2 Answers
The wheelbase of the Mazda 2 is 2490mm. The Mazda 2 is produced by Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd. Its length, width, and height are 3905mm, 1695mm, and 1480mm respectively, and it features front-engine, front-wheel drive. In terms of suspension, the Mazda 2 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. For power, the Mazda 2 is equipped with two engines: a 1.3-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. Both engines use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks and are paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission.
I recently drove the Mazda2, and this compact car has a wheelbase of around 2570mm. This means the distance between the front and rear wheel centers is moderate, providing a decent sense of space for my daily commute. Sitting inside, I could stretch my legs comfortably without feeling cramped like in some other cars. It's very agile when turning in the city and easy to park. The slightly longer wheelbase also helps with stability at high speeds, reducing the bumpy feeling. I found Mazda's body design quite practical—it can carry passengers without taking up too much space, making it especially suitable for office workers or new drivers. Even after driving for a while, I didn’t feel fatigued because the legroom is reasonable, and two adults can sit in the back without feeling squeezed. For a car of this size, it’s definitely a great choice—good handling and decent fuel efficiency. Overall, the 2570mm wheelbase is above average for compact cars, balancing comfort and practicality well.
