This is why we can’t wait for the Mazda2 to get to SA
With all these awards the Mazda2 is collecting, we sure are eagerly awaiting its local launch. After just recently winning Car Of The Year and the Good Design Gold Award in Japan, Mazda Motor Corporation announced that the all-new Mazda2 has won one of Germany’s most prestigious automotive awards, the 2014 Golden Steering Wheel in the small cars category.
Following the soon to be launched in South Africa Mazda CX-5, Mazda6 and Mazda3, the all-new Mazda2 is the fourth in Mazda’s line-up of new-generation products which feature the full range of Skyactiv technology and KODO-Soul of Motion design.
It is the fourth time a Mazda has won a Golden Steering Wheel award; the Mazda 323 took the prize in 1985 and 1989, and the Mazda 626 won in 1992. Mazda Southern Africa’s Managing Director commented, “We are delighted that key features that define Mazda vehicles, such as exceptional design, the fun-to-drive factor, and excellent environmental performance; are being recognized globally. Receiving yet another outstanding award for the all-new Mazda2 even before it arrives in the South African market has elevated our anticipation of the local launch in the first quarter of 2015.”
