Mazda 2 2010 vs Toyota Yaris 2012
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.5 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Mazda 2) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota Yaris) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 95 HP | 100 HP | |
| Torque: | 205 NM | 111 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 11.5 seconds | 11.8 seconds | |
|
Mazda 2 is more dynamic to drive. Mazda 2 engine produces 5 HP less power than Toyota Yaris, but torque is 94 NM more than Toyota Yaris. Despite less power, Mazda 2 reaches 100 km/h speed 0.3 seconds faster. | |||

| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 4.2 | 3.5 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 5.0 l/100km | 5.8 l/100km | |
|
The Mazda 2 is a better choice in terms of fuel economy based on user-reported consumption, although the specification shows otherwise. By specification Mazda 2 consumes 0.7 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Yaris, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Mazda 2 could require 105 litres more fuel. But when we compare the real fuel consumption reported by users, Mazda 2 consumes 0.8 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Yaris. | |||

| Trunk capacity: | 249 litres | 286 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down, if possible |
787 litres | 768 litres | |
| Mazda 2 has 37 litres less trunk space than the Toyota Yaris. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Mazda 2 (by 19 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 9.8 meters | 9.4 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Mazda 2 is 0.4 metres more than that of the Toyota Yaris, which means Mazda 2 can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight: | 1`540 kg | 1`565 kg | |
| Safety: | |||
| The Toyota Yaris scores significantly higher in active safety technologies (stability control, lane assist, automatic braking, etc.) tests. | |||
| Quality: | high | above average | |
| Mazda 2 has fewer problems. According to annual technical inspection data Toyota Yaris has serious deffects in 35 percent more cases than Mazda 2, so Mazda 2 quality is probably significantly better | |||
