Mazda 2

The Mazda 2 (Japanese: マツダ・ツー, Hepburn: Matsuda Tsū) is a subcompact/supermini (B-segment) car, which has been available as a 4-door sedan and a 5 door hatchback manufactured and marketed by Mazda since 2002, currently in its third generation. An entry-level model of the brand in markets outside Japan, the Mazda2 is positioned below the Mazda3. The Mazda2 has also been marketed as the Mazda Demio (a name it kept in the Japanese market until 2019), while its direct predecessor was exported as the Mazda 121. The second-generation Mazda2 earned the 2008 World Car of the Year title, while the third-generation model was awarded the 2014–2015 Japanese Car of the Year. The third-generation model was sold in North America as the Scion iA and Toyota Yaris, Yaris iA and Yaris R. A separate, gasoline-hybrid version based on the Toyota Yaris Hybrid has been sold in Europe under the same Mazda2 nameplate since 2022 alongside the gasoline-powered third-generation Mazda2.
