​New look 2023 Mazda2 to make UK debut in the spring​

The ever-popular Mazda2 has undergone a significant makeover, with new external style and interior decor. The 2023 Mazda2 comes with a redesigned grille, a slimmer bumper design, decorative dash panels, and two exterior colours that make their Mazda debut on the supermini: Aero Grey and Air Stream Blue across the four newly named trim grades: Centre-Line, Homura, Exclusive-Line, and Homura Aka.

In order to give customers more opportunities to express their uniqueness through a larger range of colour combinations across the four model grades, Mazda's designers have concentrated on new design elements for the 2023 Mazda2. The Homura and Homura Aka have been created to give the Mazda2 a sportier style and character, while the Centre-Line and Exclusive-Line are focused on a fun and informal attitude.

Across all models the 2023 Mazda2’s new grille sees the signature Mazda wing surround pass beneath rather than below the number plate, leaving space to accentuate the new sportier lower bumper trim and shape. Additionally, to give a sharper look, the signature wing grille surround cuts into the leading edge of the headlight rather than passing underneath, while asymmetrically placed colour accent tabs feature on the front grille and rear bumper across all models.

The 2023 Mazda2 has a distinctive new style thanks to the huge coloured panel that spans the lower section of the grille on the Centre-Line and Exclusive-Line models, as well as the redesigned front bumper design and more prominent lower grille section with a gloss black signature wing surround. In order to give customers more colour combination options, the grille panel is body coloured on Soul Red Crystal, Snowflake White, Platinum Quartz, Polymetal Grey, and the new Air Stream Blue colour, while it is Jet Black on Machine Grey, Deep Crystal Blue, Ceramic Metallic, and the new Aero Grey colour to create a stylish contrast. The grille panel on Jet Black vehicles is also Jet Black.

The new rear bumper on all Centre-Line and Exclusive-Line vehicles has a now full-width black bottom moulding with the yellow accent tab. This design element is mirrored in the grille of all of these vehicles. Exclusive-Line vehicles upgrade to 16-inch bright alloy wheels from the usual 15-inch silver alloy wheels found in Centre-Line vehicles.

Inside, the Centre-Line and Exclusive-Line cars there’s a similar colour combination style with a new decorative dash panel that is mint coloured on Air Stream Blue and Ceramic Metallic cars for example. On Soul Red Crystal, Snowflake White, Platinum Quartz and Polymetal Grey cars the dash panel is pure white, while the remaining exterior colours get a mirror black finish.

Differently, the Homura and Homura Aka 2023 Mazda2 has been created to be a more sporty rendition of the Mazda2. The Homura uses the Mazda2's well-balanced Kodo design and the new, more streamlined bumper design to its advantage. It sports a gloss black honeycomb grille with a red accent tab, matching door mirrors, 16-inch black alloy wheels, and a black shark fin roof antenna. The red accent is located in the lower right corner of the black bumper trim strip towards the back
