2015_Mazda_2_Sedan_03

The upcoming Mazda 2 hatchback is one hotly-awaited model. Internationally, and on our shores too. Like the Mazda 3, the B-segmenter will also spawn a sedan offspring to go against the Honda City and Toyota Vios, as we reported last month with a few realistic-looking renderings by Theophilus Chin.

Now comes the real thing, as spotted testing in Thailand. Looks rather similar to Theo's renders below, doesn't it? The 2015 Mazda 2 Sedan appears to have a very short, curvaceous boot that protrudes out aft of the rear doors (which are identical to the five-door hatchback's).

The wrap-around rear lamps mimic those of the Mazda 3 Sedan quite closely, as envisioned by the earlier renderings. From these pictures at least, the proportions don't look all that great to our eyes, much like the outgoing model. What do you think of the 2015 Mazda 2 Sedan?

We have driven the Mazda 2 hatchback already. Curious to know if it'll have the talent to match its looks? Come back shortly to see read our first driving impressions of the little Ford Fiesta rival.
