Habiba millions .. Mazda deposits her famous car forever – ryan

Mazda, a pioneer in the automotive industry, announced a shock to its customers, as it officially announced that the production of its small Mazda 2 in the UK, after nearly 10 years shine, is actually replaced by Mazda 2 Hybrid, a modified version of Toyota Yaris bearing the Mazda brand in light of the trend of electric cars.

Mazda bid farewell to her iconic car

Mazda, in a statement, indicated that the Mazda 2 car is no longer available for the new demand, with “only a few hundred” in the showrooms remaining. Although the company does not mention the reasons for the suspension, there are several factors that contribute to this decision. Among these reasons are the following:

• Going towards electric cars, where Mazda’s spokesman told Autoocar, that the company is moving towards increasing its electricity, with the aim of ensuring that all its models will contain a type of electricity by 2030.
• Among the reasons is the strict laws of emissions imposed by the UK for the UN Emita Vehicles (ZEV), which imposes on companies gradually reducing their emissions, as electric cars must make up 80% of sales by 2030, and 100% by 2035.
• Also, the impact of gasoline and hybrid sales have a role in this decision, as Mazda sold 4400 copies of Mazda 2 last year, of which 1700 gasoline and 2700 light hybrids, and the total carbon dioxide emissions from these sales reached about 474 thousand grams/km
• Among the reasons is the weakness of electricity sales, as Mazda faces a challenge in achieving ZEV goals, as sales of its only MX-30 electric car constituted about 5% of its sales in the United Kingdom in 2024.

What is the alternative to Mazda 2 after its production stopped?

After announcing the exit of Mazda 2 from the market, the company focuses on its Mazda 2 Hybrid alternative in order to fulfill the demand in the B. Category, with the introduction of new electrical models, such as the Mazda 6e salon to be launched next year.

In any case, the stopping of the production of Mazda 2 reflects the rapid transformations in the car market and heading to electric cars, where environmental legislation and technological developments play a major role in manufacturing decisions, however markets may witness, more traditional models in the near future.
