The 2010 Mazda 2 Hatch and Sedan
While the 2010 Mazda2 line-up has been joined by a sedan bodystyle, the overall styling of Mazda's smallest offering is largely an update of the outgoing 2009 model.
Adopting the styling language now found on the Mazda6, Mazda3, RX-8, MX-5, CX-7 and CX-9, the new Mazda2 gets the same five-point 'smile' lower grille and large, vertical foglight housings.
The upper grille has been touched up, now featuring a slimmer design top to bottom, extending downward in the centre to accommodate the large Mazda badge.
The sedan, identical to its hatch sibling at the front end, features a rear-end that is both distinctively different, yet clearly inspired by the wider Mazda range.
According to Mazda, the sedan variant, 247mm longer than the hatch, offers superior aerodynamics thanks to its longer and straighter roofline.
The 2010 Mazda2 Sedan is fitted with 15-inch wheels as standard, while the range-topping Genki hatch features 16-inch alloys and a sportier body kit with fog lights up front.
Eight colours are available for both bodystyles, with six of them being a mica or metallic finish. Best of all, the classier mica/metallic paint jobs are a no-cost option for the Mazda2, while some competitor
models carry up to a $400 premium for the option.
With 450 litres of storage capacity in the boot compared to the hatch's 250 litres (469 litres with the rear seats down), Mazda Australia Marketing Manager Alastair Doak said the Mazda2 Sedan will help
the model reach a different type of customer.
“Having listened to customer feedback and studied the light segment very closely, we believe that the new Mazda2 sedan offers the potential to engage with a whole new set of customers,” Mr Doak said.
The Mazda2 sedan, available only in the middle-of-the-range Maxx trim, features a noticeably wide opening, while link-type hinges work to maximise storage space.
As with many models in its class, the rear seats of the Mazda2 sedan fold down to make room for longer items in the boot.

The Mazda2 line-up features air-conditioning, power windows and power mirrors as standard, along with remote central locking, driver's seat height adjustment and a four-speaker audio system with USB and Aux connectivity.
Electronic stability and traction control are standard across the range.
Other safety features include side and curtain SRS airbags, anti-lock brakes and Electronic Brake-force Distribution and emergency brake assist.
