Mazda has unveiled the all-new Mazda2, which is known as Mazda Demio in Japan.
The automaker has begun production of the model at Mazda’s Hofu Plant No. 1 in Yamaguchi, Japan. The all-new Mazda2 will be rolled out in global markets starting from Japan this autumn.
“The all-new Mazda2 brings a level of functionality and added-values exceeding the expectations for a car of this class by evolving the concepts and technologies cultivated through the development of earlier next-generation products, and condensing them in a compact body,” Mazda said in a statement.
The all-new Mazda2 also features the Mazda Connect next-generation car connectivity system, and a wide range of i-ACTIVSENSE advanced safety features that aid the driver in recognizing and responding to hazards.
The all-new Mazda2 is available with the SKYACTIV-D 1.5, a new small-displacement clean diesel engine that offers excellent fuel economy and eco-performance while delivering torque comparable to a 2.5-liter gasoline engine. The Japanese market will get the SKYACTIV-D 1.5-liter diesel and SKYACTIV-G 1.3-liter gasoline engines, according to Mazda.
