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.

Nathan was an absolute star throughout the entire leasing process. He was incredibly helpful in guiding me towards choosing a car that suited both my needs and budget, making sure the monthly payments and rental terms were just right for me. He was informative, patient, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Nathan went above and beyond to secure the best deal on the car I wanted and genuinely took great care of me from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend him enough — if you’re thinking of leasing, definitely get in touch with him. 100% recommend!
I got a good deal and the process was explained well. Richard Taylor kept me informed at each step
Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, Darren guided me through but everyone else I spoke to along the way was just as helpful, Thank you
