2020 Mazda 2 1.5 Hatchback Facelift Review in Malaysia, RM100k for 2 Airbags?! | WapCar

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- The 2020 Mazda 2 Facelift 1.5 SkyActiv saw the price of this little B-segment hatchback skyrocket to above the RM 100k mark - for a B-segment hatchback!
Safety kit remains the same as the pre-facelift model which boggles the mind because there are only 2 airbags. In a market where the Perodua Axia has autonomous emergency braking, it is quite difficult to justify the Mazda 2.
However, if you look at the Mazda 2 purely based on the spec sheet alone, the Mazda 2 does not make sense. So, who would buy the Mazda 2 then? Watch on to find out.

as a current mazda owner here, i definitely feel you! Mazda jinba ittai feeling isnt just for show! Sport mode + paddle shifter + flooring the pedal, Dang!!! THat sensation is priceless!
Always good reviews from Wap car 👍👍
I use the shifting stick more often than the paddle shift ... because I think Mazda placement of shifting stick purely induce spirited driving (the downshift is push forward rather than backward, this is a very right decision!) . AND the shifting with stick is so ergonomic and natural because mazda put sensors on human body to analyze the best posture and movement for shifting when driving.
i heard from somewhere that this car assembles the closest driving experience to the icon MX-5 in mazda line up due to its smallest size..
yes i agree not everyone can afford a RM103k car (thanks to exercise duty) and not everyone will agree with it's price to value CP ratio. if you are the one who love driving and still want this car perhaps secondhand mazda2 is your choice. But u gotta take some calculated risk and do studies about second hand first before getting one.
To Adrian, I totally feel you. I was shocked that quite some number of motor journalist own a mazda 2. I somehow think that mazda 2 is a car that can ignite the passion of motoring within people. I would like to know more about your stories with Ikuo Maeda san
I had been watching lots of video about Mazda design philosophy and concept to appreciate my car more.
i use both. only straight line i use paddle. on windy road i use stick. its really fun going up genting with a manual shifter or cameron highlands. bring back my good old memory driving manual kancil always hunting for the rpm and speed.
5:27 I feel you bro!
Nice work!! You deserve my subscription SIR! I'm coming from GREECE 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Hi Adrian great review! Looking forward on your review for the Peugeot 208 Puretech.
Hi, Adrian. Nice review 😁👍
Hi YB, thanks!
Yes Adrian! I am also proud as a 2015 Mazda2 hatchback owner, and i love it!!
Even compare it to my very own latest X70, i still love driving the Mazda2!
If i am now in the B segment hatchback market,hell yes will choose it again.
Glad you're enjoying your Mazda 2 and X70, consider sharing your story with us on WapCar! www.wapcar.my/activity/shareyourstory
Thanks to your great review of this mazda2 hatch sir this is it my dream car through god well
Since my father rejected Mazda 2, i went to 89K Std X70. But still love the Mazda 2 dashboard tho.
Great car too!
Bermaz is really talented when it come to pricing
Best car I’ve owned . Smooth as a whistle. Character and Quality . Pleasure to drive .
may i know which year your car model? im considering to buy a 2nd hand
MK92 MK92 Sport Nav 90 . Excellent build quality . All in all great little car . Very happy with it .
@@vimtocrazy739 is that the 2019 version?
If iriz and myvi with that price maybe its a autonomous driving level 4😅
😂
Really torn between Mazda 2 or Peugeot 208. I love small hatchbacks.
What are your thoughts?
i am going to buy Mazda 2 soon
was considering Mazda CX5 2021 2.0cc Rm136k OTR with Insurance
then i actually dont need big suv , extra CC and road tax
So now considering Mazda 2 (2020 First Hand Model)
thanks for your videos , yes i dont need airbag , i need the car to perform , save petrol , push start button , and bring me from A to B , with cheap price
How's your Mazda 2 doing Adrian, still pouring Ron 97? After price increase. Or switched to Ron 95?
Would you recommend this for someone who wants to drive a bmw1 series but prefer not to spend too much.
I would love to own a Mazda but the prices is ridiculous compared to other imports..
