The All-New Mazda2 follows the Mazda CX-5, Mazda6 and Mazda3 to become the fourth model and first small passenger car-entry level sedan to join Mazda’s line-up of new-generation vehicles that adopt the ‘KODO—Soul of Motion’ design language and full range of SKYACTIV Technology.
It is the third generation of the Mazda2, which has consistently brought new value to the B-segment since the launch of the original model in 2002.
The development goal for the All-New Mazda2 was to inspire a new group of Mazda fans by creating a vehicle capable of helping youthful, forward-thinking customers to express themselves, and support them as they grow and enjoy new experiences.
The newly developed fuel-efficient SKYACTIV-G 1.5L engine with SKYACTIV-DRIVE transmissions are your passport to a world of driving that is both exciting and eco-friendly. The SKYACTIV-BODY is engineered to be lighter in weight with better safety performance and increased rigidity. And the SKYACTIV-CHASSIS delivers even more of Mazda's famous feeling of oneness between the car and you, the driver.
KODO captures the very instant energy becomes motion. It’s the muscular beauty you see when an animal pounces, or when a human leaps into action. Everywhere you look, this dynamic poise is enhanced by elegant detail. The five-point grille, defining body lines and powerful stance brings the all new Mazda2 to life.
A physique that conveys a sense of explosive forward momentum through its expression of condensing and releasing energy.
Finely crafted interior quality that greatly surpasses notions of the class.
High efficiency SKYACTIV-G direct-injection petrol engines are your passport to a world of driving that is both exciting and eco-friendly.
SKYACTIV-G 1.5L petrol engine with 4-2-1 exhaust system and i-stop
A newly developed, compact 6-speed automatic transmission that achieves excellent fuel economy, a direct feel similar to that of a manual transmission, as well as smooth and powerful acceleration.
The All-New Mazda2 adopts MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam suspension system in the rear that is light weight and offers advantages
in terms of packaging. Including standard SKYACTIV Chassis technology such as an increased caster trail and angle, and a repositioned rear suspension
mounting point, the suspension adopts front and rear dampers with a friction control function and other refinements to achieve both nimble driving
performance and ride comfort.
A quicker steering gear ratio makes the steering wheel on All-New Mazda2 more responsive. It also adopts a rigid steering mount for the first time on
a Mazda passenger car to improve linearity as well as overall steering system rigidity.
The brake system employs ventilated discs in the front and drum brakes in the rear. They deliver more linear and precise control characteristics,
along with greater operating ease and braking power.
The SKYACTIV-Body for the All-New Mazda2 has an even simpler frame layout and optimised cross-section shapes while basically inheriting the same outstanding
architecture used on other Mazda models. Measures implemented on every detail of the body, to increase rigidity and improve damping feel without increasing weight,
result in a 22 percent increase in torsional rigidity when compared to the previous model.
The simple, lightweight frame layout helps reduce “Body in White” weight by approximately 7 percent over the previous model. The All-New Mazda2 greatly expands
the usage ratio of high tensile steel, which contributes to a reduction in weight while maintaining high strength.
The All-New Mazda2 is equipped with Mazda’s i-stop idling stop system
which helps deliver smooth stopping and starting along with excellent fuel economy.
The system automatically stops the engine when the driver presses the brake pedal
and stops the car. When subsequently releasing the brake
to move off again, fuel is injected directly into the engine’s cylinder and combusted
to automatically restart the car in approximately 0.35 seconds.
The further evolution of the All-New Mazda2 allows the system to operate at lower water temperatures after the engine is started than on previous iterations.
This makes it possible to use the idling stop system sooner after starting the engine and improves real-world fuel economy numbers.
For display and operation systems, the new Mazda2 adopts Mazda’s HMI based on its
Heads-up Cockpit concept, which was first employed in the Mazda3. The Active Driving Display is positioned on top of the meter hood,
a seven inches centre display is mounted on the dashboard, and the commander control is positioned atop the floor console.
The new meter cluster design features a round analogue meter in the centre, flanked
on the left and right by a pair of wing-shaped digital displays. On the high-grade
specification new Mazda2, a tachometer with an integrated digital speedometer in it is
placed in the centre. The other grades place a speedometer in the centre and a digital
tachometer in the display wing on the left.
Surrounded by a metallic ring and featuring an elaborate three-dimensional dial face,
the centre meter creates a sporty, high-quality design.
The All-New Mazda2 adopts MZD Connect on selected grades, the new-car connectivity system that was first introduced on the
new-generation Mazda3.
This system is safe and simple to operate and allows easy access to internet connectivity and social networking services that today’s customers consider essential, even when in transit.
It responds to a wider variety of needs by greatly improving the convenience of functions that require Bluetooth® connectivity, such as hands-free phone operation, the delivery of short text messages, and internet radio including Aha™ by HARMAN.
By supporting the ongoing evolution of communications equipment on both the hardware and software levels, this innovative platform ensures that customers always have access to the latest services without swapping out any hardware.
