuan, in the same price point, the more family models are Toyota Corolla, Leiling, Nissan Xuanyi, Volkswagen Langyi, Bora, more sports models are Honda Civic, Type, Volkswagen Golf, Sagitar, Geely Xingrui, Lynk & Co 03, etc., which shows that the 10-150,000-level compact car market competition is very fierce, so why can The Axelas always stand?
From the appearance point of view, the latest Anksela front face still adopts the Mazda family's soul design language, the large mouth grille with chrome strips, the headlight group with lens structure, while the standard LED light source, narrow and long shape looks very sharp. From the side, the overall line is smooth and stretched, the transition from the C-pillar to the rear of the car is very natural, with the small tail wing upturned, creating the feeling of a coupe, and the gun gray rim is also very sporty. In the rear part of the car, the tail light shape and the headlights echo each other, and the blackening treatment is done, and the bottom has a double-row single exhaust pipe, which further enhances the overall sports atmosphere.
Come to the car, personally prefer Mazda this simple style, the whole interior uses asymmetrical design, the dashboard is the traditional mechanical pointer instrument + 7-inch LCD screen, the suspension central control screen looks small, but in fact there are 8.8 inches, the following is the air conditioning control area, the front of the gear with two cup holders and a storage compartment for the mobile phone, all the design is more reasonable, and the car uses a lot of soft plastic materials, but also worth its price. In terms of configuration, this car is equipped with 8 airbags as standard, as well as reversing radar, reversing image, keyless start, multi-function steering wheel are also standard in the whole series, and the car machine supports CarPlay and CarLife mobile phone interconnection, which is convenient enough to use.
Space has always been Mazda's short board, Unxella is no exception, although its wheelbase is 2726mm, larger than the Corolla, but the actual rear performance can only be said to be general, in order to improve the handling ability of the vehicle, Mazda will be relatively long, the cockpit position is behind, in order to achieve the front and rear counterweights close to 50:50, but this will undoubtedly compress the ride space, so compared with Xuanyi, Corolla and other peer opponents, Mazda does not have any advantage in terms of space, This is also its biggest shortcoming. In addition, Mazda's models, whether it is Unxella or Artez, the suspension shock absorption is also hard, and the comfort is not good enough, which is also related to its sport tuning.
In terms of power, the latest Unxella provides 3 sets of powertrains, in addition to the more familiar 1.5L and 2.0L power versions, there is also a 2.0L compression version, the maximum power of 180 horsepower, but considering its price of 189,900, this car will obviously rarely be bought, most consumers will still choose 1.5L and 2.0L ordinary version of the model, the transmission part in addition to the minimum matching 6-speed manual transmission, the rest are matched with 6AT gearbox. The reason why Mazda is called "Toei BMW", its powertrain plays a very key role, especially this 6AT gearbox tuning is very heeled, it is easy to understand the driver's intentions, let people experience the fun of human-horse integration in driving.
The above is about the Mazda 3 Axela some of the advantages and disadvantages of the introduction, in general, it is a more suitable for young people model, good looking, easy to open, fuel saving, if not particularly concerned about the space, personal or more recommended, do not know what you think about this car?
