The naturally aspirated MZR 1.3L Miller-cycle engine is combined with Mazda's first continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the all-new Mazda Demio (Mazda2) sold in Japanese. The system offers smooth acceleration that responds precisely to the driver's intentions, and class leading fuel economy of 23 Km/L. The fuel economy rating comes from Japan's 10-15 mode measurement, meaning a result that is rated as 20 percent or better than Japan's 2010 fuel economy standards. The new Demio's exhaust emissions are also at least 75 percent lower than 2005 standards, which conforms to Japan's Super Ultra-Low Emissions vehicle (SU-LEV) rating and qualifies the car for Green Tax Exemptions.
* The naturally aspirated MZR 1.3L Miller-cycle engine and CVT specification model Demio is only available in Japan.
