It’s the 2018 Mazda CX-3 review/walkaround by Simone. In this video, she checks out the mid-tier Maxx trim in Auto. The new CX-3 is also available in the bottom of the range Neo trim as well as higher range s-touring and Akara trims.
The front is the familiar Mazda design, with a large grille and elegant head and fog lights. The front splitter also adds a bit to aggression.
The CX3 remains a modern-looking subcompact SUV that maintains a more conservative styling than the Toyota C-HR.
The engine is a 2.0 l four-pot SkyActiv petrol with 109 kW of power and 192 Nm of torque and officially consumes 6.1 l combined of fuel.
Mazda’s latest CX-3 sits in an ever-growing category here in Australia. It has tough competition like the new Hyundai Kona, Subaru XV, and Nissan Qashqai.
