I don't know much about cars but that's crazy
Surely the 1.5 e-Skyactiv G MHEV Centre-Line 5dr for £16,709 is the better option with:-
0 to 62 mph (secs): 9.8
Engine Power - BHP: 90
or even other 1 litre or 1.2 litre engine cars will have the same amount of power as that.
“The Mazda2 offers three versions of a 1.5-litre petrol engine, producing 74bhp, 89bhp and 113bhp respectively. Impressively, the middle option promises up to 60.1mpg, with the 74bhp and 113bhp engines not far behind on 58.9mpg and 56.5mpg respectively. However, the absence of turbocharging means the power is only available at high revs, so you may struggle to reach those figures in real-world driving.”
Mazda’s approach to reliability and efficiency is preferable to me, larger capacity normally aspirated, low compression engine - versus small 1.0 turbo [e.g. ford] with high compression, less reliability and poorer fuel consumption in real world. Personally I would not want a 1 litre turbo, especially ford’s offering that fitted on an a4 piece of paper [to delight of marketing team].
The moment the turbo (on super low capacity, high compression engine], kicks in, evenly driving gently, the mpg drops - the 1.5 (normally aspirated) will likely be more efficient for most when trying to drive gently/medium pace.
The vag group 1.2 turbo was a peach (in a small Fabia/Ibiza) that could do 60mpg fairly easily, their 1.4/1.5 turbo (inc cod or act, Audi/VW) took a bit of effort to get good figures from, but could (with difficulty) do 70mpg door to door. [edit added - 1.4 cod 150bhp, averaged 44mpg for most drivers, most of the time. Getting over 50mpg took lot of effort]. (edited)
…versus, small capacity, turbo, high compression, more to go wrong, better at (cheating) official mpg tests but worse in real world.
WLTP - MPG - Comb: 58.9
WLTP - MPG - Extra High: 55.4
WLTP - MPG - High: 67.3
WLTP - MPG - Low: 48.7
WLTP - MPG - Medium: 61.4
Also it's £800 extra for the red one in the photo. (edited)
Some are problematic like Hyundai 1.6 turbo*, which Mrs has. Requires a thrash down the A3 to Portsmouth in 4th gear every ~6 months or £80 bill from Hyundai to do a force regen.
Don't know about this Mazda engine though.
*According to the forums it's a software problem that Hyundai know about (edited)
