The 2 gets its first makeover since being introduced in 2007 and subsequently winning the World Car of the Year Award at 2008’s NYIAS.

The gasoline-based SKY powertrain aims to split the difference between sport-tuned driving and increased fuel economy. Consisting of the Sky engine and SKY-Drive, a six-speed automatic coupled with a dual clutch transmission, Mazda is banking the pair will increase fuel economy across their lineup by 30 percent.
