The first Mazda 2 was originally introduced in 2003. As the years went by, however, Mazda has decided to do some modifications to further improve the Mazda 2. It is for this reason that Mazda has altered the Mazda 2 to have it carry on a more definitive look. The renewed Mazda 2 is nowhere near the one that was released in 2003 as far as looks are concerned. It was able to take on a more functional design that is more in line with the modern life. Come to think of it, only four years has passed since the initial Mazda 2 was released. But although this is the case, it is not reason enough to not improve on it especially when Mazda itself realized that something can be done to bring it a notch higher. This is an attempt to up the ante.

With the modifications done on the façade of Mazda 2, the said vehicle was able to acquire a more captivating shape. As with the changes done in the Mazda 2’s looks, it has noticeable grains on the hood that stems from the radiator grill and all over the sides that creates a rather dynamic effect. It also gives the vehicle a modern feel to it. When it comes to the powertrain, rumor has it that three engines will be made available for the Mazda 2. These are the 1.3 liter that can produce 75 horsepower and two 1.5 liter of 84 and 103 horsepower. Apart from these three engines, a fourth engine is rumored to follow shortly. This is the gas turbo unit of 1.4 liter.

At the time of the Mazda 2’s launching, two engines will be available. These are the 1.300 cc of 75 and 84hp as well as the 1500 cc of 103 hp. These two engines are both characterized with pioneering technical solutions. This is the reason why these engines can guarantee a considerable reduction when it comes to fuel consumption. Basing from the estimates, the 1.3 cc consumers something around 5.4 liters of fuel for every 100 km run. Not bad.

When infomotori.co.uk tested the Mazda 2 with the 1.5 engine, it was able to have a horsepower output of 104 hp. Apart from this, the general quality of the vehicle was rated to be very good and of high quality. The main feature came from the exceptional powertrain. It was able to satisfy quite well the taste of those who judged it.
