About the 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120
The 2016 Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120 (2016) is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,364 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 87 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 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 9,072nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 99th quickest of the 201 Mazdas here. Its 81.2 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.

Questions
What is the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120 (2016) 0-60 time?
The Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120 (2016) reaches 60 mph in 9.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,072nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120 (2016) quarter mile time?
17.13 s at 81.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.06 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120 (2016) have?
118 bhp and 1,364 kg, which is 87 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120 (2016)?
Closest here on pace: Renault Vel Satis 2.2 dCi 150 (9.39 s), Jaguar XF (X250) 2.2D 163 (9.43 s), BMW 3 Series (F30) 316d 116 (9.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120 (2016) 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 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 120 (2016) 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.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
