AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/08 Report--

Whether with the development of the automobile era or the development of environmental awareness, more and more car companies gradually turn self-priming to the development of rotary turbine. Earlier, it was reported that the Mazda 3 would use a turbocharged engine model, which has also been confirmed recently.

According to foreign media reports, the Mazda 3 (domestically known as Onksera) will be equipped with a turbocharged engine and will match the four-wheel drive model. It is worth noting that the source is said to be relatively reliable because the website claims to come from the internal system of Mazda dealers.

According to sources, the Mazda brand will improve its Mazda 3 model, replace the self-priming engine with a turbocharged engine and adapt to the four-wheel drive system, which shows the "MAZDA3 HB PP TURBO" model, both hatchback and hatchback models.

Although it is mentioned in the report that the new model is expected to enter the market in 2021, and the website that released the news claimed: "it will be on the market soon, please look forward to it." But the details have not been fully disclosed. It is worth mentioning that the news of the model is only related to the North American market, while there has been no news in the Chinese market, which means that it is still a mystery whether it will be listed in the domestic market.

At present, there are only 1.5L and 2.0L naturally aspirated engines of Mazda 3 Uncsera models on sale in China. The maximum power is 117 horsepower and 158 horsepower respectively, and the peak torque is 148N m and 202N m. Although the power output is not as good as many models of the same level as Civic and Volkswagen, it still has a little favor with its excellent control system. If the Mazda's 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is replaced, the power and driving experience of the Mazda 3 will be greatly improved, and more consumers will choose the Mazda 3.

Of course, after the introduction of turbocharged engines in more and more models, some consumers will prefer self-priming engines, but this is also limited to some consumers. However, for the current market environment, car companies are also more likely to choose more content that consumers need.

However, at present, the Mazda brand has been positioned in the "niche" position in the domestic market because of its high price positioning. If the 2.5T engine is introduced into the Chinese market, the cost of Mazda 3 will increase again, so that its domestic competitiveness will also be intensified. After all, the current Mazda has not yet developed a small-displacement turbocharged engine.

Mazda brand does have a certain market position in the domestic market, and it has been capturing some consumers by focusing on the positioning of "technology control". However, under the increasing domestic competition in the stock market, and for various reasons, the Mazda brand does not have a high performance-to-price ratio, so that it is far smaller than other Japanese brands in the domestic market. Therefore, in the current situation, whether Mazda introduced 2.5T engine Mazda 3, the effect will not be very obvious.