Just go for the second hand 2015 model, can save rm50k but still got almost the same level of enjoyment as this. I think the pre facelift units looks better
Have same thought on saving more. Facelift front look is more premium, unfortunately the back does not able to match the front. Seems like premium front and low cost backside.
Better go for the 2017 GVC models. Improved NVH and GVC is well worth the extra cash.
Used Mazda 2 is now a very attractive proposition
I want change my mazda 2 2015 to golf tsi mk7 2013. What ur opinion?
the adrenaline rush when driving it spiritedly , "you won't even care if it doesn't come with airbag" LOL SAME , ... haha (2 airbag is due to the legal regulation in Malaysia haha) , but still gotta be rational because I think airbag plays crucial role in reducing injury during the impact to steering wheel generated from crash.
rational and emotional is always the polar. just like the soft and hard suspension. we can have both with some 'linkage' such as good chasis ie.TNGA. or tune it to the fine balance between sport and comfort, just like proton ride and handling..
Saying people won't care about it being two airbags while demonstrating the engine performance is pretty ironic tho
103k abit too high, if previous price of 90k then still can swallow the extra premium for it I guess
Premium b segment hatchback or sedan with all full spec should around 80k to 88k
@@hanisrosli5484 yup, but mazda usually abit more expensive than usual Japanese brands, so 90k still boleh tahan abit la kot for me haha
@@adkan1995 Yes, many people bought the Mazda 2 at the previous price of circa RM 90k
@@WapCar even then at 90k it seemed like a hard pill to swallow cause of the compromises (small space, 2 airbags, etc etc) haha
@@adkan1995 😅😅
I see the tradeoff here, with similar price, Indonesian model got the cruise control although no more leather seat on the top spec and getting Fabric instead(we call it "GT" here). It is interesting to know why Mazda Malaysia opt out from Cruise Control and getting Leather seat instead ? Are the competitors also missing out on cruise control ? For comparison here in Indonesia, most competitors(Jazz, Yaris, Baleno) still retain fabric seat, so it is a reasonable choice for Mazda Indonesia. Although, I want to put the OEM leather seat to my 2020 model Mazda 2, the dark blue-ish colour looks really cool.
Also I think the Malaysian model is missing all the sensors (Blind Spot Monitoring, RCTA, Rain Sensing Wiper and maybe the light sensor for auto headlight ?) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think these are harder to retrofit than leather seat although not essential when you are driving the car.
Most top-spec B-segment cars in Malaysia comes with leather seats, hence the Mazda 2 is on par with the competition on that front
Oh, I like the cruise control. It s hard to trade either one off. It s good to have both leather seat and cruise control in Mazda 2.
I'm waiting for newest 2023 mazda 2 facelift coming end of this year.
in sporty driving is the maxda 2 better than the hyundai i 10n?
Thanks bro,so many info that i got from u guys,so i decide to buy used mazda2 2015 for my wife as now i am also drive mazda3,sapa yg bawak mazda jek tau mcm mana feel dia tu,hehehe

Very nice natural lighting in the video (y) not too harsh sunlight
Hi Adrian, is the paddle responsive enough, any lag?
Responsive and snappy enough
No brainer price,Mazda should look into pricing if wana survive in the long run
Their CKD products are priced competitively
@@WapCar still high
mazda 2 1.5 (b segment) RM103k
honda civic 1.8 (c segment) RM109k
proton x70 executive 1.8T (c segment SUV) RM106K
woww B segment car but price like C segment and only come with 2 airbags another woww
😗
Bermaz auto pricing
Aiyoo I feel like it should come with Armrest la, for that price and Mazda brand 😕
True, Mazda Australia offers an accessory for that
Hi Adrian want to ask you iv have. Mazda 2 seden 2016 I thought want ot upgared to honda city rs senden I did test drive why I feel like the Honda intrem of diving still a lack behind my mazda 2 isit only me think of this way.
I own 2018 GVC low spec sedan. The price was rm72k. For me it's reasonable price, and if u compare to low spec vios/city/jazz. More or less the same je the price. But I chose mazda2 becoz of the rear disc brake( Susah B segment nak ade rear disc brake). Kalau compare low spec Mazda2 vs low spec vios/city/jazz - mazda2 menang la for me. Kalau compare high spec lain cerita plak.. Boleh jadi competitive if compare with city/vios/jazz highest spec.
