Mazda Australia has killed off another manual transmission option, this time in the form of the base Mazda 2.
Several models have lost the option of a do-it-yourself gearbox over the last few years, including the Mazda 3, CX-30, CX-3 and CX-5.
The BT-50 ute and MX-5 sports car are now the only Mazdas offered with a manual locally.
The Mazda 2 range has been consolidated from four trim levels down to two, with the Pure and Pure SP axed for the 2025 model year. As a result, the entry price has risen to $26,990 before on-road costs for the Evolve – up by $4120 over the outgoing Pure.

Prices are also up right across the lineup, from $120 for the GT to $620 for the Evolve. Even in Evolve form, the Mazda 2 is now dearer than the new MG3 and Suzuki Swift Hybrid.
On top of a range restructure, the 2025 Mazda 2 has gained a pair of safety features – Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) and Smart Brake Support (SBS), the latter being a more sophisticated autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system.
The now base Evolve model also comes with new 16-inch black alloy wheels.
The Mazda 2 range is mechanically unchanged apart from the loss of the manual, and continues to be powered by a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine.

Safety
The updated Mazda 2 no longer has a safety rating from ANCAP. It previously wore a five-star rating based on testing conducted in 2015, but this has since expired.
