Chronology

Autozam Revue

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 the United States, the Demio is sold by Toyota with slight styling changes as an iteration of the Toyota Yaris sedan. In the United States, it was initially marketed under Toyota's youth-oriented Scion brand as the Scion iA. For the 2017 model year, it was re-branded as the Toyota Yaris iA due to the discontinuation of the Scion marque. For the 2019 model year, the iA moniker was dropped.[3][4]

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 the Ford Aspire in the United States which Kia sold as the Pride and Avella. The name "Demio" is derived from Latin meus to show possession, which in many Romance languages has become "mio."

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 foreshadowed 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.[5]

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 and Europe) used the DW platform. Ford retailed a version in Japan as the Ford Festiva Mini Wagon. In 1998, the Mazda logo was changed 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.

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 its debut, the 2 has been well received by the market pushing its Japanese domestic sale to as high as seventh place.

2002–2004 Mazda 2 (Germany)
Interior

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.[7] Production of the car for European market started at Almussafes Ford plant in Valencia, Spain on 20 January 2003.[8]

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 version of the Ford Fiesta and Ford Fusion of the same period).

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

Mazda Demio:

  • 1.3 L ZJ-VE I4 91 PS (67 kW; 90 hp) at 6000 rpm, 12.6 kg⋅m (124 N⋅m; 91 lb⋅ft) at 3500 rpm
  • 1.5 L ZY-VE I4 113 PS (83 kW; 111 hp) at 6000 rpm, 14.3 kg⋅m (140 N⋅m; 103 lb⋅ft) at 4000 rpm

Mazda 2:

  • 1.25 L MZI C2 70 PS (51 kW; 69 hp) at 5700 rpm, 110 N⋅m (81 lbf⋅ft) at 3500 rpm
  • 1.4 L MZI C4 80 PS (59 kW; 79 hp) at 5700 rpm, 124 N⋅m (91 lbf⋅ft) at 3500 rpm
  • 1.6 L MZI C6 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) at 6000 rpm, 146 N⋅m (108 lbf⋅ft) at 4000 rpm
  • 1.4 L MZ-CDTi Diesel 68 PS (50 kW; 67 hp) at 4000 rpm, 160 N⋅m (120 lbf⋅ft) at 2000 rpm

In 2004 Mazda introduced the Verisa in Japan. The Verisa is based on the Demio but targeted further upmarket.

The third generation Demio is built on the new DE platform, which Ford also used for the 2008 Ford Fiesta. It employs lightweight materials and reduces the overall dimensions of the car.

The vehicle was unveiled at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show.[11][12]

The lead designer for the third generation was Ikuo Maeda, who was later promoted to Head of Design at Mazda in 2009.[13]

For the Japanese Domestic Market, sales of production vehicles began on 5 July 2007 at Mazda, Mazda ɛ̃fini and Autozam dealers.[14]

The Mazda2 launched at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show,[15][16] and later at the 2007 Shanghai International Motor Show.[17]

Mazda2 three-door hatchback (2008) 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 Motor Sho.[18][19]

The North American version of the Mazda2 debuted at the 2009 LA Auto Show,[20] and later at the 2010 Canadian International AutoShow.[21] The Mazda2 became available in July, 2010 with the 1.5-liter, 100 hp four-cylinder and 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.[22]

Mazda discontinued the Mazda2 in the United States after the 2014 model year.[23]

The Mazda2 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.[24]

The Chinese model of the Mazda2 in five-door hatchback body style launched at the 2007 Guangzhou Motor Show.[25] A Chinese four-door sedan model of the Mazda 2 was unveiled at the same event,[26] with sales beginning in January, 2008.[27]

The sedan body style was manufactured in Thailand and China and marketed only in Southeast Asia, Australia, South America and the Caribbean.

In Australia, the Sedan was introduced along with the facelifted Hatch in May 2010, with the Sedan being offered in a single 'Maxx' grade. In February 2011 however, Australia had reverted to Japanese sourced production, which lead to the discontinuation of the Sedan being offered, after just 9 months on-sale.

