The almost nine-year-old Mazda 2 hatch and sedan has received a second facelift, with a local arrival due in mid-2023
The changes are headlined by a mildly-revised front end with a larger front grille, a new X-shaped lower bumper, and more prominent Mazda badging with an integrated radar sensor.
There's also a body-coloured, EV-like plate on the front grille for select versions, while the Mazda 2 hatchback will receive an "asymmetrically placed colour accent on the front grille and rear bumper," similar to the latest CX-5 and CX-8.
Rounding out the styling changes, all hatchback variants, and the range-topping GT sedan, also receive a simplified rear bumper design.
The Mazda 2's colour palette will expand with the addition of two new metallic finishes – aero grey and airstream blue – to join seven paint options currently available in Australia, with one deletion (likely aluminium metallic).
2023 Mazda 2: Tech and interior updates
Inside, there's a larger 8.0-inch infotainment screen still running the ageing, pre-update MZD Connect interface in Japan – but the current 7.0-inch screen will remain for Australia.
A previous update for Japan in 2021 also introduced wireless Apple CarPlay, a wireless phone charger, minor engine enhancements, and a variant with a CX-3 Maxx Sport LE-like interior; however, these changes have yet to be applied to our Thai-built version.
A black roof film will be added to the sportier-looking Pure SP, which was introduced in 2021, while the G15 Evolve and GT will gain red interior accents.
There's also new black leather/suede upholstery, "aero-focused" 16-inch alloy wheels and dual exhaust outlets for the flagship G15 GT.
In addition, a shark fin antenna will sit atop G15 Evolve and GT variants.
It is the second facelift for the nine-year-old Mazda 2, with a comprehensive update in late 2019 adding a redesigned front, more active safety features, and other new technology – but at a higher cost than the pre-facelift version.
