The price list for the 2015 Mazda 2 SkyActiv has surfaced on Facebook ahead of the B-segmenter’s launch later this month. An OTR without insurance figure of RM85,470 is stated, for both the sedan and hatchback.
Some equipment is also mentioned, including 16-inch alloys, leather seats, keyless entry and start, a seven-inch MZD Connect touch-screen with Commander Control knob and reverse camera, shift paddles, auto climate control, i-stop start/stop system, DRLs and get this – a head-up display, which even our Mazda 3 doesn’t have. Navigation is listed as a RM1,200 option.
The only safety kit listed here is traction control, although if our oto.my ad is to be believed, the Malaysian-spec Mazda 2 will come with two airbags and stability control. No mention has been made anywhere of the i-Activsense safety suite.
The oto.my ad also indicates Soul Red, Meteor Grey, Aluminium and White body colours, as well as a three-year/100,000 km warranty and three years’/60,000 km of free service.
In the new Mazda 2, a 1.5 litre SkyActiv-G petrol four-cylinder engine with direct injection and a 14.0:1 compression ratio sends 115 hp and 148 Nm of torque to the front wheels through a six-speed SkyActiv-Drive auto.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments express mixed reactions to the Mazda 2 pricing and safety features. Many are concerned about the car's RM85,470 price, feeling it is somewhat high for a compact vehicle, especially given only two airbags are included, which some find insufficient. Safety is a recurring concern, with calls for more airbags and better safety features to align with market expectations. Others praise the engine technology and design, noting the value compared to competitors like Honda Jazz, Vios, or Kia Picanto. There’s discussion about potential CKD pricing reductions, the sedan versus hatchback aesthetics, and the value proposition of the car's specs. Overall, the sentiments range from cautious optimism to disappointment over safety features, with some considering the Mazda 2 a strong contender if priced appropriately.
