The Mazda Demio is a supermini manufactured and marketed globally by Mazda since 1996, currently in its fourth generation. The Demio is marketed prominently as the Mazda2 and under previous nameplates including Mazda 121, Mazda Metro and Ford Festiva Mini Wagon.

The third generation Demio earned the 2008 World Car of the Year title,[1] while the fourth generation was awarded the 2014–2015 "Japanese Car of the Year".[2]

In Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, the Demio DJ model is sold by Toyota as an iteration of the Yaris sedan. In the United States, it was initially marketed under its youth-oriented Scion brand as the Scion iA. After August 2016, it will be re-branded as the Toyota Yaris iA due to the discontinuation of the Scion marque.

Origin

Originating with the introduction of the Mazda 121 in 1987, this B-segment small car was based on the Mazda D-platform. Ford also used a version of the first-generation DA 121 known as the Ford Festiva. Mazda later released the Autozam Revue in 1990 with the next generation of the D-platform DB. It was redesigned for January 1993, still based on the same DB platform. Kia also built versions of the DA and DB, both for itself and for Ford's sale as Ford Aspire in the United States which Kia sold as the Pride and Avella.

When it came to redesigning the Revue, Mazda came up with a tall hatchback, minivan-esque package (the Revue was already over 1,500 mm (59.1 in) tall). Introduced in a time full of negative press coverage, the Demio became a surprise hit for Mazda in Japan, and also foreshadows the current crop of B-segment minivans such as the Opel Meriva, Fiat Idea and the Renault Modus.

A concept model previewing the DW series, called the Mazda BU-X was shown in 1995.[3]

At its introduction in 1997, it won the Automotive Researchers' and Journalists' Conference Car of the Year award in Japan.

Production of the new Demio started in July 1996 (sold as the 121 outside Japan) used the DW platform. Ford retailed a version in Japan as the Ford Festiva Mini Wagon. In 1998, the Mazda logo was changed from the previous logo to the current logo. The Demio was updated in 1999 with a revised exterior, cabin air filtration, retuned automatic transmission, and available DSC due to a 2002 redesign.

Production

The original DW model was produced in Mazda's Colombia plant as "Mazda Demio" until the end of 2007, when it was replaced by the DE model.

The Demio was redesigned in 2002 on the DY platform. The Demio name continued in Japan, while the rest of the world dropped 121 and other names in favor of Mazda 2. Since debut, 2 has been well received by the market pushing its Japanese domestic sale to as high as 7th place.

2002–2004 Mazda 2 (DY) Genki (Australia)

The badge-engineered Ford version, the Ford Fusion, is no longer made, as Ford began importing the Ford Fiesta on the Global Ford B3 platform which is based on Mazda's DY platform.[5] The car is produced for Europe at a Ford plant in Valencia, Spain.

All Demios come with ABS and EBD, and stability control is optional. An innovative feature offered in Japan is e-4WD, a hybrid car-type system which uses an electric motor to power the rear wheels of this front wheel drive vehicle when needed. In the Demio, this system is used only as a traction aid, not for increased fuel economy as in most other vehicles.

Three trim levels were available in Japan, Cozy, Sport, and Casual.

In Europe, trim levels were S, TS and TS2. The TS and TS2 were renamed Antares and Capella in 2004. The Japanese 1.3 and 1.5 gasoline engines are not available, but Ford's 1.25-liter 16 valve Sigma engine is used, and Mazda's 1.4 (in engine block is pressed Ford Motor CO) and 1.6 gasoline, plus Fords 1.4 TDCi diesel are offered, but called 1.4 CDTi by Mazda. (Virtually all the engine parts are interchangeable with the 1.4 Diesel versions of the Ford Fiesta and Ford Fusion of the same period).

The Mazda 2 is sold with a variety of Z-family engines:

In 2004 Mazda introduced the Verisa in Japan. The Verisa is based on the Demio but targeted further upmarket. This version of the Mazda 2 takes 108mm PCD, four-stud wheels, the same as the Ford Fiesta, Fusion and Escort, though with a slightly different offset.

Initial release

The third generation Demio is built on the new DE platform, which Ford also used for the 2008 Ford Fiesta. It deploys light weight material and reduces the overall dimensions of the car.

The vehicle was unveiled in 2007 Geneva Motor Show.[7][8]

The lead designer for the new model was Ikuo Maeda, who was later promoted to Head of Design at Mazda in 2009.[9]

Japanese version

Sales of production vehicles began on 5 July 2007 at Mazda, Mazda Enfini and Autozam dealers.[10]

European version

The vehicle was unveiled in 2007 Geneva Motor Show,[11][12] and later in 2007 Shanghai International Motor Show.[13]

A three-door variant was released for the European market in 2008. Engine choices include the MZR 1.3-liter and 1.5-liter gasoline, MZ-CD 1.4-liter common-rail turbo diesel. In some EU Member States like the Netherlands, there is the option to buy the gasoline car in bi-fuel LPG version from the factory. This model was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva International Motor Show.[14][15]

North American version

The North American version of the Mazda 2 was unveiled at the 2009 LA Auto Show,[16] and later in 2010 Canadian International Auto Show,[17] making it Mazda's first subcompact in North America since the 323 was discontinued in the United States in 1994 (1995 in Canada). The Mazda 2 became available in July 2010. The only engine available is the 1.5-liter, 100-horsepower four-cylinder matched to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.[18]

The Mazda 2 received a "Good" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in frontal crashes, "Acceptable" for side crashes, "Good" for roof strength, and "Acceptable" for rear crash protection.[19]

