The Mazda Demio. It´s larger than life.
Inside the small, compact Mazda Demio, there´s a big car ready to drive away. The Mazda Demio is designed to be surprisingly roomy and flexible when you need to load it up, yet satisfyingly small and agile when you need to squeeze through dense city traffic. With a Mazda Demio on your side, nothing will be too much to handle. Take it anywhere, treat it like one of the gang. Wherever the action is in your life, that´s where the Mazda Demio was meant to be.
Small, but perfectly formed
It almost seems as if Mazda Demio were two cars in one. Its extra height is a sign of its healthy appetite for cargo whilst still seating four people in comfort. The generous glass area hints at the commanding view you can expect from the driver's seat. And there's no hiding those avant-garde new headlamps and tail lamps either. They sport the very latest multi reflectors with stylish, clear lenses for enhanced light.
Can this really be a car? It has such wide doors and such a tall load area. Then there's that high-lift tailgate and the extra-low loading height. Even the rear seats can slide forwards or backwards, for extra luggage space or extra leg room whichever you prefer. And there's plentiful headroom for taller passengers. All that extra space also gives a clean, open feel, helped by the new sweeping lines of the dashboard and Mazda Demio's smart, two-tone interior colour scheme.
Mazda Demio's clever seat system can accommodate all your needs. The rear seats slide forward to provide extra luggage space and with their 50 : 50 split you can fold either seat down to handle bulkier loads. Fold the rear seats fully forwards for a large, level load space that's easily among the best in its class, or make use of their full recline to form a flat, comfortable surface.
When life gets interesting.
You may not appreciate the advantages of Mazda Demio's low loading height or its high-lift tailgate until you're standing in a car park and manage to manoeuvre an awkwardly-shaped object aboard. Then you'll also appreciate how Mazda Demio's rear seats can slide up to 120 mm forwards and backwards, allowing as much as 365 litres of cargo space without folding any seats down. The elevated seat position gives rear passengers a clear view of the road ahead and makes it much easier to get in and out.
Work hard. Play hard.
When you've finished zipping around town in your Mazda Demio, zip out to the country and let it stretch its legs. Its suspension has been designed to give sure-footed handling even with heavy loads, its engine has bags of torque at lower revs great for overtaking in top gear without frantic gear changing and its engine speed-sensing power steering provides perfect feedback, whether you're travelling along a motorway or heading down a twisting road. And wherever you're driving you'll appreciate Mazda Demio's quiet-running engine, thanks to its advanced alternator design and virtually-silent cooling fan.
Flexible, frugal and fun.
Just because it’s such a practical car around town doesn't mean that driving Mazda Demio can't be fun too. There's a choice of free revving 63 PS or high-performance 75 PS engines that keep Mazda Demio light on its feet. And it's light on its fuel too, sipping just 47 mpg (63 PS engine) on the official extra urban cycle. For easy and luxurious motoring, try the new, 4-speed, electronically-controlled automatic transmission. You can almost sit back and let Mazda Demio do the driving.
Enjoy yourself, in safety.
Naturally, in a car as thoughtfully designed as Mazda Demio, much thought has been given to its safety features. Twin airbags are fitted, with the passenger airbag automatically deactivated when no front passenger is present or a Mazda approved child seat is installed. 1.5 GSi models feature ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) for precise braking in all situations. High-mounted brake lights and seatbelt pre-tensioners also feature throughout the range. Crumple zones are built in to help disperse energy in a crash, and strengthened steel beams are incorporated in chassis, floor, roof and doors to provide a “survival cell” for the car’s occupants.
Good things come in small packages.
Mazda Demio is designed to be a pleasure to use in any situation. That's why it’s packed with so many useful, thoughtful touches. For instance, we've built in a host of small storage areas, including three handy cupholders, a cargo-area lamp for those night-time trips and an extending tonneau cover to keep prying eyes away from your luggage during the day. Mazda Demio's dashboard instruments echo these thoughtful touches with clearer, larger graphics, transparent lighting and illuminated pointers.
Mazda Demio High Grade. It packs a lot of luxury.
This is the Mazda Demio for those people who like to have everything. GSi models boast remote-control door locking whilst GXi and GSi models feature electric mirrors and electric windows all round. In addition, all Demio models have high-quality, velour seats for luxury and improved comfort.
Thefuture starts here.
Responsibility for the future has a lot to do with selecting the proper car. As an accountable automobile manufacturer, from the design phase, the wise use of natural resources has been a primary objective for Mazda.
