Engines Mazda familia, familia s wagon

Mazda familia is a series of cars produced from 1963 to the present. For a long time, these brands were considered the best series of all cars produced by Mazda.

Mazda surname came off the assembly line and with the joint efforts of Mazda and Ford companies - for example, the well-known brand Laster was produced for several years.

The evolution of Mazda cars includes several generations of car production. The first generation was released in September 1963 - one of the first cars available to the buyer was a two-door modification of the Mazda Familia wagon. This model was not entirely practical and did not meet all the requirements of buyers of that time.

Literally with short breaks over the course of several years, the first generation of cars was improved and modernized - four-door sednas, station wagons and coupes became available to motorists.

Since 1968, the next generation has been represented by five-door station wagons. For several decades, Mazda has released nine generations of cars with a variety of equipment.

Among the many models in Russia, the most popular are:

• mazda family s wagon;
• Mazda Familia sedan.

During the production of the Mazda surname wagon and sedan in 2000, restyling was introduced - structural changes to some elements of the body and interior. The changes affected the interior trim, front and rear lights, as well as the bumper.

The main characteristics of the mazda familia models:

1. Number of seats with driver - 5.
2. Depending on the configuration, the models are equipped with front- or all-wheel drive. As a rule, fans of city driving tend to front-wheel drive, which is justified by saving fuel consumption and ease of maintenance of the chassis.
3. Ground clearance is the height from the ground to the lowest point of the vehicle. The clearance of the Mazda surname lineup varies depending on the drive - from 135 to 170 cm. On average - 145-155 cm.
4. All types of gearboxes are installed on the models - mechanical (MT), automatic (AT) and variator. On the Mazda Familia s wagon, there are only two options to choose from - automatic or manual transmission. As you know, the MCP is unpretentious in maintenance and residually durable. Automatic transmission has a smaller resource, will cost the owner a higher price tag, but is more comfortable in traffic jams. The variator is the most economical option, but the most unreliable in terms of design. Here, Mazda engineers provide motorists with a great choice.
5. The volume of the fuel tank varies from 40 to 70 liters - the minimum volumes correspond to small cars with a small engine size.
6. Fuel consumption largely depends on individual driving habits. On small cars, consumption starts from 3,7 liters per 100 km. On front-wheel drive cars with an average engine capacity, this figure varies from 6 to 8 liters, and on all-wheel drive cars with an engine capacity of about two liters, from 8 to 9,6 liters per 100 kilometers.

Most popular engine brands

During the production of cars, each generation was equipped with a variety of internal combustion engines (ICE) - from subcompact to diesel two-liter. Over time, the perfection of internal combustion engines, as well as components and assemblies, went on, already in the 80s, engines with a turbine began to appear in some models, which added power and put these cars out of all competition compared to their classmates. The most popular engines installed on cars of the ninth and tenth generations.

Which engine is better to choose a car

In choosing a car, the characteristics of the motor play a key role. There is no single answer that could satisfy most car owners. The manufacturer tries to adapt to the consumer and launches on the market those cars that best satisfy the needs of the majority.

When choosing the heart of a car, the following points are key:

1. Engine efficiency - with the constant rise in gasoline prices, small cars are becoming the most popular. The modern consumer is becoming smarter, low fuel consumption is a defining moment in choosing a car.
2. Power - no matter how we try to keep up with efficiency, the number of horses under the hood is still very important. And this desire is quite natural - not everyone wants to drag a truck along the highway, and when overtaking, mentally “push” their iron horse.

We should not disregard the fact that scientific progress does not stand still. Even today, car manufacturers offer us a unique solution - economical engines with minimal power loss. The most relevant are cars with the following engines:

1. HR15DE - judging by the reviews of car owners with this engine, if you don’t “play around” with the gas pedal, you can significantly save on fuel, and power is more than 100 hp. will allow you to feel confident on the track even with the air conditioning on.
2. ZL-DE - this power unit also falls under our "gold standard" rule. Relatively high efficiency is combined with adequate power indicators.
3. QG18DEN - gas engine will allow you to significantly save on fuel. If you have no problems with gas stations, purchasing a car with this engine will be a great solution.
4. FS-ZE - for fans of a powerful ride, this option will be the best. The maximum consumption is 10,7 liters per 100 km. But with such power, most of the "classmates" consume much more fuel.
