Design
The Axela is based on the Ford global C1 platform, which was developed by Volvo and is shared with the latest European Ford Focus and Volvo S40. Mazda was responsible for the chassis development, while Ford designed the suspension. The exterior of the car is based on the MX-Sportif concept car, and is available as a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback. Its front suspension is a MacPherson strut system with coil springs and an anti-roll bar, and its rear suspension is a Ford-designed "E-link" multi-link system with four locating links per wheel and an anti-roll bar. Disc brakes are standard on all four wheels with 300 mm discs in the front and 279 mm in the rear. Optional features include ABS and electronic brake force distribution, and wheel and tire sizes range from 15 inches on the base models to 17 inches on the upper-level models.Own a piece of history with our Mazda 3 5door 2004 posters, mousepads, t-shirts, and calendars!
