2011 Mazda2 Interior Upgraded for North America

Mazda2 will debut in the North American market this fall but the model will undergo several interior upgrades as compared to the European version. Revealed at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, the North American edition's interior boasts an upgraded audio head unit, higher-grade climate control knobs, and seats with higher-grade fabric and stylish piping, Autonews reported.

Pricing information for the upgraded version is yet to be disclosed.

Mazda was unveiled to the North American consumers at the Los Angeles Auto Show in December and was introduced as the most fuel efficient model ever sold by the Japanese company in this specific region. Power will come from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder powerplant mated to either a five-manual or a four-speed automatic transmission but mileage and performance details are still kept secret.

"Mazda2 will be the most fuel-efficient car in our showroom, and the most fuel-efficient car ever sold in North America by Mazda," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO of Mazda North American Operations, according to AP. "It is everything that the other cars in our lineups are, just in a more focused package."

"Bringing Mazda2 to North America completes the bookends in our lineup. With the seven-passenger crossover CX-9 at one end and the subcompact Mazda2 at the other, Mazda's lineup now spans the most significant product segments in the industry, and is the strongest, best-designed, best-built we have ever offered,” Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, Mazda North American Operations, said back in November.
