The Mazda 2 is the car that is seen as the first entry to the Mazda brand, and is based on the concept of “a premium personal car that enriches everyday life”. Rather than compete with its rivals in the B-segment which are seen as more entry-level, the focus for the Mazda 2 is on high quality and improved driving experience. The 2020 Mazda2 features styling enhancements and now comes equipped with enhancements to its driving dynamics as well as to comfort and convenience.
Premium Inside Out
Other than the updated badge and font design, the Mazda 2 exterior has been updated to feature a new front grille design that provides a sense of unity with the some of the newer 7th generation products such as the Mazda 3 and CX-30. The Mazda 2 also features Front LED lights with new signature styling coupled with new 16-inch alloy wheels with enhanced texture and high-brightness paint.
Further, the 2020 Mazda 2 interior features a comfortable space with a new blue gray interior trim to create a sense of balance quality and playfulness through carefully selected materials that are built to match the diverse lifestyles of customers. The 2020 Mazda2 also receives Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® as standard. It is accessible via its MAZDA CONNECT Infotainment display. With the increase in popularity of smartphones, customers can now experience more seamless connectivity – by accessing integrated apps such as Waze®/Google® Maps, Spotify®, and other phone functions.
Improved Driving Dynamics And Comfort
As for driving dynamics, the 2020 Mazda2 comes equipped with G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus). The original G-Vectoring Control, the first technology in the Skyactiv-Vehicle Dynamics series, was the world’s first control system to vary engine torque in response to steering inputs in order to provide integrated control of lateral and longitudinal acceleration forces and optimize the vertical load on each wheel for smooth and efficient vehicle motion. The updated GVC Plus uses the brakes to add direct yaw moment control for further enhanced handling stability. As the driver steers out of a corner by returning the steering wheel to the center position, GVC Plus applies a light braking force to the outer wheels, providing a stabilizing moment that helps restore the vehicle to straight line running.
The system realizes consistently smooth transitions between yaw, roll and pitch even under high cornering forces, improving the vehicle’s ability to accurately track sudden steering inputs and crisply exit corners. In addition to improving handling in emergency collision avoidance manoeuvres, GVC Plus offers a reassuring feeling of control when changing lanes on the highway and when driving on slippery road surfaces.
Driving comfort has also been enhanced with a tuned suspension system for smoother vehicle movement and comfortable ride. New structured front seats that improve the driver’s sense of balance, enhancing the sense of unity with the car and making driving easier. The transmission has been tuned for smoother acceleration which minimises the head and body movements of passengers. By applying the human-centered development philosophy to all kinds of common driving situations, Mazda will continue to pursue the kind of driving joy that allows both the driver and his or her passengers to feel at one with the car.
