Mazda's successful 2 is a small and economical hatchback that's extremely popular in Europe. Unfortunately, there is no word if the vehicle will further globalize and wind up in Mazda dealerships in North America.

Currently available as a five-door model, the Japanese automaker announced that a sportier and more affordable three-door model will be on display at the 78th annual Geneva International Motor Show in March. The motivation for the 2 three-door is to grow Mazda's brand in Europe, not North America.

The 2 comes powered by a 1.3 and 1.5 liter gasoline engine or a 1.4 liter diesel.

The 2 three-door features the same distinctive style as its five-door brother. This is Mazda's first new-age vehicle to apply their new styling language, so even if the 2 doesn't ever hit our shores, its great looks will. Sculpted lines and wrap-around tail-lamps work towards a flowing look, and a hatch-spoiler, styled wheels and black bumper insert suggest sportiness.
