Sharp new look for Mazda2 Hybrid

Here’s the new and improved Mazda2 Hybrid, with the revised supermini set to arrive in the UK early next year.

The Mazda2 Hybrid isn’t to be confused with the regular Mazda2.

As you might have guessed from the name, the Mazda2 Hybrid is a frugal self-charging hybrid that shares a lot in common with the Toyota Yaris, while the more straightforward Mazda2 is available with a traditional petrol engine.

And it’s the Mazda2 Hybrid that has been given unique new style features, including a fresh front bumper and grille design.

We’re talking here about subtle tweaks rather than the rewriting of any rulebooks.

But it is an attempt by Mazda to differentiate the Mazda2 Hybrid from the Toyota Yaris hybrid - with Mazda and Toyota collaborating on the two cars.

The revised front grille appears to have turned the Mazda2 Hybrid’s frown upside down, with the new bumper looking a bit cheerier than before!

Full UK pricing and specifications will be released before the facelifted Mazda2 Hybrid hits the UK leasing market in March next year.

We do know it’ll be offered in four new grades: Centre-Line, Exclusive-Line, Homura and Homura Plus.

Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director Mazda UK said: “The Mazda2 Hybrid is a popular addition to our line-up in the UK and we have good demand for the car in our dealerships and it’s great that from next March it will feature a greater element of Mazda exterior design personality. With the Mazda2 Hybrid sold alongside the recently updated Mazda2, which offers our customers extra individuality with more distinct model grades, increased colour choice and refreshed styling, we are giving customers in the supermini segment the choice of two distinct models, depending on their needs”.

You can lease the current Mazda2 Hybrid with Select Car Leasing from just £264 per month*.
