It's all packed into an extraordinarily attractive KODO - Soul of Motion exterior that shelters an innovatively ergonomic and pleasingly refined cabin destined to make occupants forget they're actually riding in a subcompact.

All the experience building the first three award-winning new generation Mazdas has gone into the fourth. Already named Japan Car of the Year 2014-15, the all-new Mazda2 demonstrates that practice makes perfect when it comes to outdoing oneself.

That KODO is literally in motion, evolving with every rendition, is best seen on the grille of the all-new Mazda2. The distinctive chromed signature wing, a defining feature of Mazda's new-generation line-up, now presents an even more formidable, three-dimensional look. The bold chromed "wings", whose sculpted finish suggests quality and dignity, pass through the headlamps on a contour that continues down the side of the body. There it is joined by more of KODO's distinctive character lines, which in this case defy the design limitations that normally hold sway in the B segment.

Mazda's latest supermini is also available with a choice of rightsized SKYACTIV-G petrol engines. Admired on existing new-generation Mazdas for their unique responsiveness and fuel efficiency, these naturally aspirated direct-injection powerplants feature high compression and low mechanical resistance. And like the smaller SKYACTIV-D, they too have been optimised for B-segment needs.

This is because linear accelerator response is particularly important in a subcompact. Consider a typical day-to-day situation like decelerating into a roundabout, maintaining a more or less constant pace through it, and smoothly accelerating out again.

Even an inexperienced driver needs to be able to predict the pedal behaviour, so Mazda designed the throttle to give consistent feedback to the driver while ironing out jerky behaviour and unwanted bursts of speed. That builds confidence and makes driving more enjoyable.
