Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 165

The Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 165 reaches 60 mph in 7.41 s (100 km/h in 7.84 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.84 s, tripping the lights at 88.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 s and the eighth mile in 10.28 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 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 165

The 2016 Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 165 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,392 kg with 162 bhp, which works out at 117 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.57 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 5,371st quickest to 60 mph, and the 40th quickest of the 201 Mazdas here. Its 88.5 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 165 0-60 time?
The Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 165 reaches 60 mph in 7.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,371st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 165 quarter mile time?
15.84 s at 88.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.28 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 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 165 have?
162 bhp and 1,392 kg, which is 117 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 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 165?
Closest here on pace: VW Passat 1.8 TSI 170 Auto (7.38 s), Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY 184 (7.38 s), Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 (7.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 165 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 165 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.
