This month Thai car buyers will get the chance to buy the all new Mazda2 powered by a new generation of SKYACTIV engines. Looking very much like a smaller version of the new Mazda3 range, this new Mazda2 sedan will compete directly with the aging Nissan Almera and the current VW Polo sedan. With better design, engine technology and more features than the current competition, this all new Mazda2 sedan will surely be a best seller once it is launched in Malaysia. This all-new Mazda2 compact sedan comes with handsome proportions and bold styling, a high-quality, sporty interior and a combination of excellent driving performance and outstanding environmental and safety performance. Both the sedan and the hatchback feature the SKYACTIV-D 1.5, Mazda’s newly-developed small-displacement clean diesel engine.
The all-new Mazda2 is the fourth in Mazda’s line-up of new-generation vehicles adopting the full range of SKYACTIV technologies and the KODO-Soul of Motion design theme. All the new technologies and ideas that Mazda has cultivated throughout the development of its new-generation vehicles since the CX-5 have been packed into the model’s compact body. With features such as the Mazda Connect advanced car connectivity system, the all-new Mazda2 offers functionality and value exceeding the standards of the segment. The model has received high acclaim, including being awarded 2014-2015 Car of the Year Japan in October, 2014.
The Mazda2 is Mazda’s best-selling passenger model in Thailand with approximately 120,000 units sold since the model went on sale in the country in January 2010. The all-new Mazda2 has been approved for the second phase of Thailand’s Eco-Car program, and with the local launch of the new model Mazda aims to further strengthen its business in the country.
