Plant
HIROSHIMA, Japan - Mazda Motor Corporation
today unveiled the All-New Mazda2 which will go on sale in
Australia in the last quarter of 2014.
The All-New Mazda2 will be available with a range of three
different engines, dependant on market, including SKYACTIV-G 1.5
and 1.3 litre petrol engines, or a SKYACTIV-D 1.5 litre diesel
engine.
The All-New Mazda2 packs a whole host of improvements into its
compact body and KODO design giving the car the look of a living
creature and imparting a presence unrivalled in the class.
Developed around the same engineering concepts as those in
larger next-generation models, new SKYACTIV engines, transmissions,
body, and chassis, allow the All-New Mazda2 to provide both
outstanding safety and fuel efficiency whilst enhancing the
all-important fun-to-drive factor.
The All-New Mazda2 line-up offers a range of cutting-edge
technologies such as MZD Connect, Mazda's next-generation car
connectivity system.
Available for the first time on Mazda's smallest model are
i-ACTIVSENSE advanced safety features that aid the driver in
recognizing and responding to hazards.
Production of All-New Mazda2, which has been fully redesigned
for the first time in seven years, has begun at Mazda's Hofu Plant
No. 1 in Yamaguchi, Japan.
Following the Mazda CX-5, Mazda6 and Mazda3, the All-New Mazda2
is the fourth in Mazda's line-up of next-generation models which
adopt the full range of SKYACTIV Technology and 'KODO - Soul of
Motion' design.
With total sales of over 2.4 million units globally, the Mazda2
is one of Mazda's core products. Starting with the launch of the
original in 1996, the Mazda2 has brought new value to the
subcompact segment every time it has been fully redesigned. With
this fourth generation Mazda2, Mazda again offers customers around
the world a new interpretation of the subcompact car.
Mazda2 has been Australia's favourite light car two out of the
past three years.
