The launch of the new 2015 Mazda 2 looks to be nigh – the latest ad on our sister classifieds site oto.my lists deliveries to start between end-January and early-March, so the local introduction should be held at an earlier date. The copy estimates a price of between RM85k-RM88k, right in the ballpark of the indicative pricing teased by Bermaz in October – RM85k for the sedan and RM87k for the hatchback.
Specifications and equipment for the Thai-assembled fourth-gen DJ listed in the ad pretty much mirror the tentative spec sheet – power comes from a 1.5 litre SkyActiv-G petrol four-pot with direct injection and a 14.0:1 compression ratio, producing 115 hp and 148 Nm. Channeling the power to the front wheels is a six-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission.
Kit count appears to be high for the B-segment, with keyless entry, push-button start, Mazda’s MZD Connect infotainment system complete with a seven-inch LCD touchscreen, paddle shifters, a reverse camera, leather seats, automatic air-conditioning, i-stop automatic start-stop system and even a head-up display. The only area it seems to fall slightly short is in safety – just two airbags, although stability control is fitted.
According to the ad, the new 2 will come in four colours – Soul Red, Meteor Grey, Aluminium and White. A three-year/100,000 km warranty and a three-year/60,000 km free service package is said to be offered, just like other Mazda models sold here.
We’ve of course driven the 2015 Mazda 2 before, and you can read our impressions here. You can also check out our coverage of the Indonesian-market version, as well as the world premiere of the sedan at the Thai Motor Expo last November.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the blog post about the 2015 Mazda 2 reveal excitement for Mazda's claimed driving connection and safety features like SkyActiv-Body, but many are disappointed with the car’s safety equipment, noting it only has 2 airbags at a high price point, which they feel undermines safety. Several users compare it unfavorably to competitors offering 6 airbags for similar or lower prices, criticizing Mazda Malaysia's safety standard choices. Price discussions alsoulate, with some arguing the car is overpriced due to high taxes, and others mentioning that hatchback variants are more expensive than sedans due to packaging and tax reasons. Overall, there is enthusiasm for the design and features, but strong dissatisfaction with safety equipment and pricing.