That time high spec mazda2 was 90k. Tu pun ak rasa mahal dah. Haha. Skang 100k. GG mazda2.
Haha memang mahal dan spec tak competitive. Tapi driving satisfaction tu lain cerita
The only car that i drove from KL to Kedah with only rm60-65 full tank, crusing definitely above 130km/j.., and upon arrival, still have more than 1/2 tank fuel left
As compared to honda civic 1.5 turbo, honda jazz...u can't compare the fuel efficiency in mazda
But once u reach out 140-145km/j, u lost the torque as compared to honda civic, and the car somewhat "unstable" when drive above 160km/j as compared to honda civic
So pros and cons i guess 😅
And the cabin noise.., am not sure my mazda 2 still the loudest as compared to honda civic
Proud owner of mazda 2
Wife owned honda civic upgraded from honda jazz
You need better tyres. Wider. I tried 175kmh on bumpy highway to klia, as stable as 120.
Cabin noise is high. But engine noise is surprisingly low and smooth sounding. drove the new city recently, even half throttle engine noise was unbearable rough sounding
@@zhi8970
Can suggest which tire profile that offer most stability?
Am using hankook currently
5:25 i agree with you too... i buy the car bcuz i want fun driving (as the person who is paying the car), not chauffeuring other people (as the person who is not paying the car) hehehehehehe
so if the rear legroom is as cramp as my 1999 AE111 rear legroom also i dont mind
I rather it nvr facelift and price maintained 70k-90k.
Is this current Mazda 2 a CBU from Thailand?
Yes, CBU Thailand
Yep, if you buy a small car, mostly you will use it for yourself without any passengers
I Personally think that this is more affordable. because When watching proton x70 CKD MC 2 and Mazda 2 hatchback. I Could Save my Money on Getting Mazda 2 instead of getting x70 executive
I agree with your statement, Mazda 2 is for those who choose with their heart. I have a 2017 Mazda 2 LED and I love every minute driving it. However, if I were to get this Mazda 2, I will get it once it hits the pre-owned market. Low mileage, yet covered by Mazda pre-owned division.
For some reason your leg on the wheels at 2:03 reminds me of Top Gear hahaha
Nice! We'd love to hear your story on WapCar - www.wapcar.my/activity/shareyourstory
@@WapCar What's the process? Just submit via messenger?
Can the city hybrid beat this?
City hybrid can beat everyone 😜
Haha, I got u! Same language, Mazda2.
Hi Adrian, may I know what’s the difference between driving satisfaction (Mazda 2) and faster cars in the same segment (eg vento)?
I test drive vento before and doesnt feel wow at all.. this mazda 2, the 1st turn you take you can feel the sharpness of the steering and your body move along too.. it just make any turn effortless
kongsi ajer Thank you for explaining. living in the city, I enjoy quick acceleration which allows me to overtake easily. Does the Mazda 2 provide this as well?
@@KOBEROCKS777 mazda 2 acceleration is in average only.
Mazda 2 feels a lot more connected and organic. You'll feel that it's a car made for people who enjoy driving. The Vento has a punchier powertrain than the Mazda 2 so depends on how much power you need
People, Mazda 2 is a rich person's AXIA. If you know u can't afford it, then just diam and jalan. Don't complain. Old design's high spec was RM95k. In my opinion, adding another RM9k (95K+9K= RM104K) for all the new goodies and its new design new head & taillights, I dare to say it's WORTH the price to pay for. I own one, 2015 model high spec variant, and I still feel every penny was worth spent.
Btw, I love ur reviews bro. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Why cant complain? Do u still encourage car maker to sell vehicle without 6 airbags with price above 100k? Look at previous vios and altis, after so many people complain then they now put full safety feature in their new models.
@@ranceng6560Correction: "Don't complain so much."
@@ranceng6560 Just pray that Mazda will listen to complains and add more airbags in MZ2. I don't mind paying RM100+ for a 2020 MZ2. After all, it all depends on your wallet bro. Like I said, MZ2 is a rich person's 'Axia'. If u disagree, then a MZ2 is not your 'Axia', maybe a car from another brand with a lower price tag :)
Mazda has always appealed to the niche 😃 Thanks for the compliment!
