2014 Mazda MAZDA2: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Mazda2 is largely a carryover from 2013. Its only clearly documented change is red stitching on the Touring trim’s steering wheel and seat upholstery.
About the 2014 Mazda MAZDA2
Second generation Mazda2 (DE, 2007-2014 globally; 2011-2014 in the U.S.), final U.S. model year.
Mazda positioned the Mazda2 as a small hatchback built around light weight, easy maneuvering, and a more playful driving feel than many subcompact rivals. Official material emphasizes simple controls, useful hatchback flexibility, and city-friendly size rather than a long luxury-feature list. Its main appeal is straightforward: it is a compact, gas-powered front-wheel-drive hatchback for drivers who want everyday usability with a more engaging feel on the road.
The 2014 Mazda2 is a simple, light-feeling front-wheel-drive hatchback sold in Sport and Touring trims. Sport covers the basics with air conditioning, power windows and locks, USB audio, and a split-folding rear seat. Touring adds alloy wheels, fog lights, a rear spoiler, cruise control, and a six-speaker audio system.
