Overview

The 2014 Mazda 2 hatchback makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact hatchback segment. With 2 trims on offer, the 2014 Mazda 2 hatchback has a base MSRP of $14,720, competing directly with the Ford Fiesta, the Chevrolet Sonic, and the Toyota Yaris. Only a 1.5L Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission with a 4-speed automatic transmission as optional. Together, they produce 100 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 9.9 seconds, the Mazda 2 hatchback maintains a combined fuel economy of 32 MPG. Mazda offers the 2 hatchback in 6 stunning colors, with the Jet Black being a particular favorite of ours.
