After three years of career,
the Mazda 2 will offer a makeover |
Gone are the (Ford) Fiesta: the next Mazda 2 barters below against its U.S. platform 100% Japanese. Emancipation which continues under the hood and is accompanied by a shift in style.
In the space of two generations, the Mazda 2 has changed.

A turnaround quite enjoyed ... in some markets: France, the Japanese city remains particularly discreet. She is ranked 37th in his class last year, with less than 1,000 copies sold. Something to smile Renault Clio, Peugeot 208 and Citroen C3 others who are at least 60 times disseminated. But the "2" has not said its last word, because the skin will change next year, adopting an inspired SUV CX-5 and the recent family "6" look.

The Japanese firm and will continue to take its independence vis-�-vis the U.S. group, which sold most of its shares in the capital. Like today, the relief appear at the top of the specifications for this city. But to reduce its consumption, it also refine its lifts. In essence, direct injection, high compression ratio and Stop & Start and appear on the menu, as is already the case for the 1.3 to 84 hp SKYACTIV aside, for the moment, the Mazda 2 Japanese.