Chinese version

The Chinese model of the Mazda2 in five-door hatchback body style was unveiled at the 2007 Guangzhou Motor Show.[20] A Chinese four-door sedan model of the Mazda 2 was unveiled at the same event,[21] with sales beginning in January 2008.[22]

Reports of a new generation of the Mazda Demio emerged in 2013[52][53] for a 2014 launch, with some manufacturing at the new Mazda plant in Mexico.[51][54] The Mazda Hazumi Concept model (designed to preview the future Mazda 2 models) was unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show,[55] and in April 2014 the development mule of the new generation Demio was undergoing testing in Germany, covered in camouflage.[56][57][58]

Mazda2 Genki hatchback (Australia)

In July 2014, Mazda officially revealed photos of the fourth generation Demio hatchback,[59] and production began at Mazda's Hōfu plant.[60] The sedan version debuted at the Thailand International Motor Expo in November 2014.[61][62]

The fourth generation is based on a variation of Mazda's CX-5 platform, rather than Ford's DE platform used on the Ford Fiesta,[63] and features greater length, wider front and rear tracks, decreased interior room for rear-seat occupants and less front head and legroom.[64]

In October 2014, the Demio was awarded the 2014–2015 "Car of the Year" by the Japan Car of the Year Committee.[2]

Despite the North American variant being manufactured in Mexico, Mazda USA announced that the Mazda2 hatchback will not be sold in the US market, except in Puerto Rico, due to low sales of the previous generation model. The sedan variant, however, will be marketed in the US by Toyota as the Scion iA.[65]

For the Canadian market, the DJ series Mazda2 was confirmed at the 2015 Montreal International Auto Show, however its launch was postponed to early 2016 to allow Mazda Canada focus on the launch of the CX-3 and the redesigned MX-5. On 16 November 2015, Mazda Canada decided to not launch the 2 because they found the car not suitable for the market as well a shift towards subcompact crossovers. However, as in the US, the sedan variant is marketed as the Toyota Yaris sedan.[66]

Engines and transmission

The Mazda2 uses Mazda's SkyActiv-Drive six-speed automatic and SkyActiv-MT five- and six-speed manual gearboxes,[67] as well as stop-start technology ("i-STOP" turns the engine off when the car is stationary) and a brake energy regeneration system ("i-ELOOP" uses braking to charge a capacitor for all car electronics, in place of an alternator charging a battery).[67]

The Mazda2 will initially be offered with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a 1.5-liter diesel engine—the SkyActiv-D, 1.5-liter diesel engine debuted at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.[55] The gasoline engine will be available with 74 bhp, 89 bhp or 113 bhp, while the diesel will produce 104 bhp.

Wankel electric version

Driving Canada stated in June 2014 that Mazda's future was to introduce electric vehicles, starting with an electric Demio.[68][69] The magazine repeated this soon after, implying a statement by Mazda Australia managing director Martin Benders, and said that it would not be revealed at the new Mazda2's global launch. Both described a car based on the rotary-powered range-extender technology that was recently trialed in the outgoing Mazda2. The Electric Vehicle would be a series hybrid, or "Extended Range Electric Vehicle" (EREV), meaning that the electric motor would drive the car, and a generator would only charge the battery.

The 1280 kg car would have a 200 kg, 20kWh lithium-ion battery pack, powering a 75 kW/150Nm electric motor. The prototype range extender incorporates a 28 kW rotary engine generator, a lightweight (100 kg) downsized (330cc) single-rotor Wankel engine, and Driving Canada specified a 20 kW Wankel engine for the new release. It would be mounted on its side under the car's boot (trunk) via three mounting points (eliminating vertical vibration), and in the prototype testing showed the rotary engine was over 5dBa quieter at the same revs than an equivalent gasoline or diesel piston engine.

A 10-liter fuel tank that can be filled with gasoline, butane, or propane would almost double the EV range (to 380 km). Range extended EVs in Japan and many US states can not receive incentives if they use a tank size which would provide more than double the EV-only range.

Scion iA and Toyota Yaris sedan

In November 2012, Toyota announced that the next generation Yaris sedan would be manufactured alongside the Mazda2 at Mazda's Mexico plant. The new car was marketed in the US as the Scion iA, which made its debut at the April 2015 New York International Auto Show. Visually, the Scion iA distinguishes itself from the Mazda2 with a different front bumper and grille design. The Scion iA was the marque's first four-door sedan[48][70][71][72] and the first model not to be built in Japan. This will be the only variant of the Mazda2 (DJ) to be sold in the US.[65]

In the United States, the Scion iA sold 7,605 units in 2015.[73] Due to the discontinuation of the Scion marque, the model will be re-branded as the Toyota Yaris iA after August 2016 for model year 2017.[73][74]

In Canada, the Yaris features a 106 hp (79 kW), 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with both six-speed manual and automatic transmission options. Standard-equipped features are plenty, and include power-adjustable heated exterior mirrors, keyless entry, cruise control, power windows and power door locks.[75][76] This is the only variant of the Mazda2 (DJ) sold in Canada.

In Mexico, the car is sold as the Toyota Yaris R and marketed alongside the Belta-based Yaris sedan.[77] The car will have also the same features as the Canadian model and it will be sold in three versions.[78] However unlike the Canadian version and the Scion iA, the Yaris R does not feature cruise control nor a pre-collision warning system, and it is the only version of the rebadged sedan which has a leather steering wheel. The Scion iA is also sold in Puerto Rico as the Toyota Yaris R, due to the popularity of the previous generation Yaris sedan, which was discontinued.[79]
