The smaller engine is livelier
And lightweight construction remains trumps: With its 115 hp from 1.5 liter displacement, the little one looks wide awake, accelerates to 100 km/h in 9.1 seconds. And dances so carefree and jagged through town and country that the driver often smiles at the lips flits. Consumption is moderate at 5.9 liters, and a mild hybrid has recently helped.
Concept question: The Mazda2 gets 115 hp from a 1.5 liter displacement, the Mazda3 draws its 122 hp from a two liter displacement.
The Mazda2 drives away from the Mazda3. That’s a shame, because the chassis of the big one has potential for more power.
There is more to the Mazda3 chassis
We can only complain about the long gear ratio, which subjectively paralyzes the threesome. Too bad, the agile chassis and the feedback-friendly steering would even do with significantly more power. Consumption of seven liters is clear, and a small electric motor also helps here to save.

In the end, the small comes too close to the big in terms of price to knock him off the throne. The 115 hp engine in the two is only available as an expensive Sports Line (from 23,390 euros). For 25,890 euros in the base, the three simply offers more car for the money.
