Design & Presence

Mazda's Kodo styling gives the 2 a poised, grown-up look that punches above its class. At 4,080 mm long and 1,695 mm wide it feels compact in traffic yet looks longer and sleeker than many rivals. Clean surfaces, tight panel gaps and tasteful accents make it feel like a premium small car rather than a bargain‑basement city runabout.

Interior & Usability

The cabin focuses on simplicity and quality with soft‑touch surfaces where they matter and a driver‑oriented centre stack. Seating for 5 is standard, front seats are supportive for longer drives and controls are uncluttered so daily use stays straightforward. Small practical touches such as accessible storage and logically placed switches keep everyday life hassle‑free.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Boot space measures 280 litres with the rear seats up and can be extended to a maximum of 950 litres with the seats folded, which handles weekly shop trips and occasional bulkier items. Curb weight hovers around 1,099–1,120 kg, which helps economy but limits towing and heavy payloads to roughly 420–437 kg depending on spec. Rear legroom is acceptable for two adults but three across the back will be a squeeze on longer journeys.

Driving & Handling

The Mazda 2 steers with a light, communicative touch and a chassis tuned for agility rather than outright sport, making it ideal for twisty backroads and tight city streets. Engine choices include mild‑hybrid e‑SKYACTIV‑G and SKYACTIV‑G petrol units with outputs of 115, 90 and 75 hp, and the 115 hp model manages 0–100 km/h in about 9.1 seconds while the 90 and 75 hp variants are slower but perfectly adequate for urban use. Peak torque figures around 143–151 Nm give reasonable mid‑range shove, and the light curb weight helps performance feel livelier than the numbers suggest. Manual and automatic gearboxes cater to drivers who want involvement or easy traffic cruising respectively.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Fuel consumption sits in a compact band from roughly 4.7 to 5.4 L/100 km depending on engine and transmission, which translates to real‑world combined figures in the mid‑5s for many drivers. With a 44‑litre tank the theoretical range stretches from about 810 to 940 km, so long runs between fill‑ups are realistic if driving gently. The mild‑hybrid system helps stop‑start behaviour and low‑speed efficiency rather than delivering electric‑only range, proving most beneficial in town traffic. This economy makes the Mazda 2 a cost‑sensible choice for commuters and small families watching running costs.

Assistance & Infotainment

Mazda outfits the 2 with familiar safety aids such as autonomous emergency braking, lane‑keep assistance and adaptive cruise in higher trims, grouped under Mazda's i‑Activsense umbrella. Infotainment uses a straightforward interface with smartphone mirroring for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a central controller to reduce distraction on the move. The package covers essentials cleanly, prioritising usability over flashy extras.

Who is it for?

The Mazda 2 suits buyers who want a premium‑feeling small hatchback that is economical, easy to park and enjoyable to drive rather than the cheapest option on the forecourt. Commuters, city dwellers and couples with occasional family duties will appreciate its refinement and low running costs, while those needing maximum rear space or heavy towing should look elsewhere. Overall, it’s a polished choice for anyone valuing style, build quality and driving manners in the supermini segment.
