2019 Mazda Demio

The 2019 Mazda Demio (DJ series, DJ3FS/DJ3AS) is a premium B-segment subcompact hatchback engineered with Mazda's "Kodo: Soul of Motion" design philosophy and high-compression SKYACTIV technology. Positioned as a stylish, driver-focused alternative to utility-first hatchbacks like the Toyota Vitz and Honda Fit, the 2019 model represents the refined late-stage release of the DJ generation before Mazda fully rebranded the line globally to the "Mazda2".Under the hood, this variant is powered by the 1.3-liter SKYACTIV-G (P3-VPS) direct-injection naturally aspirated 4-cylinder petrol engine, producing 93 PS (92 hp / 68 kW) and 123 Nm of torque. It pairs with a smooth 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission (or 5-speed manual in select trims) powering the Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) system, with an available i-ACTIV 4WD layout. Dynamics are enhanced by G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus), which subtly adjusts engine torque and applies outer wheel braking during cornering to improve directional stability.Inside, the cabin features driver-centric ergonomics with soft-touch materials, a 7.0-inch Mazda Connect infotainment display controlled via a rotary Commander dial, Bluetooth connectivity, automatic climate control, and split-folding 60/40 rear seats offering 280 liters of boot space (expanding to 950 liters folded).
