\u2022\tFuel consumption 0.1 litre less than anticipated
\n\u2022\tAs measured using new stricter EcoTest test criteria
\n\u2022\tFuel consumption and emissions measurements closer to real-world results<\/p>\n
Leverkusen, 16 March 2012. Mazda3 achieved a striking result on the latest EcoTest from the German Automobile Club (ADAC). A Mazda3 1.6-litre petrol with 77 kW\/105 PS was the only car of the eight tested models to use less fuel than the official average published by the manufacturer. Instead of a fuel-consumption average (on the New European Driving Cycle) of 6.4 litres as given by Mazda, ADAC experts measured the Mazda3 1.6-litre on their new and stricter EcoTest at just 6.3 litres per 100\/km. All other tested models \u2013 including vehicles with petrol, diesel and electric powertrains \u2013 were at times far above their officially published average for fuel consumption.<\/p>\n
Germany\u2019s ADAC EcoTest now measures fuel consumption, CO2 and toxic emissions using new and stricter criteria. These now include NEFC measurements, a test using the world cycle or WLTP, and the Autobahn driving cycle test from ADAC itself. The latter fuel-consumption test includes driving at Autobahn speeds of 130 km\/h and full-throttle acceleration. In addition, all three cycles are measured with low-beam headlights on, and on the world and Autobahn test with the air conditioning on.<\/p>\n
