Mazda has unveiled the all-new Mazda2 today as the carmaker launched production of its next-generation supermini at its Hofu plant south-east of Hiroshima.

The fourth member of Mazda's current model generation features the full range of Skyactiv technology and will premiere in Europe with a brand-new small displacement clean diesel engine, the Skyactiv-D 1.5, as well as different power versions of the petrol Skyactiv-G 1.5.

Together with Skyactiv body, chassis, and manual and automatic transmissions, it also gets the company's MZD Connect in-car connectivity system, a range of safety systems and a spacious interior.

More than 2.4 million Mazda2s have been sold globally since it was first launched in 1996. With its new generation, Mazda is bringing another exciting interpretation of the supermini to drivers around the world.
