The Mazda2 is a stylish small hatchback available with either three or five doors. Sport trim adds larger alloys and some sporty visual upgrades.
The 2 is enjoyable to drive, with especially responsive steering. The ride is generally comfortable while simple controls, excellent visibility and compact dimensions help make it easy to drive and park.
The five-seat Mazda is similar in size to the Ford Fiesta and packs a surprising amount of space into its compact dimensions. Passengers in the back get a good amount of headroom and legroom; five-door cars provide easier access to the back seats. The boot has a large hatchback opening and its 280-litre capacity is enough for two medium-sized suitcases and a couple of squashy bags. The split-fold back seats can be lowered quickly with a simple press of a button to boost the load area. The interior uses good-quality materials and there’s lots of equipment, with the entry-level SE L trim featuring air con, Bluetooth and DAB radio. SE L Nav trim adds an easy-to-use touchscreen with sat nav and Apple CarPlay. Sport Nav has keyless entry, while GT Sport Nav trim has leather trim and a reversing camera.
The Mazda2 is better equipped and costs less than many of its rivals. Its petrol engines are very efficient, with an official average of up to 62.7mpg, and insurance groups are low. Reliability is excellent and Mazda scores consistently well in independent customer satisfaction surveys. The 2’s advanced safety features helped it achieve a four-star score from safety organisation Euro NCAP.
The 2 is Mazda’s entry-level hatchback. It’s smaller and costs less to buy than the compact Mazda3. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo the Mazda2 is much the same size but is especially well equipped for the money.
