With global launches starting from Japan in the Spring of 2015(1), CX-3 is set to become a core model in the automaker's line-up.

The all-new compact crossover SUV offers all the essentials people look for in a car; a design of overwhelming quality and style, packaging developed solely with the customer's ease-of-use in mind, and the responsive driving feel that Mazda strives for in every model.

The CX-3 was developed to suit the customer's creative lifestyle in any scene, from inner-city driving to enjoying the great outdoors.

The powertrain line-up includes the SKYACTIV-D 1.5-litre clean diesel engine and SKYACTIV-G 2.0-litre petrol engine, depending on the market.

Along with Mazda's new-generation AWD system, each engine option delivers powerful and linear driving performance and outstanding environmental performance.

To enhance the customer's driving pleasure, the model also offers a wide range of Mazda's latest technologies, including the MZD Connect car connectivity system and i-ACTIVSENSE advanced safety features.
