Mazda2 Neo in more detail
More detailed contextMazda2 Neo at a glance
Optimized for city driving with front-wheel drive, focusing on efficiency and safety.
Price around 20000 makes it good value in its segment, with seating for five.
Performance and efficiency
Combined consumption of 5.5 L/100 km keeps running costs down, and 0–100 km/h in 8.5 s is responsive for urban traffic.
Power is a modest 90 hp with 150 Nm, and top speed is 180 km/h—adequate for everyday use rather than performance driving.
Practicality and safety
The 250 L trunk suits light errands; frequent cargo-heavy trips may stretch its limits.
A 5-star safety rating and a reliability score of 78 align with strengths in safety and dependability.
If you need a different size or character, consider the listed alternatives: Mazda3 2.0, Ford Fiesta 1.1 Ti-VCT, or Ford Focus.
