The Mazda2 is powered by a 1.3-litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine with a fuel economy of 23.3kpl while the high-spec 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-D diesel turbo engine does 26.3kpl.
The i-Activsense intelligent safety package is available along with wireless Apple Carplay/Android Auto, wireless smartphone charger and a 7-inch centre touchscreen with Center Commander controller.
Updated features offered in every variant include LED projector headlights with auto levelling, auto emergency braking, G-Vectoring Control Plus and a noise-reducing windscreen.
Mazda's Tadashi Miura said its intentions for the 2023 Mazda2 are not only to update its design but also to maintain its competitiveness in the subcompact car market.
"In addition, the launch of the new Mazda2 is to grow our customer base, which consists mainly of Gen Z buyers, a large population group that will grow in importance and become the leader of new trends in the future," he said.
Miura added that the large number of styling choices offered for the 2023 Mazda2 is to attract young buyers who want a vehicle that reflects their character.
