2019 Mazda demio

The 2019 Mazda Demio (DJ Series) is a stylish subcompact hatchback tailored for urban commuting and high fuel efficiency. Powered by Mazda’s naturally aspirated 1.3-liter (1,298cc) SkyActiv-G 4-cylinder engine, it develops 93 PS (92 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 123 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Unlike many segment rivals that rely on Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT), the 1.3L Demio pairs its engine with a 6-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission (or a 5-speed manual) in Front-Wheel Drive or optional i-ACTIV Four-Wheel Drive configurations, delivering direct and responsive gear shifts. Supported by a lightweight kerb weight (~1,020 kg) and a tight turning radius, it achieves an impressive fuel economy rating of 18.0 to 20.0 km/L (~5.0–5.5 L/100km). Visually, the 2019 model embraces Mazda’s Kodo design language, featuring an aggressive front grille with a chrome wing border, sleek halogen or LED headlight clusters, and a short rear overhang. The interior offers a driver-focused cabin equipped with supportive front seats, a dashboard-mounted gear selector, and an available 7.0-inch MZD Connect infotainment screen controlled via a center console rotary dial. Safety is bolstered by Mazda's i-Activesense suite, including Smart City Brake Support (SCBS), Lane Departure Warning, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC+) for refined chassis handling. With a 280-liter boot capacity and compact overall dimensions (4,060mm length, 1,695mm width), the 1.3L petrol variant provides an ideal mix of maneuvering agility, low running costs, and premium subcompact styling.
