Mazda CX-3

The 2021 Mazda CX-3 is Mazda’s smallest SUV, and it’s available in the single well-equipped Sport trim. With its compact dimensions, the CX-3 is perfect for negotiating city streets and squeezing into tight parking spaces. Under the CX-3’s hood is a punchy 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 148 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque via a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, or you can opt for the i-Activ all-wheel-drive system.

Exterior features include adaptive front lighting, LED headlights and daytime running lights, rain-sensing wipers, 16-inch alloy wheels, and dual bright exhaust tips. Inside, the CX-3 has room for five people along with 17.8 cubic feet of luggage space. Folding down the 60/40 split rear seats gives you a 42.7-cubic-foot cargo area.

In the driver-focused cabin, you’ll find a push-button start, an active driving display, automatic climate control, and a tilting and telescoping steering column. The Mazda Connect infotainment system offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, Bluetooth, voice command, and a six-speaker audio system with an internet radio. Control is via a 7-inch touch screen or the convenient multifunction commander control.
