Business and Finance Analysis

The most characteristic feature of this version is undoubtedly the engine change, something more refined and better feeling with the car than the previous 1.6 CRTD 109 hp.

Slight improvements

f06 The new engine incorporates a new turbo and uses a single camshaft instead of two as before. They have won 6 hp over the old engine and the maximum value is achieved at 3,600 rpm, 400 laps under the old 1.6. Maximum torque is also improved, going to be 270 Nm (30 more than before) that remain constant between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm.

It is an engine that complies with Euro V emissions and, thanks to various tweaks to the exhaust gas recirculation, achieves the optimum operating temperature fast enough. To find that this temperature is reached we will have to look at the instrument panel and notice that the witness has gone blue in temperature, something impractical because we have no information on the exact temperature of the engine by not having temperature clock .

Motor provided

f18 The engine carries the Mazda 3 1.6 CRTD is none other than the same are many models of PSA and cars like the new Ford Focus. It is a highly versatile engine that holds its own in virtually all of its regime of use and if it is accompanied by a gearbox 6-speed as well take the Mazda 3, achieves a very good pairing.

The development of specific engine from Mazda and have managed to extract 115 hp, 3 hp more than the achievements of PSA. As access engine range is good because it is able to move reasonably Mazda 3. That is no doubt that with the 2.2 engine is the Mazda 3 price of luxury but it is interesting for those who do not seek performance above everything.

The engine should always take it above 1,800 rpm for below their response is almost nil. This will have to bear this in mind when recovering under the scheme or make a change gears for the engine does not stay below 1,800 rpm as the car was almost dead. To this is added the fact that we have almost a second of turbo response time (turbo lag), something incomprehensible considering that carries a variable geometry turbo.

Once over that regime, the engine responds quite well and linearly. Although you can turn up more than we need to change up a gear from 4,400 rpm.

The accelerator is shown quite sensitive in the first part, which causes some hitches if not accelerate much.

Gearbox 6-speed

f14 Much of the blame for the performance shows the Mazda 3 1.6 CRTD the gearbox has a 6-speed, which has some very well chosen developments that favor the performance and not penalize consumption. It’s nice to see the good that has pulling power for power, even so in 6th.

Regarding the Mazda 5 with the same engine we have seen that developments are slightly longer but in no case we will find relationships to encourage consumption overdrive. Even without them achieve consumption figures quite acceptable.
