Mazda CX-3 to make European debut at Geneva

Marking the carmaker’s fifth model launch in six months, Mazda's first small SUV will be offered in AWD or FWD format when it goes on sale in Europe in early summer and will also bring the carmaker’s latest KODO design along with its SKYACTIV Technology.

Also on display will be the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5, which brings a new exterior design and SKYACTIV engines. The new model will hit the market in the autumn.

The line-up is finished with the new Mazda2 plus the 2015 Mazda CX-5 and 2015 Mazda6, which bring redesigned faces and interiors and new features including active safety systems like Adaptive LED Headlights. The 2015 Mazda6 is offered with AWD and a head-up display, while the 2015 CX-5 adds the SKYACTIV-G 2.5 to its petrol engine line-up.

All five models will be available with MZD Connect, Mazda's safe and easy-to-use smartphone connectivity system, and the company's i-ACTIVSENSE active safety technology.
