When it comes to the joint venture A-class family sedan, the next-generation MAZDA 3 Axela (hereinafter referred to as the Axela) that takes into account both sports and family use is easy to ignore. Compared with "two fields and one production", Mazda does rarely make publicity, but the reputation of "human-horse integration", "Toei BMW", "rotor engine" and so on has already resounded throughout the entire automobile circle, and consumers who have driven Mazda models are absolutely likely to be circled.
Since its birth in 2003, the cumulative sales of Anxella in the world have exceeded 6 million units, and it has nearly 1.2 million users in the domestic market, especially last year, the cumulative sales volume reached 88774 units, accounting for 66.66% of the share of the Changan Mazda family. Onxella reliability, good stability, high fuel economy, first-class handling and other evaluations have become the consensus of all car owners.
These data and word of mouth are proving that good cars will not be buried, and Axela is really not to be underestimated.
The appearance that should not be underestimated is long in the aesthetic point of consumers
At present, it is definitely the era of "beauty is justice", from buying a water cup to buying a car, the first problem consumers consider is to look good. Mazda does not have an ugly car, many users commented that like Mazda is first of all "starting from the value of appearance".
The design of each Mazda car is derived from the brand's soul concept, which is different from the stacking style of many brands now, pursuing the simplification of complexity, a plain and simple "profile" plus color aesthetics, showing a sense of power and beauty of light and shadow.
Onxella is based on the "Soul Movement 2.0" design concept to create, with enough eye-catching high-value body shape, with crystal soul red as the main color of the car paint, directly hit the user's heart, become a mobile symbol that highlights their own personality.
For example, the front face of Axela, the matrix grille with the "Wings of the Soul" chrome trim and LED near and far light integrated headlights, so that the entire front face is stylish, atmospheric, and recognizable.
Coupled with the low flat ratio tires, the elegant and flexible sides shaped by the shape instead of the line, the upturned ducktail tail and the stylish round LED taillights, the Onxella presents a unique visual effect that distinguishes it from its peers such as Xuanyi, Langyi and Civic.
The cockpit that should not be underestimated, simple and exquisite travel is more comfortable
Of course, both inside and outside is the real high-end beauty, and the cockpit for consumers, the contact time is the longest, its design is beautiful or not, comfortable good or bad, the operation of each component is convenient or not, etc., all directly affect the consumer's mood.
The cockpit layout of Axelas is a symmetrical design centered on the driver, such as the symmetrical cockpit air conditioning outlet, the lines on the door panel and the symmetrical echo of the center console shape, this design that highlights the presence of the cockpit is to allow the driver's attention to focus on the front and improve the sense of unity with the car.
The interior of Axela pursues a simple style, but unlike the simple style of Langyi and Xuanyi, it can be described as sufficient cost in workmanship and materials. The medium and high-end models of Onxella are almost all soft materials with excellent touch where they are reached, and the wrinkles and wrinkles are specially developed and designed by Mazda designers and Japanese leather craftsmen, so whether it is visual or tactile, it brings a higher level of interior quality.
Onxella has a lot of physical buttons, which is very convenient to operate, and whether it is pressed, pulled, tapped or turned every knob or button of Axela, you can experience a delicate and textured feel.
Of course, tranquility is also a highlight of Thexella's entire cockpit, through the body vibration damping resin module process, the unique "double wall" structure and the optimization of the tire longitudinal spring flexibility three-pronged approach, so that The Axela has a quiet space comparable to luxury cars.
In terms of space performance, the length, width and height of Thexella are 4662/1797/1445mm, the wheelbase has reached 2726mm, the body size is ahead of Xuanyi, Corolla and other competitors, the front and rear space are very spacious, and at the same time have excellent load capacity.
In terms of intelligent configuration, Onksela offers Mazda Yuelian systems that can be used safely and intuitively, adapting to a wide range of components and media. In addition, there are optional configurations such as remote start, remote temperature control, automatic car search, voice control, and wireless charging, bringing users a high-tech car lifestyle.
It can be said that on this intermediate sedan, you can experience the sense of leapfrogging and high-grade everywhere, which is not available in the same class of cars such as Xuanyi, Langyi and Civic.
