The Mazda2 Hatchback is the brand’s subcompact hatchback offering in the Philippines that utilizes the brand’s KODO – Soul of Motion design theme. It’s the smallest vehicle in Mazda’s lineup. Following the sultry design of its bigger brothers, the Mazda2’s lines around the body go smoothly with the head and tail lights, giving it a dynamic look. A 16-spoke wheel and skirts around the body give it sportiness, enhancing the overall allure of the Mazda2.
Beyond the doors is a 5-seater, with a 7-inch touchscreen LCD monitor (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) in the middle for entertainment that can be controlled via buttons on the steering wheel or through the rotary Commander Control near the gear shifter. It also has paddle shifters, active driving display, and automatic climate control. New in the Mazda2 Hatchback is the G-Vectoring Control Plus, which is part of the brand’s series of new-generation vehicle dynamics control technology. GVC Plus uses the engine’s torque to distribute power among the wheels based on steering input. By optimizing the vehicle load among the wheels, it enhances the car’s handling and riding comfort. In short, more fun in driving with less to non-existent body roll.
Mazda Philippines launched the facelifted Mazda2 Hatchback, along with its sedan brother, in December 2019. The subcompact hatchback adopts the meshed grille of the bigger Mazda cars, aligning it with the Japanese marque's current design language.
Under the hood is a 1.5L SKYACTIV-G 16-valve engine that produces 108 hp with 139 Nm of torque. It’s coupled to a SkyActiv-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission with Sport mode that can be turned on with a flick of a switch near the shift knob.
The Mazda2’s suspension setup is McPherson struts in the front and torsion beam axle at the back. Front and rear brakes are ventilated discs and solid discs, respectively.

The 1.5L SkyActiv gasoline engine inside the Mazda2 Hatchback’s bonnet matches the engaging feel behind its steering wheel. Granted, its 107 hp and 139 Nm of torque are less than what its rival, the Honda Jazz RS, can produce. However, the six-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission did its job well to send that power to the front wheels with precise timing.
In terms of handling, the Mazda2 Premium Java has a light steering feel, which makes it very maneuverable within tight city streets. That loose steering feel tightens as you reach 60 km/h and above, which, in combination with the car’s G-Vectoring control, accounts for more precise steering. It made driving on winding roads feel safer and more comfortable. Braking, on the other hand, was a cinch with its front and rear disc brakes.
The Mazda2 Hatchback’s 7-inch floating touchscreen infotainment, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, is navigation-ready and works passively in the background. It displays upcoming intersections on the top of the screen, while road speed limits are detected and also displayed on the head-up display (HUD), together with your current speed. Convenient driver-assist features are present, too, such as automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, backing camera, rear proximity sensors, and speed-sensing door locks.
The Mazda2 Hatchback follows the Kodo design language that’s observed on every Mazda vehicle. The sole Elite variant of the Mazda2 Hatchback comes with LED headlights but its daytime running lights are halogens.
The Mazda2 Hatchback is available in the following color options: Snowflake White Pearl, Soul Red Crystal, Jet Black, Titanium Flash, and Eternal Blue.
The Mazda2’s interior elements match the car’s price as it’s filled with soft plastics and polyurethane trims for the standard variants. The Mazda2’s ergonomics is well thought out, as well. Space inside the Mazda2 Hatchback is a bit limited for individuals taller than 5’6”.
While looks are subjective, the Mazda2 Hatchback’s design is done tastefully and something that would appeal to the general population of car buyers. You’ll also like the slew of tech features that it offers and its impressive fuel efficiency, which tops at 23.6 km/L on the highway during our tests.
On the other hand, it’s hard to deny that the Mazda2 Hatchback is a bit pricey for its class. Its interior space is also limited, especially at the back.
