Mazda 2 Review
The Mazda 2 aims to take on the likes of the SEAT Ibiza and the Volkswagen Polo, but is this small city car showing its age, or can it still hold a candle to its main rivals?
Compact family hatchbacks don’t get much more tempting than the Mazda2 Hybrid - coming as it does with eye-catching styling, an impressive list of kit as standard, and a frugal self-charging powertrain.
The Mazda2 Hybrid - updated and refreshed in 2024 - is actually a very different car to the regular Mazda2, the latter of which has a traditional 1.5-litre petrol engine.
A Mazda2 Hybrid, lease however, features an electrified powertrain to lower CO2 emissions while significantly improving fuel efficiency.
Read moreThe Mazda2 Hybrid's design was significantly updated in 2024, with revised bumper shapes at the front and rear coming courtesy of Mazda’s European Design Studio in Germany.
A 59 kW electric motor combines with a 1.4 litre petrol engine to create power of 116 hp. The Mazda2 Hybrid never needs to be plugged in, either, as it recoups kinetic energy through deceleration and while braking.
And not only is the Mazda2 Hybrid affordable to lease in the first place, you can also enjoy fuel economy of up to 74.3mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 98-87 g/km, depending on the trim level and whether you opt for 15 inch or 16 inch alloys.
There’s 286 litres of luggage space in the Mazda2 Hybrid, which is more than you can expect with rivals such as the Suzuki Swift or Hyundai i10, and which also trumps the stowage in the traditionally-fuelled Mazda2.
Even the entry-level trim unlocks a generous amount of creature comforts.
You can expect dynamic radar cruise control, lane trace assist with lane centring, a reversing camera, wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, a 9-inch colour screen and six-speaker audio system.
The Mazda2 Hybrid is also sprightly, covering 0-62mph in just 9.7 seconds and carrying on to a top speed of 109 mph.

In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
I made a number of enquiries into leasing a car and Select came up with the best deal. I dealt with James Bamber who very helpful in dealing with my many questions. They were very easy and straightforward to deal with and would not hesitate to in using them again. Calls and email answered promptly.
The gentleman who was assigned to my lease went above and beyond his duty. I was in a problem due to lack of a vehicle and needing it to travel to an important race (for wife), and he arranged for the vehicle to be delivered in time. Hats off to Jerette Mauthe, I owe you a beer !
First time leasing a car and didn’t know what to expect but couldn’t be happier. I had the pleasure of dealing with Michelle Timmis who was brilliant and so helpful. Michelle explained everything step by step and made the process so simple. Would definitely recommend. Thank you
