Car and Van Hire experts Fair Rent has responded to the news that Mazda has unveiled their new Mazda 2, due to go on sale in early 2015 and set to rival similar classes from Ford and Volkswagen.

Mazda, a hugely successful worldwide vehicle manufacturer have just announced the big reveal of their new Mazda 2, much to the anticipation of car enthusiasts, dealers, motor leasing companies and the general public. Promising to offer a ‘winning combination of performance, fuel economy, safety and driving fun’ if it is anything like its bigger brothers, we could be in for a ride that will compete against other big selling small cars which include the Vauxhall Corsa, Ford Focus, Seat Ibiza and Volkswagen Polo.

With the first models being launched in Japan this autumn, UK cars should reach the shores of the UK as soon as January 2015, promising to be greeted by the demand for Japanese engineering at competitive prices.

Speaking to reporters at the recent unveiling, Jeff Guyton, Mazda’s European CEO, said:

“UK buyers will be able to choose from new 1.5-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines, both of which feature Mazda’s Skyactiv efficiency technologies. These will help make the new 2 cleaner and more fuel efficient than rival models with the same sort of power.”

Mr. Guyton added: "It won't have the lowest headline CO2 figure in the supermini sector, but it will have the best balance of performance and CO2."

North East London based car and van hire company Fair Rent often reacts to relevant news. The company spokesperson believes the new Mazda 2 will be a welcomed addition to UK roads in a bid to lower pollution even further, saying:

“The New Mazda will certainly fit right into the current popularity for small, efficient cars, appealing to drivers of all ages looking for the best blend of safety, performance, stylish looks and driving pleasure. Providing a greener choice for our customers, indications of the Mazda 2’s low CO2 emissions, together with the responsive, enjoyable driving sensation that drivers expect from a leading manufacturer have many eagerly awaiting its Launch here in the UK.”
