The all-new 2016 Mazda Mazda2 will go all-in with SKYACTIV powertrain and chassis technologies when it starts production this fall in Japan, then likely arrive in U.S. dealerships either late in 2014 or early in 2015.
When it does, folks will be able to enjoy the same kind of high-efficiency, zoom-zoom driving experience offered in next-gen Mazda vehicles like the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5, as well as a fresh execution of the brand's "Kodo: Soul of Motion" design language, and most of the automaker's latest technologies, too. The company already has confirmed that the 2016 Mazda Mazda2 will offer both
its newest connectivity system and the i-ACTIVSENSE suite of safety measures, and it's further worth mentioning that the vehicle that presaged the new production car—the Hazumi concept—also boasts the i-ELOOP regenerative braking system and stop/start technology.
