Mazda Released Upgraded Demio with Improved Fuel Economy in Japan.
The Mazda2 delivers all the comfort you’d expect from a larger car, as well as class-leading driving performance. Its sporty looks and handling hide the fact that the entire Mazda2 lineup has won ultra-low emission certification.
Popular 13C-V Smart Edition II model grade now complies with new eco-car tax reduction program .
Mazda Motor Corporation launched an upgraded Mazda Demio compact car (known overseas as the Mazda2) at Mazda, Mazda Anfini and Mazda Autozam dealerships throughout Japan.
The updated Demio 13C-V Smart Edition II features a rear roof spoiler, undercover, and with a 0.4km/L improvement in fuel economy, now achieves a rating of 20.6km/L under Japan’s JC08 mode test cycle.
