Mazda 121 Engines and Transmissions

Every Mazda 121 engine in this generation runs on gasoline, using small four-cylinder units tuned for low-speed flexibility rather than outright pace. The powertrain sends drive to the front wheels, and the transmission choice, manual or automatic, mainly shapes how relaxed the car feels in traffic.
