Recently the Japanese car manufacturer revealed the interiors of the Mazda2 through photos released to the members of the press.

The Mazda2 has an open and straightforward interior. Mazda responds to the demand of its core market which goes for better handling over flashy gimmicks and gadgets.

The designers of the Mazda2 want to convey a roomy and open interiors so they had to exert some effort to decrease the effects of the pillars that support the windshield.

The dominance of a piano black theme inside gives the Mazda2 a classy feel. The shapes of the different elements were also toned down to convey simplicity. The sides of the gauges were curved forward to give an illusion of bigger space. A little silver is use for contrast.

The feel of the stick is a bit odd since its extending from the dashboard rather than as a continuation of the floor. Comparing it to the Ford Fiesta with its center stack resembling lines from mobile phone designs, the Mazda2 has a simpler interior and a simpler center console.

The Mazda2 is scheduled to hit dealerships in the US on the latter part of the summer.
