Paris Motor Show Debut for Facelifted Mazda2 and New 1.6-liter Turbo Diesel

Mazda has announced that the refreshed Mazda2 will be given its European premiere at next month's Paris motor show. The Japanese firm also plans to introduce a new 1.6-liter turbo diesel for the Mazda5 MPV and Mazda3 sedan and hatchback models at the show.

Just like its North American counterpart, the European market spec Mazda2 benefits from a new nose job with a reprofiled bumper and Mazda's smiley face grille, along with some minor interior upgrades.

Other improvements include a tweaked chassis for better ride comfort and the introduction of a new automatic transmission variant, while all engines in the Mazda2 lineup now comply with the Euro 5 emissions standard.

Mazda will also premiere a new 1.6-liter turbo diesel engine for the Mazda5 MPV and Mazda3 models. The new diesel produces 115HP and is matched to a six-speed manual transmission, returning a combined fuel economy of 5.2lt/100km (45.2mpg US) on the Mazda5 and 4.4lt/100km (53.5 mpg US) with CO2 emissions of 117g/km on the Mazda3.

Mazda Launches Subtly Refined Verisa Subcompact Hatch in Japan

Despite the introduction of a newer generation of the Demio, which is known as the Mazda2 in overseas markets, Mazda continues to offer a crossover-ish version of the previous model called the Verisa in Japan. The tall subcompact hatch, which is pretty much the Japanese equivalent of Europe's Ford Fiesta (previous generation) -based Fusion, enters the 2011MY with some modest updates.


These include the introduction of new colors for both the fabric and leather seats, a revised instrument panel that includes a fuel consumption gauge and an "eco-lamp" to support economical driving, restyled hub caps and improved standard equipment on some model grades. The refined Verisa goes on sale in Japan from today.






__________________________________________________________________


Main features of the freshened Verisa


Design (interior and exterior)


• The Verisa C features new Coral Brown fabric seats, which are brown in the middle and beige on the sides
  
• The Verisa L has new Cool Black leather seats with a black and sand-colored two-tone design.
  
• To match the new seats, the Verisa L has a black and sand-colored leather-wrapped steering wheel.
  
• Both grades have a newly designed instrument panel with blackout meters.
  
• Newly designed hub caps for both the 14-inch and 15-inch wheels.
  

Equipment (functionality)


• Automatic headlights and front rain sensing wipers (which automatically switch on according to ambient conditions), and water-repellant coating (on the front door windows and door mirrors) are standard equipment on the Verisa L grade.
  
• A fuel consumption gauge (showing average fuel consumption) and an eco-lamp have been added to the instrument panel on all model grades.

Refreshed 2010 Mazda2 Hatchback and New Sedan Variant Heading to Australia

A subtly updated version of the 2010 Mazda2 will make its way to Australian showrooms in May in hatchback and for the first time, sedan body styles. Aside from the new looks and the addition of the longer, four-door sedan to the range, the 2010 Mazda2 also heralds the change of production as the refreshed model will now be sourced from the company's new factory in Thailand instead of Japan.

As with the North American version of the car, the styling tweaks on the revamped Aussie-spec Mazda2 are mostly concentrated up front and concern the new front bumper that incorporates the firm's smiley-shaped lower grille, darker head light clusters and the revised upper grille.

Both body styles of the new Mazda2 will continue to be powered by a 76kW / 102HP 1.5-liter petrol engine hooked up to either manual or automatic transmissions.

According to Mazda's Aussie division, the new sedan version which boasts 450 liters of boot capacity will come equipped with several standard features including 15 inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, power windows and mirrors, as well as front, side and curtain SRS airbags, and ABD with EBD.

Spot the Differences: North American 2011 Mazda2 Interior Revealed at Canada Auto Show

After comparing photos of the interiors of the North America and European Mazda2 the only visible differences we spotted between the two models concern the relocation and redesign of the glove box on the passenger's side and the new seat trims. Other than that, the interiors of the N.A.- and Euro-spec Mazda2 are identical.

This is the first time that Mazda showed off the North American Mazda2's interior after the small hatchback's debut at last year's LA Show.

On this side of the Atlantic, the Ford Fiesta's platform-partner will go on sale this summer with the five-door body style and a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, with more details expected to be announced closer to its launch.
