Mark X , 2.5L gets regularly 14.5kpl on the highway for me. Real life. If you decide to push down the "Sports Mode" so that it dashes and pushes your head back onto the seat at breakneck acceleration weaving through traffic and overtaking like lightning - your consumption goes down to 10kpl on the highway. If we had some real good Expressways between Mombasa - Nairobi - Kisumu, etc the bigger engined cars would be the best option to use for travels, hoping they allow inner lanes to operate between 140-150kph. They don't tire easily.
i have been dying for ATENZA and even after this video,am still banking with atenza...the sleek look is what has been taking my attention on this particular car...good content guys ,mtu kama mm cjui hii stry ningejulia wapi
Appreciate the review. I would go for the smaller rim where possible. The tire profile will be larger and will have more shock absorption and a better ride especially on the Kenyan roads.
Great job as always. Always loved the sound of the V6 from the very first time I drove one in 2011.Actually the Atenza featured sits on 19s. The 3.0V6 was only found in the GRX 121 series with 3GR-FSE with 252bhp and 314 Nm of torque. For the GRX 133 the 2GR-FSE churns out 312bhp and 380Nm of torque. With the limited Modellista of the same that is supercharged numbers jumped to 355bhp and 497Nm of torque. Keep up the great work!
I've seen this mazda skyactiv supercharged. The numbers are around 300 whp. There's some videos here on RU-vid. Its pretty great for a lightweight 4 banger
Nice content. Please always brief us on car space (boot), test drives, taking turns with the car, is the car fit for a tall person which is the leg room, and head space. Loved the fact that you launched the car. Thank you.
Mark X has got enough driver space and passager too. Coming to pickup speed is the beast 💪. Toyota mark X all the way. I had experience all the way from Darasam up to into Zambia. Best car on the market so far 👌
Nimeskia mkisema from 2018 Atenza gets a turbo, lakini Wokabi umesashau from 2019 Mark X gets the limited edition GRMN. 3.5litre NA, 6 speed manual, rear wheel drive. lakini sasa hapo kwa value for money point inapotea.😅
Mark X 2.5 V6 is just super punchy and liquid smooth from idle to redline. The shoot off from standstill is immediate and impressively strong. And it sounds lovely! Mazda 6 2.5 is not slow but it's relatively gruff sounding and especially coarse to redline...
I agree as a 1st generation owner the bumper chapas really bad and its weak,you have to facelift it to have a strong nicer looking one,thou I'm still with Grx120 I say its for the Streets🥵,Grx130 is for class😎
The mark X people need to go up in arms against Erick. After being told that they install gypsum ceilings, put mazeras on their floors, mara their vehicles zimekuliwa na mbwa!! Then he goes ahead and picks it over the lovely atenza. What on God's green earth is this form of gaslighting. Mimi siwezi ambiwa ivo. No way
Current mark x's have V6 VVTI engines that are fuel efficient. Mark X makes 15KM/L on high way. Mark x consumes alot of fuel at low speeds but consumes less fuel on high speeds.
It's crazy that the one with front wheel drive is less spacious and practical. That was the whole point of transverse mounted front wheel drive layout!
No car decision conversation here,ibra here always agreeing with you not defending his car...mbogua is a big fan of mazda he should have been the one reviewing the mazda..alot of winning points for mazda here🤔
Hello Erick withCK. Honestly, i wish you could start doing 2 car comparisons from now onwards. This is very impressive and really informative, and don't forget Carniversation without mentioning Mbugua & Boot is not a Carniversation😅😅😅says Captain Kilonzo 😂😂
In my opinion the Atenza should be compared to the Toyota Camry not mark X. Mazda do not have the mark X equivalent in their lineups. This is purely my opinion. All in all this is a wonderful review.
I think for the looks Mazda has the look of a serious man going for work,it's ready for anything it's matured,,it looks like the Boss it's self,and it sound Good But the Mark X has a Sexy look inataka kukunywa tu warembo😂,,, I think The Mazda Should win
I have never spent 41 minutes watching a car review/comparison until now, this is very informative and entertaining as well 👏 ❤............l'll take the Mark X any day of the year
mazdas in general have smaller interior space due to the way the exhaust manifold is designed, thats why they have long hoods and relatively small interiors
