The 2 Sedan is nearly identical to its hatchback counterpart from the tip of the front bumper to the C-pillar. Beyond that, the sedan gains a longer rear overhang that clears up space for a roomier trunk and horizontal tail lamps that bring it in line with the larger Mazda3 Sedan. A discreet trunk-mounted spoiler adds a sporty touch to the overall look.

Inside, the sedan shares its clean and elegant cockpit with the 2 hatchback. It features a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a high-definition screen controlled by controller knob and a simple, function-oriented instrument cluster. Buyers can pick from a long list of high-tech features gleaned from Mazda’s bigger cars.

The Mazda2 Sedan is available with a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D turbodiesel four-cylinder engine that sends 103 horsepower and a healthy 184 lb-ft. of torque to the front wheels via either a manual or an automatic transmission. The four-door could also be offered with a 1.5-liter gasoline-burning four-banger rated at 100 horsepower and 98 lb-ft. of torque, but Mazda is keeping full technical details under wraps for the time being.

In Thailand, the Mazda Mazda2 Sedan will go on sale alongside its hatchback counterpart in early 2015. The four-door could be sold in Middle East, but Mazda has not announced when – or if – it will make its debut in Dubai.
