Mazda Axela Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2009–2013) — Second Generation
The second generation Mazda Axela is a compact family car offered as a sedan or five-door hatchback, blending everyday practicality with the sharper steering and responsive feel Mazda builds into its cars.
Gasoline engines dominate this generation, and the Mazda Axela engine range spans economical to livelier options. A 1.5 CVT sedan keeps fuel use low with smooth, stepless shifting, while 2.0 versions add muscle: the 2.0 AT pairs an automatic with all-wheel drive for grip, and the 2.0 MT keeps front-wheel drive with a manual.
