New Mazda2 offers better value proposition than ever before

Building on a long-established reputation, the new Mazda2 will enhance your everyday driving experience with thoughtful feature upgrades across the line-up.

A key highlight of these updates is a more comprehensively equipped Active edition. Features previously associated with higher derivatives are now available from the entry edition, including a 7-inch display with MZD Connect, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The refreshed look is further expressed through 15-inch 2-tone steel wheels, yellow front and rear grille accents and a coloured interior panel finish that gives the model a more distinctive character.

Power remains the same

The 2026 Mazda2 remains powered by a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine, that also produces 85kW at 6 000rpm and 148Nm of torque at 4 000rpm, while you have the option of a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
