The new model will feature changes to the exterior and interior inline with Mazda's latest designs, add some new technology and all 5 models will be powered by the new mild system paired with a 1.5 litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine.
The new hybrid powertrain is similar to other mild hybrid systems whereby energy is recovered whilst braking and stored in a modest-sized battery, this can later be used when starting from a standstill. This puts less stress on the engine and allows the engine to be shutdown for longer periods in traffic.
The starting price for the 2020 Mazda2 will be £15,795.
