3DA-BP8P
Listed 2020–2023. The 3DA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means diesel passenger car certified to Japan’s 2018 emissions rules. Check 3DA-BP8P against ULEZ and clean air zones.
| Engine | Gearbox | Drive | Weight | Seats | Fuel economy | Listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S81,756 cc diesel | 6-speed automatic | four-wheel drive | 1,460–1,480 kg | 5 | 18.8–20.2 km/L53–57 mpg, WLTC test | 2020–2023 |
| S81,756 cc diesel | 6-speed automatic | front-wheel drive | 1,390–1,420 kg | 5 | 19.8–21.9 km/L56–62 mpg, WLTC test | 2020–2023 |
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.

Check a BP8P before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start BP8P-, 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.

What fuel economy does the BP8P get?
Officially between 18.8 and 21.9 km/L (about 53–62 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 BP8P?
Between 1,390 and 1,480 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is 3DA-BP8P the same as BP8P?
Yes. 3DA-BP8P is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and BP8P is the model code. The chassis number starts with BP8P-.
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.
