Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 MAZDA2.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2019 Mazda MAZDA2 is a compact passenger car built on Mazda’s sub‑compact platform and equipped with the brand’s six‑speed automatic (S6) transmission, delivering an EPA rating of 32 mpg city, 40 mpg highway and 35 mpg combined. Its modest yet respectable fuel economy and straightforward drivetrain have helped it maintain a steady reputation for dependability, as reflected in the model’s complaint record from 2012‑2021, which saw a low of nine reports in 2012 and a peak of thirteen in 2013. Positioned toward the middle of that decade‑long span, the 2019 iteration benefits from the overall low‑complaint trend, indicating a reliably engineered year within the MAZDA2’s history.
