Thanks to new cushioning materials added throughout the cabin, reduced space around the Pillar B base, upgrades to sound insulation and revised rubber seals, occupants will be able to benefit from the reduced cabin noise and external vibrations.

Engines and Transmissions - Mazda 2 UK Presentation 2019

The Mazda2 2020 is available in the UK exclusively with a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine offered with two power outputs: 75ps and 90ps. The 75 ps engine is available in the ES-L version, while the 90 ps engine represents most of the range and is offered in the ES-L Nav, Sport Nav and GT Sport Nav versions.

For the first time in the Mazda2, the naturally aspirated 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-G petrol engine is paired with Mazda's M-hybrid hybrid system for lower operating costs and solid environmental credentials. Standard on all manual-fueled SKYACTIV petrol engines, the Mazda M Hybrid uses a small belt-integrated starter (B-ISG) to capture and store kinetic energy from regenerative braking and reuses it for improved efficiency. . As a result, manual versions of the Mazda2 have emissions as low as 94-95g / km and a economy of 53.3mpg in the combined cycle. All models now have a six-speed manual SKYACTIV transmission as standard, while in Sport Nav you can also choose a six-speed automatic transmission SKYACTIV-Drive.

When developing the 1.5-liter engine, Mazda engineers avoided the current trend of exploiting proven technology, such as forced induction and engine size reductions, and opted for a fundamental rethink that would allow them to have right size '. The result was the 1.5-liter alloy engine that uses state-of-the-art technology, including direct fuel injection, low-friction design and a 13: 1 compression ratio for both power engines. , to deliver high levels of economy, refinement and flexibility without compromising on performance.

On the SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine, the upper dead center temperature remains lower than that of the state-of-the-art engine, halving the level of residual exhaust gas from eight to four percent. , at the same time as introducing a 4 in two extended and in loop - one exhaust system prevents exhaust gases from leaving a forced cylinder inside another's combustion chamber. In addition, the piston heads are fitted with cavities to prevent the initial flame from hitting the piston and interfere with the flame growth, and at low temperature. Rust, an exothermic reaction in which the bonds inside the gasoline molecules break off and produce energy, was exploded to further increase the torque over the entire range of revolutions.

The 90ps variants use an innovative four-two-one exhaust manifold, which reduces the compression temperature in the cylinder to help prevent bumps (unwanted premature ignition), enhance the sweeping effect and this efficiency of combustion, and deliver additional torque, especially at low engine speeds. The standard 75ps power version of the 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine has a 13: 1 compression ratio, variable valve timing on the intake manifold only, and a four exhaust manifold in a simpler one. Despite its smaller exhaust, simpler valve timing, lighter engine cover and smaller oil pump, this version still produces more torque than the Mazda's 1.3-liter MZR petrol engine.

Working in tandem with the Mazda M Hybrid, all Mazda2 2020 versions are also equipped with standard i-stop go-to-stop technology. Developed entirely internally and specifically designed for application on Mazda's SKYACTIV engines, the i-stop aneu-li-stop system uses combustion energy to restart the engine, and requires only one electric starter to provide a small momentum during the initial restart phase.

SKYACTIV's lightweight six-speed manual transmission, found on both 75ps and 90ps models, offers the same quick, precise, and effortless gear changes as MX-5 drivers enjoy. The key to achieving this fast and decisive gear change action is a larger gear ratio, but this in turn effectively shortens the internal stroke. To counteract this, Mazda's transmission engineers developed a small column module that allows exceptionally accurate synchronizer and torque transmissions even with the desired 45mm shifter stroke. The shift effort gradually falls during the gear shift action, resulting in reassuring resistance during the initial movement of the gear lever, followed by a lighter touch to create the tangible feel of the gears that they fit snugly into place.

The six-speed transmissions, which combine competition torque with lower internal drag, require 45% less transmission oil than previous generations. The SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic transmission used on the Mazda2 is a smaller, lighter version than the SKYACTIV-Drive variant used on the new Mazda3, Mazda6, and Mazda CX-5. As with these models, the key requirements were great fuel economy, a direct and engaging feel, smooth and quick shifts and quick responses.

driving - Mazda 2 UK Presentation 2019

Considered one of the best-performing cars in the supermini segment, the updated Mazda2 2020 has the same 'Love to drive' spirit in its heart as the rest of the Mazda range. Mazda has always had a fondness for low weight and, like the rest of the range, the updated Mazda2 benefits from the company's radical SKYACTIV technologies. Its steering, suspension, brakes and aerodynamics have been engineered and developed under Mazda's intense 'gram strategy' to deliver an excellent combination of athletic agility, driving comfort, low weight, improved economy and improved levels of performance. refinement and security.

At the center of this skill set is the Mazda2's innovative, lightweight and ultra-rigid chassis. While ensuring the disparate goals of designing a new chassis that was both lighter and more rigid, Mazda's engineers developed an advanced straight, continuous body structure in which each body section works in a coordinated manner with they surround her.

With empty weights starting at only 1,134 kg (including the 75 kg driver) for the 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-G and 75-liter gasoline with the SKYACTIV-MT manual transmission, it is one of the lightest members in the supermini segment.

Already a well-regarded supermini for its handling, the subtle upgrades to the 2020 model have enhanced its driver appeal with changes that include the use of a urethane upper mount on the rear shock absorbers to improve driving quality and power steering reviews to improve response and feel.

Mazda2 2020's dynamic enhancements also include the introduction of G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus), the evolved version of Mazda's GVC system. Making its debut on the new Mazda3, GVC Plus is the second generation of Mazda's vehicle dynamics control technology and has evolved to use brakes now to apply direct control of yaw movement in addition to control. of the previous system engine. Advanced technology allows the car to handle itself better in emergency avoidance maneuvers, and offers more inspiring control ability to be trusted in a variety of situations, including high-speed lane changes and driving on slippery roads.

safety - Mazda 2 UK Presentation 2019

Mazda2's 'triple H' SKYACTIV-Body structure, comprising 65 percent high tensile strength steels, provides an incredibly strong and lightweight protective safety cell around driver and passengers. Standard adjusting safety equipment includes: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Emergency Stop Signaling (ESS), Slope Hold Assist (HHA), and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The supermini is also equipped with six airbags (double front, side airbags and full length curtain airbags), ISOFIX anchor to the two outer rear seats - five three-point seat belts, 4 with pretensioners (not available on rear central seat belt). )

Optimized side and curtain airbags have a greater ability to cover not only the pelvis but also provide greater levels of protection against impact on the chest and abdomen. Naturally, the head areas for the front and rear occupants are completely covered.

In addition to the active color driving screen displayed on the GT Sport Nav flagship, this high-end model also benefits from a standard rear-view camera, giving drivers a clearer picture to take. making parking easier than ever and highlighting the potential risks of backsliding.

Mazda's suite of advanced i-Activsense security technologies helps drivers stay aware of potential risks and avoid them. Standard on all 90ps models, Advanced Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is designed to automatically stop the car or slow down the car when there is a risk of collision with the vehicle or pedestrian at the front.
