"The Mazda 2 SE-L Nav MHEV is a compact hatchback that punches well above its weight, combining elegant design, intelligent hybrid technology, and a refined driving experience that makes it a standout choice in the supermini segment. Powered by Mazda's innovative Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) system, it pairs a responsive 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine with a small integrated electric motor that assists during acceleration and recovers energy during braking, resulting in smoother performance and improved fuel efficiency without the need for plug-in charging. This clever setup delivers around 90-115 bhp, depending on the variant, and achieves impressive fuel economy figures of up to 60 mpg, making it ideal for both urban commuting and longer journeys. The SE-L Nav trim adds a generous suite of features that elevate the driving experience: 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and climate control all come as standard, while the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with integrated satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto ensures seamless connectivity and entertainment on the go. Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully designed with high-quality materials, supportive seats, and a driver-centric layout that reflects Mazda's "Jinba Ittai" philosophy�creating a sense of unity between car and driver. Safety is also a strong suit, with features like lane departure warning, emergency brake assist, hill hold control, and G-Vectoring Control Plus, which subtly adjusts engine torque to enhance cornering stability. A full service history adds significant value to this particular vehicle, offering reassurance that it has been meticulously maintained according to manufacturer guidelines, with regular oil changes, inspections, and software updates logged and certified. This not only preserves the car's mechanical integrity and performance but also enhances its resale value and reduces the likelihood of unexpected repairs. For customers purchasing from Vertu Motors, the benefits extend far beyond the vehicle its"
