Yozora, which means “night sky” in Japanese, is based on the entry-level Mazda2 GX model. “With its captivating design, exceptional value and fun-to-drive attributes, the Mazda2 Yozora will cater to our younger enthusiasts, who value individuality and expression,” said Mike Collinson, director of marketing and product strategy for Mazda Canada. The Mazda2 Yozora comes standard in a black exterior finish with a “2” themed decal package on the front driver’s side bumper and fender. A unique raised spoiler, short stubby antenna, chrome tailpipe and 16” alloy wheels complete its attractive and sporty design.

The Yozora comes standard with the Proxes T1R in size 195/45R16 80V. The Proxes T1R was developed using Toyo’s proprietary T-Mode simulation technology. It features a high-grip, silica tread compound and refined unidirectional tread design that provides excellent wet and dry performance. Rigid shoulder rib- bands provide exceptional cornering capabilities while parallel shoulder slits help reduce irregular wear. The Proxes T1R’s modern design includes V-shaped main grooves, which disperse water for enhanced wet performance.
