Mazda unveiled the fourth generation of its small-sized vehicle, the 2, in 2023, and the brand’s aficionados were in shock since the car was, actually, a re-badged Toyota Yaris.

One of Japan's favorite superminis, the fourth generation of the Mazda Demio (also known as the Mazda2) was first released in 2014 and got a new makeover in 2019. It now looks fresher, however, not only the exterior design was updated, but some technical features as well. The hatchback's front and rear bumpers, front grille and headlights were updated to create a premium quality appearance.

The fourth generation of the Mazda 2 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2014. It was the first Mazda 2 built from scratch after the separation with Ford Motor Company.

Mazda unveiled the 2 at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, and it was an instant success. Even though it was based on the same platform as the Ford Fiesta, its design attracted more eyes than its blue-oval badged sibling.

The Mazda 2/Demio was the second generation for the Demio name and it was based on the European Ford Fusion platform. It was the beginning of the cross-over era.