Demio EV (2012–)

The Demio EV is a limited (100 leased units) production electric vehicle for the Japanese market. It includes a 346-Volt 20kWh lithium-ion battery with 200 km (124 mi) driving range. Leasing began in October, 2012.[50][51] 70% of Mazda2 BEV owners said they weren't happy with the 124-mile range of their electric car, even though they never needed more.[52]

Prototype Range Extender for EV (2013)

The range extender test car was a version of the Mazda 2 prototype electric car with a 0.33-liter rotary engine, lithium-ion batteries, 75 kW electric motor driving front wheels and 10-liter fuel tank.[52] This would double the range of the Demio EV, meeting Japanese requirements that the fuel tank and engine not provide more range than the electric motor. The 1,280 kg (2,820 lb) car would have a 200 kg (440 lb), 20 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, powering a 75 kW (102 PS; 101 hp) / 150 N⋅m (15 kg⋅m; 110 lb⋅ft) electric motor. The prototype range extender incorporates a 28 kW (38 PS; 38 hp) rotary engine generator, a lightweight 100 kg (220 lb) downsized single-rotor Wankel engine with 330 cc (20 cu in) displacement mounted on its side in the rear of the car. A 10 L (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal) fuel tank that can be filled with gasoline, butane, or propane was claimed to almost double the EV range to 380 kilometres (236.1 mi).[53]

Interior

Reports of a new generation of the Mazda Demio emerged in 2013[61][62] for a 2014 launch, with some manufacturing at the new Mazda plant in Mexico.[60][63] The Mazda Hazumi Concept model (designed to preview the future Mazda 2 models) was unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show[64] and in April, 2014 the development mule of the new generation Demio was undergoing testing in Germany, covered in camouflage.[65][66][67]

In July, 2014, Mazda presented photos of the fourth generation Demio hatchback,[68] and production began at Mazda's Hōfu plant.[69] Sales in Japan began in September, 2014. The sedan version debuted at the Thailand International Motor Expo in November, 2014.[70][71]

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[72] and features greater length, wider front and rear tracks, decreased interior room for rear-seat occupants and less front head and legroom.[73]

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 would not be sold in the US market, except in Puerto Rico. The sedan variant, however, was marketed in the US by Toyota as the Scion iA.[74]

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.[75]

Engines and transmission

The Mazda 2 uses Mazda's SkyActiv-Drive six-speed automatic and SkyActiv-MT five- and six-speed manual gearboxes[76] 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).[76]

The Mazda 2 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.[64] The gasoline engine will be available with 74 bhp, 89 bhp or 113 bhp, while the diesel will produce 104 bhp.

Scion iA and Toyota Yaris

2016 Scion iA sedan
Toyota Yaris iA sedan

In 2014, Mazda de México Vehicle Operation announced production of the Mazda2 in Salamanca, Guanajuato for various North and South American markets.[77] At the 2015 New York International Auto Show in April of that year, it was announced that this plant would produce a sedan version of the Mazda2 for Toyota with minor styling changes, with the vehicle to be sold in the United States as the Scion iA[78] and in Canada as the Yaris sedan.[79] In July 2015, it was announced that the car would be sold in Mexico as the Yaris R.[80]

The Scion iA was the marque's first and only 4-door sedan[55][81][82][83] and the first and only model not to be built in Japan. This would be the only variant of the Mazda 2 (DJ) to be sold in the US.[74]

In the United States, the Scion iA sold 7,605 units in 2015.[59] Due to the discontinuation of the Scion marque, the model was re-branded as the Toyota Yaris iA after August 2016 for model year 2017.[59][84]

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. Features include power-adjustable heated exterior mirrors, keyless entry, cruise control, power windows and power door locks.[85][86]

In Mexico, the Mazda-based Yaris R is sold alongside the more austere and lower-priced Yaris Sedán, which from early 2018 is a version of the Asian-market Toyota Yaris ATIV, and was previously a variant of the Toyota Vios.[87] The Yaris R sold in three versions.[88] 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.

For the 2019 model year, the United States version was renamed again as the Yaris sedan, receiving a minor facelift with a new grille insert and trim changes.[3][4] Unlike the previous models, which offered only exterior colors and a choice between 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions as factory options,[89] both the U.S.[3][4] and Canadian[90] 2019 Yaris sedans are offered in L, LE, and XLE trims with a variety of interior and exterior options.[57]
