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.[60][61] 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.[62]

The range extender test car was a version of the Mazda2 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.[62] 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).[63]

The Mazda2 uses Mazda's SkyActiv-Drive six-speed automatic and SkyActiv-MT five- and six-speed manual gearboxes[87] 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).[87]

The Mazda2 is initially 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.[74] The gasoline engine will be available with 74 bhp, 89 bhp or 113 bhp, while the diesel will produce 104 bhp.

In 2014, Mazda de México Vehicle Operation began production of the Mazda2 in Salamanca, Guanajuato for various North and South American markets.[88] This plant also produces a sedan version of the Mazda2 for Toyota with minor styling changes, with the vehicle sold in the United States as the Scion iA[89] and in Canada as the Yaris sedan.[90] The car is sold in Mexico as the Yaris R.[91]

The Scion iA was the marque's first and only 4-door sedan[65][92][93][94] and the first and only model not to be built in Japan.

In the United States, the Scion iA sold 7,605 units in 2015.[69] Due to the discontinuation of the Scion marque, the model was re-branded as the Toyota Yaris iA from August 2016 for the 2017 model year.[69][95]

In Canada, the Yaris features a 106 hp (79 kW), 1.5-liter ZY-VE 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.[96][97]

In Mexico, the Mazda2-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.[98] The Yaris R sold in three versions.[99] 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,[100] both the United States[3][4] and Canadian[101] 2019 Yaris sedans are offered in L, LE and XLE trim levels with a variety of interior and exterior options.[67]

In 2019, the Mazda2 hatchback was rebadged as the Yaris hatchback with a front fascia similar to that of the Yaris sedan, for the 2020 model year. The new model made its debut at the 2019 New York International Auto Show in April of that year.[102] The United States and Canadian market 2020 Yaris hatchback is offered in LE and XLE trim levels. In the United States, this vehicle went on sale in October 2019 and replaced the XP130 Vitz-based Yaris Liftback, which was discontinued in January 2019. Unlike the United States, XP130 sales continued in Canada for the 2019 model year, similarly being replaced by the rebadged Mazda2 hatchback for the 2020 model year.[103]

Both the Mazda2-based Yaris sedan and hatchback will be discontinued in the United States after the 2020 model year due to new regulations and slow sales.[5]
