With a sense of adventure at every turn, the Mazda CX-3 is ready to venture into the urban landscape. For 2021, Mazda has equipped the subcompact crossover SUV with Apple CarPlay^TM and Android Auto^TM, an extensive suite of safety features and more standard premium conveniences. Developed with Mazda’s striking design philosophy, athletic driving dynamics and straightforward driving position, CX-3 offers an engaging package for urbanites who don’t settle for the conventional.

“Its upscale cabin, fun-to-drive nature, and cheeky exterior styling keep it in the hunt among other small crossovers. The CX-3 could also be called the SUV for car lovers, as its seating height, while slightly higher than the Mazda 3 sedan and hatchback, is still quite carlike, and its eager chassis comes alive on a twisty road” – Car & Driver

Mazda’s four-cylinder Skyactiv-G 2.0, rated to deliver up to 148 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, allows CX-3 to be more than capable of exploring the events and experiences in the city. Paired with standard front-wheel drive and a quick-shifting Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift mode and Sport mode helps create an enjoyable, premium driving experience. For the more adventurous types, Mazda’s predictive i-Activ all-wheel drive is available for the occasional times when one may want to escape the hustle and bustle to reconnect with nature.

Mazda CX-3 Sport has a modern, stylish cabin with well-appointed standard features. Fans can enjoy amenities such as Apple CarPlay^TM and Android Auto^TM, Active Driving Display and automatic climate control which are all new standard features for 2020. The subcompact crossover is benefited by a seven-inch, full-colour touchscreen display with Mazda Connect^TM, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio and a six-speaker audio system. These features can be safely accessed through the multi-function commander knob or steering wheel mounted controls. Other premium standard features include electronic parking brake with auto-hold feature, push-button start, remote keyless illuminated entry system, power windows with one-touch automatic up/down feature for the driver side and cloth seats.

“For a driver, the 2021 Mazda CX-3 remains one of the more enjoyable subcompact SUV/crossovers, thanks to its excellent seating position and sporty well-tuned suspension. The cabin also exudes quality”
– Kelly Blue Book