Performance that should not be underestimated, the ultimate fun of human-horse integration
The highest realm of the imperial sword in martial arts is that it can achieve the unity of human swords and be invincible. The best expression to describe the handling of the vehicle is to be able to "communicate with the driver's heart", understand what the driver thinks, and do what the driver wants to do.
The handling involves all aspects of the vehicle, in addition to the power, steering system, chassis that everyone often says, it also includes the weight of the car, the sitting posture design, the tire grip, etc., which can be said to best consider the comprehensive technical strength of the car factory.
Onxella is the application of Mazda's new generation of Chuang chi Blue Sky vehicle construction technology, from the beginning of research and development of the body structure, engine, transmission, chassis suspension and cockpit layout as a whole to create, so that the "centaur and horse" driving pleasure and vehicle safety to a higher level.
In terms of power, Onxella adopts Chuangchi Blue SkyACTIV-G high compression ratio in-cylinder direct injection engine, 13:1 high compression ratio can improve fuel economy by 15%, torque in the low and medium speed domain by 15%, and the transmission system matches the full speed domain locked Chuangchi Blue Sky 6-speed manual automatic integrated gearbox, which can reduce fuel consumption by 4-7%. This golden power combination brings surging power while also creating lower fuel costs.
On the chassis, Onxella applied Mazda's patented "SEB Butterfly Bionic Rear Suspension", the unique structure of this suspension perfectly fits the force conduction characteristics of the body, and the butterfly wing-shaped variable-section three-dimensional structure tightens the central pipe diameter, thereby improving the toughness of the suspension beam and bringing higher handling performance.
It is worth saying that due to the unique butterfly shape of the torsion beam design in the suspension, the extremely high requirements for materials and processing have led to the high cost procurement method of all imported parts for this rear suspension so far.
GVC PLUS acceleration vector control system monitors the driver's steering movements in real time, calculates the appropriate amount of center of gravity movement, and sends control commands to the engine. When driving into the corner, through the micro-control of the engine torque, optimize the front wheel load, improve the front wheel grip and steering responsiveness; when driving out of the corner, optimize the rear wheel load, improve the rear wheel grip and driving stability at the same time, suppress oversteering, and further improve the vehicle controllability.
Driving an Axela, pointing accurately, flexibly controlled, just like the driver is running with his own feet, forgetting the existence of the car, easily reaching the realm of "human and horse integration", truly making the car move at will, so that you are full of confidence.
Of course, while providing extreme performance control, Onksela is also equipped with a wealth of active safety configurations, such as 360-degree panoramic image parking assistance system, MRCC full-speed domain adaptive cruise system, FCTA front lateral vehicle warning system and other functions, coupled with the standard 7 airbags, ultra-high-strength steel body and other passive safety configurations, fully protect the travel safety of drivers and passengers.
Not to be underestimated, the strength has repeatedly won the industry's blockbuster awards
For automobiles, being recognized by industry authorities and consumers is the best military medal. Since its domestic listing in September 2019, Onksela has won many industry blockbuster awards.
For example, he has won the three trophies of "2020 World Design Car", "2020 World Car" and "2020 China Car of the Year", and has achieved 6 "G-level excellent evaluations" in the "2020 C-IASI Safety Crash Test".
In addition, Anksela also won the honor of "China's Top Ten Body bodies in 2021" for its body structure design of "lightweight, ultra-high rigidity, and carrying the beauty of soul movement", which added strength footnote to Mazda's new generation of Chuang chi blue sky vehicle construction technology.
Repeated victories in a series of vehicle cross-sectional evaluations show the industry's recognition of Axelas in design and quality, and of course, it also highlights Mazda's profound technical heritage.
Write at the end:
Among all the joint venture A-class family cars, The Axela can be said to be the most unburdened model, and perhaps it is underestimated by many people because of this, but its outstanding appearance, extreme control and excellent quality can indeed bring users a more unique car experience and become the most important force in Mazda's product line.
So if you want the ultimate pleasure of handling and don't want to go with the flow, the relatively niche but beautiful, textured and safe next-generation MAZDA 3 Axela will not disappoint you.
