As a product of the cooperation between Toyota and Mazda, the new Mazda 2 Hybrid Edition has been released overseas, which is based on the Toyota YARiS Hybrid Edition and will be produced in line with toyota YARiS, and will be launched in Europe in April 2022. The current Mazda2 is priced at about RMB 140,000 in the European market.
As can be seen from the official picture, the appearance of the new Mazda 2 is basically the same as that of the Toyota Yaris, except for the replacement of the Mazda logo, nothing else has moved. Previously, foreign media drew a hypothetical picture of the new car, and they thought that the Mazda 2 would make some differences with the Toyota Yaris in terms of including the grille and headlights of the front face, but in fact it did not. The picture below shows the Toyota Yaris.
However, from the appearance point of view, the new car's large mouth intake grille, for these two small cars is very recognizable and very atmospheric, the grille inside the use of banner structure for decoration, there is some visual impact, the overall appearance is still very coordinated.
In terms of the details of the light group, the headlight groups on both sides adopt a small range of blackening treatment, and the interior matches the full LED light source, and is not equipped with a lens, and the lighting effect is still excellent.
In terms of tail styling, the tail light group also adopts a blackening treatment, which is very recognizable after lighting, and the license plate frame is concave to the interior, so that the tail that is not wide itself has more layering and depth. The rear bumper design is classic and the exhaust design is a hidden layout.
The interior is also a Toyota flavor, providing three sports steering wheels, LCD dashboards with mechanical hands to make the display clear and clear, the central control screen is just right in this level of the car, and equipped with carplay, practicality is no problem.
In terms of power, the electric motor works with a 1.5L naturally aspirated three-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 91 horsepower, which, together with the electric motor, makes the car output a total of 114 horsepower, zero hundred acceleration of 9.7 seconds, and a top speed of 175 km/h.
summary
Mazda's cooperation with Toyota can greatly reduce the cost of car construction and make the price of new cars lower, but this unchanged appearance and interior design will certainly make mazda 2 competitive compared to Yaris significantly reduced.
Domestic consumers prefer "big cars", this kind of small car was definitely no market in China before, but now with the improvement of people's quality of life, more and more people accept small cars, then after that, if such small cars enter the country, will you pay for it?
