Second‑Generation Launch and Model Code
Introduced in May 2007, the second‑generation Mazda 2 carries the model code DE for the hatchback (DH for the sedan). It is officially known as the Mazda Demio and was assembled in Hiroshima, Japan.
2011 Refresh Added Signature Features
A notable refresh arrived in 2011, offering an array of signature features, a practical storage capacity, and a perky 1.5‑liter inline‑four engine that helped keep the hatchback lively and appealing to urban drivers.
Strong Community and Aftermarket Support
Even years after production ended, owners of the 2012 Mazda 2 DE discuss parts availability on forums, noting limited options for components like struts. This enthusiasm has spurred a niche market for genuine OEM parts, rare JDM components, and popular aftermarket modifications.
