Newly-developed suspension - MacPherson strut at the front and torsion beam at the rear - and Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system deliver a stable ride and precise, linear handling, allowing everyone to experience the fun of being in command of the car. Advanced technology including Sequential Valve Timing (S-VT) gives the powerful MZR 1.5 engine thrilling response across its entire speed range, as well as outstanding fuel economy.
And this translates into sparkling performance no matter where you drive, from high-speed motorway cruising to stop-start driving on crowded city streets, and everything in between. So drivers of all abilities can enjoy Mazda2's dynamic performance to the full. Front ventilated disc and rear drum brakes offer confident, linear stopping power that ranks among the best in the class. And the smooth, comfortable ride features low levels of noise, vibration and harshness to make Mazda2 a calm and quiet companion at any speed.

Inside and out, Mazda2 is designed to move you with its exquisitely dynamic appeal. Deeply sculpted contours and powerful body lines come together to create a sporty yet friendly impression, resulting in a uniquely athletic design statement. Just a single glance at Mazda2's dynamic wedge shape gives you an exciting sense of motion even when the car is parked. The interior is designed according to the "exquisite" concept:
form as an expression of carefully considered beauty, realizing a spacious cabin that belies the compact exterior dimensions. In particular, the front seats give an impression of expansive roominess, while the rear offers even tall passengers the space to relax. And Mazda2's interior stands apart from the crowd thanks to its stylish look and reassuring feeling of quality.

Accelerating, cruising, turning, stopping. Even improved fuel economy. Whatever it is, a lighter car does it better. That's why Mazda2 bucks the trend towards larger, heavier cars, weighing in about 100kg lighter than its predecessor. Thanks to widespread use of lightweight ultra-high-tensile steel and innovative spot reinforcements, body weight is kept down to approximately one ton while strength and rigidity are actually increased. In particular, the lower fuel consumption that comes with the lighter weight also translates into lower emissions so you not only economize on fuel, you're also helping to protect the environment. Mazda2: lighter, nimbler, safer, more economical, cleaner - and just plain more fun.
