Mazda2 Hybrid Review (2024) | Better than the Yaris? | Changing Lanes TV

The Mazda2 Hybrid joined the Mazda range for the first time in 2022. Sold alongside the Mazda2 petrol, the Mazda2 Hybrid is essentially a rebadged Toyota Yaris.
The hybrid supermini is an important step in helping the Japanese brand to reduce emissions and offer customers a fuel-sipping hybrid option (without the cost of developing its own).
Toyota is a leader in hybrid for over 25 years so this car certainly has good provenance. But is it distinct enough?
Now in 2024, Mazda seeks to distinguish this car a little more with a few styling tweaks from its own European Design Studio.
I travelled to Barcelona to take a first look at the new Mazda2 Hybrid, ahead of its arrival in Ireland this March.

It does look a bit like the GR Yaris ☘️

A very tiny bit prehaps

@@dbank6107 maybe not as good to drive

That’s because this IS a Toyota Yaris. It’s just a rebadge to Mazda.

That’s a nice rebadged Toyota Yaris pretending to be Mazda 2😅

This happened the other way around as well. Where the Toyota Yaris Sedan was/is a rebadged Mazda 2 sedan. ;)
