Mazda 3 2016 vs Toyota Auris 2015
| Comparing electrical vehicle (EV) with combustion engine (ICE) one is a complex task, but we are doing our best. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 2.2 Diesel | 1.8 Hybrid | |
| Diesel (Mazda 3) engines offer better fuel efficiency on highways and deliver high torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy-duty use. Hybrid (Toyota Auris) engines, however, are more fuel efficient in city traffic and produce lower emissions, especially during low-speed or stop-and-go conditions. | |||

| Ground clearance: | 155 mm (6.1 inches) | 140 mm (5.5 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Mazda 3 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Mazda 3 version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 420'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Toyota Auris engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 13 years | 17 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Mazda 6, Mazda CX-5 | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Toyota Corolla, Toyota C-HR, Lexus CT | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Auris might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
