All-new Mazda2 Wins Germany’s Golden Steering Wheel Award

The all-new Mazda2 (known as Mazda Demio in Japan) has won one of Germany’s most prestigious automotive awards, the 2014 Golden Steering Wheel in the small cars category.

Established in 1976, the Golden Steering Wheel is an automotive award organized by German Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag and automotive magazine Auto Bild. The best new car in each category is determined through a combination of reader voting and evaluations by a panel of judges consisting of automotive journalists and others.

The all-new Mazda2 was the only Japanese vehicle to take an award in any category this year.
