Irvine-based Mazda today gave media a first glimpse of the U.S.-bound Mazda 2. The car will be the smallest offered by Mazda North American Operations, falling below the Mazda 3 in the automaker’s lineup.
This high-mileage subcompact has earned Car of the Year awards in more than 20 countries overseas since its launch in 2007. The L.A. Auto Show marks the U.S. debut of this highly anticipated vehicle. With an overall length of 155.51 inches, this B-segment car is about about 5 inches longer than a Toyota Yaris and more than 20 inches shorter than its bigger brother, the Mazda 3. Here are some specs on this new little five-passenger hatchback:
