What do you drive?
Is it inspiring?
What were the people who built your car thinking?
Are they just another behemoth car maker following the rules?
Or do they break them?
Do they push the boundaries of tradition and habit
to achieve the unachieved?
Are they insightful craftsmen,
obsessing over the details with a crazed passion?
Building less – building better –
for a discerning few?
Are you one of the few
who cares about what you drive,
how it drives
and the way it makes you feel?
We’re with you.
Because we believe if it’s not worth driving,
it’s not worth building.
We build Mazdas.
What do you drive?

How do you shave 100 kg off a car? With a very sharp pencil.
There’s a lot to gain by losing a little excess weight. Improved performance, reduced emissions and increased fun. However,
as any Mazda engineer will tell you, dropping 100 kg (220 lbs) can only happen gram by gram. Building a lighter vehicle
without compromising its structural rigidity or crash performance requires a wealth of knowledge and an obsession for
detail. That’s why the engineers at Mazda developed the “Gram Strategy,” a process that involves meticulously analyzing
every element of the MAZDA2 and re-engineering to lighten each part by at least one gram. Plus, Mazda’s “Triple H”
construction frame uses a lighter – yet stronger – high-tensile steel. The result: A leaner and meaner MAZDA2.

Real sports cars have curves. Aerodynamic ones that is.
At Mazda, we believe that form follows fun and function. When we design a car, we look
at styling as another way to enhance its performance. Sleek and sporty, every line and
curve on the MAZDA2 is as functional as it is beautiful.
A sporty silhouette and convenient fifth door conceal a surprising
amount of cargo space.
Wide headlights and taillights, and available halogen fog lights (GS model)
give the MAZDA2 an athletic appearance while increasing air flow over the
back and around sides.
An available race-inspired rear roof spoiler (GS model) reduces turbulence,
providing further proof that the MAZDA2 is one subcompact with the soul
of a sports car.
A sculpted exterior cuts down on wind resistance while catching
light – for an alluring look from any angle.
Good things come in small packages. As long as incredible engineers do the packaging.
From numerous “Car of the Year” awards, to over 50 other international honours and awards since its launch, this potent
little car has earned more awards than it can carry. With razor-sharp handling and an impressive power-to-weight ratio, the
MAZDA 2 is the subcompact car that drives nothing like one, and critics and drivers agree.

You + 4 + More.
Don’t let its subcompact size fool you. This car has seating for five or up to 787 L of cargo* room with
the 60/40-split rear seatbacks folded down. The adjustable driver’s seat and deep cargo floor allow for even
more custom storage solutions. Multiple cup holders, cell phone/iPod holder and other hidden storage areas
help to create a custom-fit experience. Because at Mazda, we believe when it comes to interiors, it’s what you
can fit on the inside that counts.
*Please remember to properly secure all cargo.

Fully equipped with everything you need.
And a little extra.

We trimmed the weight, not the peace of mind.
There’s a common misconception that strength comes from weight, a misconception that the engineers at Mazda have rigorously
challenged time and time again. Built with “Triple H” body construction and high-tensile steel, the light-weight and strong MAZDA2
offers the ultimate in safety engineering. Reinforced driver’s and passenger’s compartments provide protection on all sides. A standard
collapsible steering column absorbs energy in the event of a heavy frontal impact, while a foldaway brake assembly reduces the risk
of serious injuries to the ankle and leg. Additional spot welds and specialized adhesives between panels help improve body strength
where it counts and impact absorption where needed. Bottom line: A light ride can be a safe one, and the MAZDA2 is proof of that.
Leave the subcompact class in the dust.
Why is it that cars getting 6.8 L/100 km (42 mpg)* take forever to get up to 60 km/h? At Mazda, we believe subcompact cars shouldn’t
be restricted to the slow lane. Built with an MZR 1.5 L, DOHC, 16-valve, 100-hp engine with variable valve timing, with an
award-winning manual transmission or available 4-speed automatic transmission, the MAZDA2 gets up to 5.6 L/100 km
(50 mpg) highway* without sacrificing a single drop of excitement. Factor in rpm-sensing variable power assist
steering and a shorter, more responsive shift throw, and you have control that matches speed. Light, fast and
fuel-efficient, the MAZDA2 is tuned and toned to burn a lot of things fast, but fuel isn’t one of them.
*Estimated fuel economy on the manual transmission. Actual results may vary. MPG is listed in Imperial gallons.
*Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is not a substitute for safe driving practices.
†Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seats in appropriate child restraints.
ACTIVE SAFETY
Dynamic Stability Control* modulates the throttle and brakes when a sudden loss
of traction is detected to help keep the vehicle stable during a turn. The Traction
Control System detects any loss of traction, then adjusts the throttle to provide the
drive wheels with a better grip on the road and more sure-footed acceleration during
difficult driving conditions.
ADVANCED
BRAKING SYSTEM
BRAKES
Every MAZDA2 comes equipped with a wide range of standard
braking features. The Anti-lock Brake System pulses the brakes
several hundred times a second, preventing wheel lock so
the driver can make controlled stops. Electronic Brake Force
Distribution monitors pedal pressure and vehicle weight to
determine how much force to apply to the front and rear brakes,
while Brake Assist automatically increases braking pressure,
thereby reducing stopping distance in emergency situations.
AIR BAGS
Six air bags† come standard on every MAZDA 2.
Advanced dual front air bags utilize inflators with
both crash-zone and driver’s and passenger’s
seat weight sensors. Dual side air bags and dual
side air curtains provide coverage for front and
rear passengers.
