Like every vehicle in Mazda’s lineup, the 2020 Mazda CX-3 is an expression of KODO design. It’s a language that’s simple in principle, and quite elegant in practice. How do you create a sense of motion out of stillness? How do you evoke emotion at a glance? It’s a quality that can only be achieved by the hands of experienced Japanese artisans. And when you see it, you know instantly that you’re looking at a Mazda.

Mazda’s Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint is a technological marvel all on its own. Applied in three layers, this head-turning colour was conceived by master colour designers to give life to the flowing lines of our KODO design language. Unmistakably vivid, it makes every other shade of red, blush.

The compact but versatile interior of the 2020 CX-3 with expandable cargo space, foldable rear seats and customizable storage accessories is designed to impress drivers and passengers alike.

A standard, easy-release rear seatback folds down in a 60/40 split, letting you customize seating for five or accommodate up to 1260L of cargo space. Because sometimes, the most amazing road trips are the spontaneous ones.

The SKYACTIV-G 2.0 litre engine powering the 2019 Mazda CX-3 is engineered to stir emotion. Ultra-responsive and super-efficient, it delivers 148 hp, and impressive torque even at low speeds. Making city driving just as wonderfully engaging as the open road. And that invigorating feeling remains long after the journey ends.

Life is about choosing your own road. And the dynamic Drive Selection puts the power in your hands. Choose Sport Mode and the CX-3’s responsive acceleration is amplified. This quicker throttle response can help when changing lanes, merging into fast moving traffic, or when passing.

Your world can change in an instant. That’s why Mazda’s available smart predictive i- ACTIV AWD all-wheel-drive system is always on alert. It monitors road conditions and is ready to adjust power delivery to help give you optimal traction before your wheels can slip. Even when the weather’s perfect, i-ACTIV AWD® helps stabilize and improve the CX-3’s overall traction. Rain or shine, the road is yours to command.

Mazda’s exclusive technology, SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control, helps achieve a smoother, less fatiguing drive for you and your passengers. When cornering, the system works seamlessly by adjusting power delivery, shifting vehicle weight on initial turn-in and throughout the corner. The effect is subtle, but how you feel after a great drive is delightfully obvious.
