When it comes to choosing the right vehicle for your needs, a thorough comparison of vehicle parameters is essential. Here we’ll explore two popular small cars, diving into the nuances that distinguish them. This comparison will delve into the Mazda 2 and the Suzuki Swift, analyzing their specs across various categories including model information, dimensions, boot/interior, engines/drivetrain, consumption/ecology, weight/towing capabilities, and more. Let’s buckle up and embark on this detailed journey to help you make an informed decision.
Dimensions
When it comes to dimensions, the Mazda 2 extends to a length of 4080mm, surpassing the Suzuki Swift, which measures up at 3840mm. Both boast a 5-door hatchback configuration, providing versatile access to their respective cabins. The Mazda 2 also exhibits a greater wheelbase of 2570mm compared to the Suzuki Swift’s 2450mm, which may translate into a more stable ride. The Swift, however, is slightly wider at 1735mm without mirrors against the Mazda's 1695mm, potentially offering a more commanding presence on the road. Height and ground clearance are won by the Mazda 2, promising a taller stance and better clearance from the ground, with variations in ground clearance within the Swift model range based on engine options. In conclusion, the Mazda 2 takes the lead in most dimensions, offering a larger overall footprint that may translate to a roomier interior and better road presence.

Boot/interior
Utilizing every cube of available space, the Mazda 2 offers 280 liters of boot capacity, edging out the Suzuki Swift's 265 liters. When the rear seats are folded, the Mazda 2 impresses with 950 liters of space, a smidgeon more expansive than the Swift's 947 liters. However, the Swift shines with a notable 579 liters up to the window line when seats are folded, a feature absent in the Mazda 2's dataset. Both vehicles are equipped similarly with 5 seats, further enhancing their practicality as compact family cars, and feature Isofix for secure child seat attachment, marking them as family-friendly options.

Engines/drivetrain
Exploring the heart of these machines, the Mazda 2 features 6 gears across the board while the Suzuki Swift offers variations from a minimum of 1 up to 6 gears, depending on the engine and transmission selected. Mazda's commitment to a standard 6-speed system suggests an emphasis on performance and driving engagement. Cylinder count in the Mazda remains steady at 4, whereas the Swift varies with options between a 3-cylinder and a 4-cylinder engine. These choices reflect Mazda's commitment to a consistent driving experience, hinging on satisfaction and simplicity. Mazda also presents a modest speed advantage, with their engines' top speed minima and maxima bracketing the Swift's spectrum, speaking to their powertrain efficiency. However, the Swift excels in sheer power output, with a maximum of 103kW that trumps the Mazda's 85kW. Conversely, when we turn to torque, the Swift's engines demonstrate a broad range from 107 to 235Nm, indicating a diverse engine lineup with options geared towards both efficiency and performance.

Consumption/ecology
Mazda leads with a fuel tank size of 44 liters, providing a larger reserve than the Swift's 37 liters, suggesting longer intervals between fill-ups. CO2 emissions for both vehicles have been scrutinized under the WLTP standards, with the Swift's range slightly besting the Mazda at the lower end, offering an eco-friendlier option. The difference in tyre size is less remarkable yet notable - Mazda's choice of tyres signals a slight preference for comfort and stability. Noise levels in the Mazda seem to be marginally louder according to the data range, although real-world differences may be insubstantial. The Swift's combined and city consumption figures, only provided for this model, indicate a lean towards fuel efficiency with a minimum combined consumption of 4.1l/100km under the NEDC cycle.

Weight/towing
Mazda's structure contributes to a higher empty weight, possibly inferring a slightly more robust build when compared to the lighter Swift, which might prove advantageous in fuel economy. However, when it comes to trailering, the Swift offers a 1000kg braked trailer capacity, besting the Mazda's 900kg, and suggesting better suitability for those with occasional towing needs. The Mazda does, however, allow for a higher unbraked trailer weight and a greater maximum roof load, which may be beneficial for certain transport scenarios. Not to be outdone, the Swift bests Mazda in max towbar load, indicating the consideration Suzuki has given to practical towing utility.
