The Mazda2 is a clever, compact car designed to offer everything a modern driver wants and needs in an efficient package. As a rule, Mazda styling stands out from the crowd, and on the Mazda2’s compact frame the brand’s flowing ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language has a big impact.
The Mazda2 offers a lot of soul in a compact package. From the push-start ignition, multi-function steering wheel, to Bluetooth and USB ports, the Mazda2 is designed to seamlessly fit in with your lifestyle.
Exterior updates
On the outside the Mazda2 has received some minor styling changes. The Mazda2 Active now has a solid black bumper while the Dynamic derivative now sports a solid colour-coded grille with a yellow insert.
The Mazda2 Individual now has a Honeycomb grille with a red insert as well as a roof wrap that further personalises this derivative. In addition, the Individual has new wheels: Black Metallic with Machining.
Furthermore, Mazda2 buyers have two new exterior colours to choose from: Air Stream Blue and Aero Grey.
Interior updates
Depending on the exterior colour, the Mazda2 Dynamic has a new selection of interior trim:
White interior trim to go with exterior colours of Snowflake White pearl, Soul Red Crystal, Polymetal Grey, and Platinum Quartz.
Black interior trim to go with exterior colours of Deep Crystal Blue, Machine Grey, Aero Grey, and Arctic white.
Mint interior trim to go with the Air Stream Blue exterior.
The Mazda2 Individual now comes with interior trim that includes red stitching on seats and red bezels throughout.
About Mazda KODO design
KODO Design is Mazda’s way of breathing soul and personality into metal, wood and leather using traditional tools, outstanding craftsmanship and the passion of an artist. As with traditional Japanese crafts, we start with a simple, sculpted form and as we create, we design to achieve beauty without distraction or clutter.
We start every interior with one focus: connecting the driver with their car. We build every vehicle around the driver and engineer technologies with the driver in mind so that everything feels intuitive and effortless.
This approach employs advanced techniques to study how people move and react as they drive and bring engineers and designers together to design cockpits and interiors based on a human-centric approach. When driving feels natural and stress-free, it gives the driver maximum control, complete safety and the ultimate driving pleasure.
