The Mazda 2 in its Third Generation Restyling 2 form stays a compact five-door city car, built for tight streets and easy parking while keeping enough refinement for longer trips.
A Mazda 2 engine in this generation stays modest in size, which suits daily commuting and keeps running costs low. The 1.5 AT version, for example, pairs a hybrid petrol powertrain with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, a drivetrain layout that makes city driving relaxed and smooth.
Mazda 2 battery capacity in hybrid form is small by design, since the pack assists the petrol engine rather than replacing it. The 1.5 AT uses a lithium-ion battery that recharges while you brake and drive, so there is nothing to plug in and low-speed running stays quiet.
