Mazda2 sedan confirmed for Australia

Mazda has confirmed that a sedan variant will be added to the Mazda2 range later this year.

Returning for the first time since 2010, the Mazda2 sedan – like the Mazda6 and Mazda3 sedans before it – incorporates the elegant styling of Mazda’s ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language.

Like its hatchback sibling, Mazda2 sedan will be available with two transmission types, the 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic and 6-speed SKYACTIV-MT manual, and with two 1.5 litre petrol engine choices.

The standard SKYACTIV-G petrol engine delivers 79kW of power and 139Nm of torque, while the more powerful high-spec alternative puts out 81kW of power at 6,000rpm and maximum torque of 141Nm at 4,000rpm.

It offers fuel economy figures from as little as 4.9L/100km and Smart City Brake Support will be available as an option across the range.
