This is Mazda's first small crossover/SUV, the CX-3, which will lead the company's offerings at next month's Geneva Motor Show, writes Brian Byrne.
It will be available in 2WD and AWD forms when it goes to market. The Irish arrival is likely in May or June.
Other models to be featured on the Mazda stand will be the new Mazda2, which is now available to order here; the new generation MX-5 shown at Paris in September; and upgrades for 2015 to the CX-5 crossover/SUV and the Mazda6.
