Mazda 2: The Complete Guide
Discover everything you need to know about the Mazda 2 in our complete guide, which offers expert insights on the vehicle's key features, engine options and interiors.
Updated 16 September 2024
The Mazda 2 elegantly showcases Mazda’s signature KODO: Soul of Motion design, complemented by innovative SKYACTIV Technology, cutting-edge features, and a sophisticated interior. With two distinct models to choose from, the Mazda 2 SKYACTIV and Mazda 2 Hybrid model, the Mazda 2 is an energetic city car, full of space and practicality.
Under the hood, the Mazda 2 SKYACTIV boasts a robust 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine. Enhanced by Mazda’s M Hybrid system, it harnesses energy from regenerative braking, directing it to the engine and onboard electronics via an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG). Within the Mazda 2 SKYACTIV lineup, there are four different trim levels: Centre-Line, Exclusive-Line, Homura, and Homura Aka.
On the other hand, the Mazda 2 Hybrid is powered by a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine paired with a 79bhp electric motor, delivering a combined output of 114bhp. There’s no need for plug-in charging – simply fill up the tank and drive it as you would any conventional petrol car. Its lithium-ion battery efficiently self-charges, recycling energy during braking. The hybrid variant is available in 3 Trim levels: Pure, Agile and Select.
