The first generation of the Mazda2, introduced in April 2003, was based on the platform of the Ford Fiesta '02 and the design was based on the predecessor, the Mazda Demio . A striking external feature of the Mazda2 was the high passenger cell, which was still atypical for a small car at the time, and which was more reminiscent of a minivan . It was built in the Spanish Ford factory Almussafes near Valencia .

In the spring of 2005 there was a slight facelift in which headlights and aprons were upgraded and new fabrics and colors were used. There were also new clear glass rear lights and modified, smaller fog lights.

Engines

In the course of the model cycle, the engines and transmission variants were repeatedly revised slightly. The automated manual transmission was also available in the 1.4-liter MZ-CD diesel until 2006. In addition, the same engine has complied with the Euro 4 emissions standard since the facelift in 2005 thanks to a new control unit.

On October 20, 2007, the second generation of the Mazda2 was launched in Germany. "Downsizing" made this four centimeters shorter and was based on a new platform that the Mazda shares with the Ford Fiesta from 2008 onwards.

Ujina in Hiroshima, Japan, was selected as the production site , where the first vehicle rolled off the assembly line on May 22, 2007. In contrast to the box-shaped first generation, the new model was a purely small car with no optical borrowings from a minivan . In addition to the shorter length of 3.88 meters, the weight was also reduced by around 100 kg, which should also reduce fuel consumption. Depending on the position of the seat backrests, the trunk volume was 250 to 787 liters (trunk volume, l according to VDA / folded second row of seats, roof-high); six airbags and ESP were standard.

At the start of sales, Mazda initially only offered a five-door version. A three-door model called Mazda2 Sport followed at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008 and was sold from June of that year.

The prices started at 11,950 euros (Mazda2 Sport) and 12,650 euros (Mazda2) for the basic version Impulse and were thus slightly below those of the previous generation. In addition to the base, there was also the Independence and Impression equipment .

At the beginning of 2008, a notchback version mainly intended for the Chinese market was launched. This was presented at the Guangzhou Auto Show on November 20, 2007. By extending the rear end by 37 centimeters, the trunk volume increased to 450 liters. The two larger gasoline engines and a four-speed automatic were available for the notchback.

From the beginning of 2009 the Mazda2 was also available with the "Dynamic" equipment variant, which was based on "Impression" and also contained a sport-look package.

In the late summer of 2010, the Mazda2 underwent a subtle facelift in which the front bumper was redesigned.

Production of the second generation ended in autumn 2014.

Engines

In addition to the newly developed gasoline engines with 1.3 or 1.5 liter displacement that have been available since the start of sales, a 50 kW (68 hp) 1.4-liter common-rail diesel engine was added in 2008. This was replaced in June 2009 by a new 66 kW (90 PS) 1.6-liter common rail diesel engine. All engines are in-line four-cylinder.

Electric drive

From October 2012, the Mazda2 (Demio) was also offered for the first time in Japan with an electric drive as part of a leasing program. The Mazda2 EV has an output of 75 kW (102 PS) and the range of the electric car should be 200 kilometers according to the Japanese JC08 driving cycle. In terms of space, the five-seater does not differ from the conventionally powered model.

The third generation of Mazda2 was presented at the Paris Motor Show in autumn 2014. In addition to a new look in Mazda's Kodo design - Kodo means something like "soul of movement" - the model has completely new engines based on the SkyActiv technology developed by Mazda .

The Mazda2 is produced at the Hofu plant in Japan and has been available in Europe only as a five-door hatchback sedan since January 2015 . In Germany, the sales premiere took place on February 27th and 28th; prices started at around € 12,800. Four equipment lines are offered.

The technology named by the manufacturer SkyActiv (since 2011) includes a compression of 14: 1, an engine block made of an aluminum alloy, multi-hole injectors and less friction. Mazda thus promises more torque at low speeds and lower fuel consumption. By February 2011, Mazda said it had applied for more than 130 patents. The turning circle is less than 10 meters.

In some Asian markets, a notchback version has been sold again since spring 2015.

Engines

At the market launch, there were three gasoline and one diesel engines to choose from, all with a displacement of 1.5 liters. The two weaker petrol engines are equipped with a manual 5-speed manual transmission, and a six-speed automatic transmission can also be selected for the 90 hp petrol engine. The two more powerful engines had a manual transmission with six gears. Mazda SKYACTIV technology "i-ELOOP" (Intelligent Energy Loop), a braking energy recovery system that is already available in the Mazda3 and Mazda6 , is available for the 85 kW petrol engine. It consists of a capacitor, a generator and a DC voltage converter. As soon as the vehicle is braked or no acceleration takes place, the generator converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy and stores it in a capacitor. This electrical energy supplies, among other things, the air conditioning and the audio system and should save up to 10% petrol.

The Skyactiv-D 105 diesel engine has not been available since August 2018.

Facelift

For the 2020 model year, the front section in particular has been revised. Most noticeable here are the now standard LED main headlights in a modified design. The taillights have also been changed slightly. In addition to the introduction of mild hybrid systems, the two remaining gasoline engines Skyactiv-G 75 and -G 90 receive a 6-speed manual transmission, whereas the previous Skyactiv-G 115 is no longer available. For the Skyactiv-G 90, a 6-stage automatic is still optionally available.
