The Mazda 2 or Mazda Demio has recently been launched and from the looks of it, it has shredded weight. There was a total weight loss of about 100 kilograms, which resulted to a total weight of 995 kilograms and 960 respectively.

So how did Mazda do it? They have achieved it through better engineering techniques and a smaller overall car. The result was a loss of 20 kilograms of weight. The removal of some features also resulted into a loss of another 20 kilograms. The other 60 kilograms of loss weight was because of the reduction of the weight of the front seats – 2.5kg, suspension – 13kg, front speakers – 1kg, and the electrical system – 2.9kg.

The result was great as the Mazda 2 achieved better MPG ratings and also helped improve agility.
