The rapid expansion of vehicle manufacturer Mazda into Europe has continued in the last month, the company's latest figures have revealed.

Mazda Motor Europe chief operating officer Philip Waring commented: "Just about every single country managed robust product-driven growth in the face of the prolonged industry difficulties across Europe."

The company reported an annual 40 per cent rise in vehicle sales during November from the same month last year, demonstrating an excellent performance for the car maker as the European market revealed a sixth consecutive month of decline.

For the first 11 months of the year Mazda has also seen an overall rise in its market share in Europe at 1.2 per cent.

The popularity of its new-generation models have bolstered sales for the firm this year, with its proprietary SKYACTIV technology proving exceedingly popular with buyers across the continent.

It comes as the company rolls out its new Mazda3, which began in October and will continue into the first quarter of the new year.
