The 2017 Mazda Axela is a compact car that successfully blends sporty handling, efficiency, and a premium feel, making it a strong contender for anyone looking for a reliable, stylish ride in Kenyan cities. Engine choices vary from a 1.5-litre petrol engine up to 2.2-litre petrol or diesel depending on the imported variant, so there’s flexibility depending on power needs or fuel-cost sensitivity. The 1.5L version produces around 109 to 117 horsepower, the 2.0L petrol delivers about 136 horsepower, while the 2.2L diesel variants provide more torque, making them appealing for those who travel longer distances or want more pulling strength. Under favourable conditions, the smaller petrol units can manage about 13 km per litre on highways, though this can drop in heavy city traffic.
Inside, the cabin is well put together with quality materials, comfortable seating for five, and an infotainment system that feels modern and practical for its class. Features such as blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, reverse camera, parking sensors, and stability or traction control are often available depending on the trim level. Drivers tend to praise the handling, responsive steering, and the sporty feel the Axela provides, especially in its 2.0L and 2.2L trims.
On the road, the Axela offers a smooth ride, though its relatively low ground clearance of around 5.3 to 5.5 inches can be a disadvantage on Kenya’s uneven roads, potholes, or unpaved sections. Careful driving is necessary especially outside urban centres. The fuel tank holds about 55 litres, which gives a reasonable range if driven efficiently.
Maintenance costs are generally moderate for its segment. Mazda parts are fairly available in major towns, though some components, especially body parts or specialized items, can be pricier. Common issues among Axela owners include rattling noises from the rear suspension, fragile boot release mechanisms, thermostat failures, occasional misfires or loss of power as the car ages, and quicker wear of braking components. Ensuring a full service history and inspecting these areas before purchase is highly recommended. The 2017 Mazda Axela is therefore a compelling choice for those seeking style, decent performance, and comfort without venturing into luxury segments. It really shines in city and highway driving, less so on rural roads unless modifications or very careful driving are applied. For many Kenyans, the balance of cost, driving experience, and prestige makes the Axela a smart and attractive purchase.
