2019 Mazda CX-3 | CarGurus Test Drive Review

Shop the new CX-3: https://cargur.us/r2jsY The Mazda CX-3 doesn’t offer much space or power, but its superb driving dynamics and sharp styling make it the Miata of SUVs. A 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine has been retuned for 2019, now offering 148 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque, with more of that torque available across a wider rev range. The result helps the Mazda CX-3 feel quick and spritely, despite the relatively low power numbers. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard on all trims and, combined with front-wheel drive, returns an expected 29 mpg city, 34 highway, 31 combined. Optional all-wheel drive drops those numbers to 27/32/29. Inside, the CX-3 features comfortable seats up front and very little legroom in the rear. Neither Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto are available, but Mazda’s Mazda Connect infotainment system is easy to use, well-featured, and includes a touchscreen with a redundant Euro-style rotary control on the center console. The CX-3 also comes equipped with impressive safety equipment. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard equipment, while the iActiveSense option packages add all-speed forward emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and adaptive high-beams. Pricing on the Mazda CX-3 starts at $20,390 for the base Sport FWD trim (and before a destination charge of $995) and ranges to a starting MSRP of $27,145 on the top-level Grand Touring AWD trim.
