The Mazda Axela is a compact hatchback and saloon, also sold as the Mazda3, for families and commuters. Most on Kenyan roads have the 1500cc petrol engine with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. Others have the 2000cc petrol, which uses a little more fuel, or the 2000cc hybrid saloon, which uses much less. With the 1500cc it uses about the same fuel as a Toyota Fielder with the same size engine. Expect about 14.7 km/L, or KSh 15.45 per km at today's Nairobi petrol price.
