The CX-3 - Mazda’s Smallest SUV Is Brimming With Style And Personality

For 2023, the  Mazda CX-3 continues to serve as the brand’s entry-level SUV, exuding a sense of allure and sophistication, having undergone a multitude of updates that has propelled beyond the competition and aligned perfectly with your aspirations and lifestyle.

To kick off the many reasons why the CX-3 should be anyone’s SUV shortlist, its sleek and timeless KODO design seamlessly combines intricate surfaces with flowing lines that stretch from the front to the back, resulting in a captivating representation of dynamic motion and a bold statement of charismatic style.

Exterior illumination on the range-topping 2.0L High is all-LED, including headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights (DRLs), emanating a sleek signature from every angle. Furthermore, those LED headlights feature automatic on/off and automatic levelling capabilities for enhanced safety and convenience.

The design of the Mazda CX-3 showcases various striking elements, such as 18-inch alloy wheels, a roof spoiler, powered sunroof, a shark fin antenna, dual exhaust outlets, and a sophisticated 3D horizontal slat front grille that adds depth and uniqueness.

When you lift its bonnet, you'll discover Mazda's reliable and proven SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder petrol engines in either 1.5 or 2.0-litre capacities, generating either 114PS and 149Nm or 154PS and 206Nm and mated to a 6-speed SKYACTIV-DRIVE automatic transmission with manual shift mode.

Advancements such G-Vectoring Control, which adjusts the engine and traction control response to optimise weight distribution and G-forces, collectively create a distinctive driving experience that Mazda is known for, referred to as 'Jinba-Ittai'. This term captures the seamless connection between the driver's thoughts and the vehicle's performance, resulting in a sense of intuitiveness and clarity, as if the car is an extension of one's own intentions on the road.

The Mazda CX-3, designed as an enjoyable compact crossover suitable for the entire family, prioritises safety without compromise. It comes equipped with a range of standard safety technologies, including six airbags (Front Driver & Passenger, Side, and Curtain), an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Traction Control System (TCS), Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), Auto Hold Function, and Hill Launch Assist (HLA).
