The Mazda Verisa is a subcompact car based on the DY platform developed with Ford.
Does that mean it’s just another name for the Mazda2? Well, not really. It’s somewhere between an MPV and a light crossover vehicle, something like the old Ford Fusion in Europe. Mazda says it came up with the name by combining the Italian word verita, which means truth, and the English word “satisfaction”. Although no second generation was launched, the car first revealed in 2004 received updates in 2006 and 2009. OA single engine is available, the trusted Mazda 1.5-liter, mated to a 4-speed automatic with either FWD or four wheel drive (e4WD).
