DJ Mazda2

Mazda’s next-generation light car Mazda2 released to the Australian market in November 2014 and set the Japanese car-importer on the path to reclaim the segment sales crown.

Released with a 1.5-litre engine, in two different states of tune, the base variant Mazda2 made 76kW/135Nm, while mid- and top-spec guises made 81kW/141Nm.

Mazda also included standard equipment such as Bluetooth connectivity, USB input and push button start, while higher grades received increased interior refinements.
