Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110

The Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 reaches 60 mph in 10.24 s (100 km/h in 10.88 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.63 s, tripping the lights at 78.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.79 s and the eighth mile in 11.32 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110

The 2004 Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,260 kg with 107 bhp, which works out at 85 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.79 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,539th quickest to 60 mph, and the 136th quickest of the 201 Mazdas here. Its 78.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 0-60 time?
The Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 reaches 60 mph in 10.24 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,539th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 quarter mile time?
17.63 s at 78.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.32 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.79 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 have?
107 bhp and 1,260 kg, which is 85 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110?
Closest here on pace: Holden Vectra 1.8 122 (10.23 s), Lancia Lybra Sedan 1.9 JTD 105 (10.24 s), MG ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2001) (10.26 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
