Mazda will offer its supermini Mazda2 as a three-door for the first time this year.

The three-door will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show on March 4.

Mazda said the body style had been introduced in order to boost sales in Europe.

It comes with the same engine line-up as the five-door model, a MZR 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre petrol engine and the MZ-CD 1.4-litre turbo diesel.

Prices and a UK on sale date are yet to be announced.
