Mazda Hazumi Concept model, which was showcased at the
2014 Geneva Motor Show. Designed under the lead of chief designer Ryo Yanagisawa, the vehicle adopted the "Kodo" design philosophy created by the brand, and built with
Skyactiv-branded engines, transmissions, body, and chassis loosely derived from the
CX-5. While the model features greater length and wider front and rear tracks, it offers decreased interior room for rear-seat occupants and less front head and legroom. Production began at Mazda's
Hōfu plant in the same month. Sales in Japan began in September 2014. The sedan version debuted at the Thailand International Motor Expo in November 2014. Special editions included the Tamura, adding leather to the SE Air Con model. Production of the Mazda2 for various North and South American markets began in October 2014 at the newly built Mazda de México Vehicle Operation (MMVO) factory in
Salamanca, Guanajuato. Despite being produced in North America, Mazda did not sell the vehicle in Canada or the United States (except in Puerto Rico). Instead, the Mazda2 would be sold by
Toyota Motor North America in those markets between 2016 and 2020 initially as the Scion iA and later the Toyota Yaris iA and simply Toyota Yaris. In October 2014, the Demio was awarded the 2014–2015 "Car of the Year" by the
Japan Car of the Year Committee. The facelift model went on sale in Mexico in October 2019 for the 2020 model year. It comes in three versions: i, i Touring, and i Grand Touring with automatic transmission.

2023 facelift The Mazda2 received a second facelift on 27 January 2023. Changes included a black or body colored insert, larger Mazda logo, restyled front, and a restyled rear bumper for hatchbacks and the GT sedan. A yellow or red grille is available depending on trim selection. New colors, including the Aero Grey Metallic and Airstream Blue Metallic are both available. The Evolve and GT trims add a black interior and red stitching, which was initially only available on the Pure SP trim level. In 2026, the Mazda2 was discontinued in Indonesia. File:Mazda2 (III, 2.

Engines and transmission The Mazda2 uses the automaker's
Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic and
Skyactiv-MT five- and six-speed manual transmissions, as well as the
i-STOP stop-start system, which replaces a conventional alternator and turns the engine off when the car is stationary, and the
i-ELOOP brake energy regeneration system, which uses braking to charge a
capacitor to store energy to power vehicle electronics, when the engine is shut off. The Mazda2 was initially offered with a 1.5‑liter gasoline engine and a 1.5‑liter diesel engine. The diesel, a
Skyactiv-D 1.5‑liter unit, debuted at the
2014 Geneva Motor Show.
Scion iA/Toyota Yaris iA/Toyota Yaris (North America) While the Mazda2 is produced in North America at Mazda's plant in Mexico, the company did not sell the vehicle in Canada or the United States (except in Puerto Rico). Instead, the Mazda2 was sold by
Toyota Motor North America in those markets between 2015 and 2020. In Mexico, the vehicle was sold as the Yaris R, alongside the larger and lower-priced Yaris Sedán (a variant of the
Vios and later the
Yaris Ativ). The Yaris R was sold in three versions. In the United States, the sedan was sold under several names. In the initial 2016 model year, it was marketed under Toyota's youth-oriented
Scion brand as the Scion iA, where it was the only 4-door sedan and only model not to be built in Japan to be marketed under the brand. After discontinuing the Scion brand, the car was rebranded as the Toyota Yaris iA for the 2017 and 2018 model years. For the 2019 and 2020 model years, the sedan was rebranded again as the Toyota Yaris Sedan. When first introduced, like all Scion vehicles, the iA only had one trim level (monospec) and only offered buyers a choice of exterior color and a choice between 6-speed
manual and 6-speed
automatic transmissions. For 2019, with the Yaris Sedan rebranding, the vehicle received a minor facelift, and L, LE and XLE trim levels were introduced with a variety of interior and exterior options. The hatchback variant of the Mazda2 was not initially sold by Toyota, which instead offered a Yaris Liftback based on the
Toyota Vitz (XP130). After the Vitz was discontinued, a model called the Yaris Hatchback, based on the Mazda2, went on sale in October 2019 for the 2020 model year. Exports of both the sedan and hatchback to the United States were stopped in June 2020 due to new regulations and slow sales. In July, it was cancelled in the Canadian market. The Mazda2 based Yaris was also discontinued in Mexico on August 27, 2020, leaving only the Thai-imported XP150 series
Yaris and
Yaris Sedán as its indirect replacements.
