Fuel economy is from Japan’s official tests and is usually better than you’ll see on UK roads. MLIT doesn’t list power or torque.
LDA-BM2AS
Listed 2017–2019. The LDA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means diesel passenger car certified to Japan’s 2009 emissions rules. Check LDA-BM2AS against ULEZ and clean air zones.
| Engine | Gearbox | Drive | Weight | Seats | Fuel economy | Listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SH2,188 cc diesel | 6-speed automatic | four-wheel drive | 1,510–1,520 kg | 5 | 18 km/L51 mpg, Japanese JC08 test | 2017–2019 |
| SH2,188 cc diesel | 6-speed manual | four-wheel drive | 1,510 kg | 5 | 19.6 km/L55 mpg, Japanese JC08 test | 2017–2019 |
Each row is one version as MLIT lists it. A version can appear twice when MLIT gave figures on two tests that year. Low-emission stars and trim names aren’t shown. MLIT gives fuel economy in km/L; the mpg figures are our conversion to UK gallons. Japanese tests are gentler than real UK driving, so expect less.

From the JAMA chassis number lists: 車台番号一覧表. We keep only the chassis code, serial ranges and year. JAMA calls them reference information, not a certificate.
Check a BM2AS before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start BM2AS-, and the engine and gearbox should match one of the versions above. Our free check reads the UK MOT history and compares it with the chassis code.

Questions
What engine does the BM2AS have?
MLIT lists the Mazda Axela BM2AS with SH 2,188 cc diesel.
What fuel economy does the BM2AS get?
Officially between 18 and 19.6 km/L (about 51–55 mpg), depending on the version, on Japan’s own tests. Real-world figures are usually lower, especially against the older 10-15 mode test.
How heavy is the BM2AS?
Between 1,510 and 1,520 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is LDA-BM2AS the same as BM2AS?
Yes. LDA-BM2AS is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and BM2AS is the model code. The chassis number starts with BM2AS-.
About these figures
The model types, engine codes, capacities, gearboxes, drive, weights, seats and km/L figures are copied from MLIT’s yearly lists of cars on sale in Japan each March, so “listed” years are list years, not exact production dates. The English model names, mpg conversions, emissions code explanations and chassis number matching are ours. Lists before 2013 were printed as PDFs that we read by machine; where an older list gives an engine code that doesn’t match its capacity, we’ve used the figure the same model type has in other years. Check anything that matters against the car’s own papers. Spotted a mistake? Email [email protected]. All Mazda model codes.