"dont complain" bruh, what statement is that? we complaint so this car manufacturer can improve their service and quality and listen to what consumer want.
4:29 *TOYOTA YARIS*
😶
They should put 2.0L or 1.8K diesel into this to make class of its own. Even selling 120K. It will sell
I don't think so.
Mazda is trying to keep costs down by lowering variety. This is a city cruiser and not really made for high acceleration.
They even tried something similar with the 115hp 6-speed version with the previous model. It just didn't sell enough to warrant the additional cost.
I currently own a 2017 90hp and am absolutely fine with the power output. I have to admit I'll probably be adding a 2019 MX5-RF to my Mazda 2 because I want more fun driving around.
I guess depends on region and market needs.Many factors i guess, as of RM103k in malaysia offering, u can get C segment cars with full of airbags, better performance. In this level n segment they should make it more affordable or otherwise. Make ppl think twice y should choose mazda2 than c segment.
Moreover to make it cheaper, there is no 70-90PS offering here. Again if it does it won't sell considering there are couple of good offering from other brands in these segment. High performance good safety n lower price
2.0L got. It’s called the CX3
Haha, but consumers are already unwilling to pay RM 100k for the Mazda 2
@@WapCar They should juz spec up a little on CORE SPEC to have MZD to sell within competition.
If pass 100k should need good performance to reach another playground like 208GTI class. Small but powerful
Just asking folks who watching this currently, when was the last time your airbags deployed in a minor/major accident?
If you are buying for 40k it's okay. But it's 100k
Infact malaysian driving style in 140kph. U will still die in accident having hundreds of airbags. I believe in car stability n maneuverability during d moment b4 accident.
@@wbtoo6945 if someone hit you at the right door, without curtain airbag, head injury is unavoidable
If I'm 110% sure accident won't happen to me,I definitely will throw the air bad away. But once accident happen,you wish you have more air bag.
What??? Now still got people think airbags is unneccessary???
Good video. Too bad for overpriced Mazda
Em... just wondering how many people really care the car can fit big bottle or not?
Our video host Adrian does
worth if you have money and always drive alone.. other than that, it is not worth at all.. the space is so small.. comparable to axia/picanto
The thing is, I would never get the driving experience I get from a 2 in its competition. You just have to pick your poison.
100K and not even an arm rest
Nice car but way too expensive 😕
Car for forever alone person.
That's Adrian for you
bro, your words hit my kokoro hahaha...
Thts true...
why is it the car for a forever alone person?
Maaza should move on with their 6sp gearbox. I have driven lots of mazda cars and their gear changing character is always kinda 'slow' and makes the engine rev a lot. It makes the engine scream like hell which is not a good thing unless it's a v8 or v10. My 5 years old bmw 8sp zf is way smoother and lighting faster and even the Honda City's cvt feels more effortless than my friends new mazda 2 when I tested. Just hate the gb character. Nevertheless it has the best cabin and quality compared to other b segments
The BMW 8-speed ZF is indeed the best in the business
The GB logic actually works perfectly if you drive on the faster side of the road. I drove very spirited (getting runs and more) bmw and vw, all these so called great gearbox is always 1 to 2 gears too high. Especially the vw. So everytime you want a quick acceleration, the GB has to downshift few gears. I used to think the draggy nature of the GB is annoying on highway and I tried to manually control the shifts. guess what, I realise it’s the right logic. When I shift manually, I would also drag the gears a bit, keeping the car on lower gear and sweet spot of the power band. As a driver, I rather have noisier driving experience than slow and unpredictable response. Not saying that the GB is perfect and always shifts perfectly, but it the least annoying GB for spirited drivers.
100k you can get segment c car
True, plenty of other options at this price point.
Really Rm103,000 is too hard to digest especially in this segment .... A vios or city would be an alternative
Or and X70
My iriz manual average 7.5l/100km 😁
Better buy used Mazda 3, at least for me
Better buy A class/ mini cooper if u talk bout used car with this price.
How bout 2nd BMW 3 Series？🤣🤣
Not bad alternative but I'm actually not confident to buy used Conti huhu 🙈
The asking price is bullshed, can already opt for vios or city.
