This is a car that lets you take control. The all-new Mazda2 is now shorter and 100kg lighter than the outgoing model - so the driving dynamics are even more alert and responsive. Get used to more attention!; the Mazda2's sports styling will turn heads for all the right reasons. Its also crammed full of exclusive features. Depending on the derivative you choose, these include 15 or 16 inch alloy wheels, cruise control, air-conditioning, an AUX jack to plug your MP3 player into, electric folding mirrors as well as rain sensing wipers and lights. Its the complete driving experience.

 

Performance 

With its outstanding fuel-efficiency, the Mazda2 offers the double benefit of lower CO2 emissions and lower running costs, but this doesn't compromise on performance. Mazda has finely tuned the 1.3 litre and 1.5 litre petrol engines with sequential valve timing which moves you with precision. As for torque, the variable induction system gives you power on demand, with a car that instantly responds to your every movement.

 

Enjoy your drive in the knowledge you and your passengers are safe. The Mazda2, with power assisted steering and responsive brakes enable you to react quickly to changing circumstances. What's more the Mazda 2 has up to six airbags to keep you, your friends and your family safe. And if you want to dazzle your passengers with the car's safety details, just tell them about the crash-resistant survival cell, ABS, Electronic Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution or the Dynamic Stablility Control and Traction Control system (Standard on Sport)

 

Sometimes, its the little things that can make all the difference. With the Mazda2 there's a stunning level of finish and an attention to detail that can't fail to impress. From the CD player to the AUX jack to connect your MP3 player tin the centre floor console, to the glovebox magazine rack and audio steering controls, you'll get a host of interior innovations with the all-new Mazda2. Not to mention a total of 250 litres of cleverly designed luggage space.
