Mazda Motor Corporation's new Mazda2 (known in Japan as the Demio)was recently named the 2014-2015 Car of The Year by the Japan Car of The Year Committee. It will be the company's fourth nameplate that will both utilize the Skyactiv Technology and the KODO-Soul of Motion Design Language after the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 vehicles.
"We are both honored and grateful that the Mazda Demio (Mazda2) has received such a prestigious award. This result is thanks to the enthusiastic support of all people who love cars. Inspired by this award, we will continue our quest to build cars that add a certain sparkle to the lives of their owners, and aim to become a one-and-only brand chosen by customers again and again,” said Masamachi Kogai, Mazda's Representative Director, President and CEO.