Civic 1.8
Can even afford x70 for all the space in the world. 🤣
That's true, but the Vios and City doesn't offer the same levels of driving engagement
Only you drive mazda you can't go back to Toyota or honda. It's incomparable.
despite only offering 2 airbags.. for a 100k ringgit car why dont Mazda give us LED back lights tho🥲 rear end so outdated
Nop, pls don't buy it. Don't encourage Mazda to price this car more than rm100k with such specs. Honda learned their lesson with the jazz. Pricing it more than rm100k from their previous model, not many buyers bought it
😶😗
105/55r16??? 205/55r16.....
Price not right esp. for the Malaysian market.
No choice, CBU model haha
I bought my Honda Jazz base model with rebate at RM65K. This Mazda is a joke
Great value!
Lol, this looked like forced review to justify how this car has advantages. Already a 5 yr model 2 airbag, gvc(no one cares), not even a armrest, a 103k car(vl be bloody high insurance and interests), soo yeah😅😅
From the bottom of Adrian's heart!
@@WapCar I will be lying if i said i have not driven this car. I had the 2016 model for a week wif me and i really did fell in love with it then. Back tgen my friend brought it for 88k for full spec, navi, led light and stuffs. But the price increment is waaay too high now to justify its premium standings😅
Just too expensive...
Unfortunately...
They should sell it at RM65k then it will sell. At >RM100k, way overpriced.
City is going to tapao this hatchback
City can tapau Camry, Vios & Bezza 😁
such a nonsense prie for B segment car, at that price it should be completed with full package especially terms of safety, what a waste n of course not gonna b best seller model
Gotta blame it on Malaysia's excise duty structure
I'd say its the shittiest in the segment. Imagine being able to buy a premium x70 but instead get a... Mazda.. 2......
Well thats what he said normal consumers ahah why ppl pay millions for a lamborghini rather than buying another banglow ? Hahaha
@@Amazarushi cant disagree with you, but that comparison is out of context than my comment...
That's why the Mazda 2 is not a sensible choice. It's an emotional decision
haiz... just buy the jazz
bApak mahal..
RM 100K for this? Poor value for money. Even Toyota is better! Heck, a Hyundai Ionic is a better buy!
Bermaz is really taking Malaysians for a ride.
Fully imported model while the Yaris/Vios, City/Jazz and Ionic are locally assembled models with excise duties and import duties rebate
Organic shapes in car designs usually doesn't age well... And sorry to say, all Mazda models look too alike. The designers are a lazy lot i would say... As for this Mazda2, its just too overpriced!
Doesnt age well?! If this is considered not aging well, i guess honda city and vios can be considered disgusting looking already? And actually looking alike works for a lot car brands these days like bmw and Merc
@@Yddp3307 try parking this Mazda 2 side by side with a VW Polo 1.2TSI and you'll get what i mean. Yup, that's why Merc and Bmws are pushing their luck too.
@@nickloong my opinion the mazda 2 look better then polo. But polo age well too because of their mature and simple design. Same goes to all vw audi car design, they all have a little bit boring and simple design compare to the rival but look good enough and age well. Just look at audi A4 b8 as a example, not the most beautiful car but still look good today unlike his rival in the same era that already look out dated. But i also think mazda can age well because they are not to crazy and have simple body line but yet so beautiful unlike honda or toyota. Especially the mazda 3
@@nukmandanish5595 It's so shallow to say that those who complain about the price of the Mazda 2 can't afford it, Lol!
It's overpriced based on the specs and what the car got to offer for the premium pricing. As a smart consumer, most would rather add on a couple thousand more and they would be looking at a reputable C segment car instead of a B segment. All it takes is only a couple hundred ringgit more per month instalments to move up to a larger sized class of cars. Its value for money we are talking about, not whether one can afford it or not. 😂
@@nukmandanish5595 how about fiesta?? Or maybe can go for the last generation mazda 3 bigger car and drive as good if not better. Can even get the f10 3 series. If you talking about new car it still not worth the money. People that appreciate good driving car probably will go for secondhand car. Most of the people that buy new car at this price point are probably people that just use car as a transportation.
Wasting money
💸💸
Ugly angry bird design and cramp space + poor safety features for overprice car.
😕
why u sell your mazda2 and never get a new one??????????
