2017 MAZDA cx-3

The Mazda CX-3 is the Japanese company's entry into what has quickly become one of the most popular niche segments of the market. Its SUV-esque styling and raised driving position appeal to plenty of buyers, yet because the CX-3 is based on the same blueprints as a Mazda 2 supermini, there's none of the drawbacks – high running costs, difficult to park – you'd traditionally get with a more unwieldly SUV. Unsuprisingly, it's not the only car to offer this. Nissan's Juke was the first of its type, but the compact crossover sector of the market – as it's since been referred to – has grown significantly in the intervening years. So, along with the Juke, the CX-3 also competes with the Skoda Kamiq, Toyota C-HR, Hyundai Kona, Kia Stonic, Renault Captur, Volkswagen T-Roc, Peugeot 2008 and even the Audi Q2.The Mazda appeals with smart exterior styling and an equally upmarket look to the interior and one of the best driving experiences of the lot. There's also a generous list of standard equipment across the CX-3 range, while there's a simple engine line-up, but with the option of all-wheel drive and automatic models that you won't find with some of the competition. Mazda has continued its SkyActiv programme of lightness and efficiency with the CX-3 and, for petrol engines at least, has shied away from turbocharged downsizing, instead believing larger, naturally-aspirated motors are the way to go. With 121hp, the entry-level 2.0-litre SkyActiv-G petrol unit is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, with a six-speed automatic optionally available, sending power to the front wheels. Choose the CX-3 in Sport Nav trim and you can also order it with all-wheel drive and a more powerful version of the 2.0-litre petrol motor. Power jumps to 150hp, but efficiency figures for the manual-only edition are slightly worse. Cheaper running costs come courtesy of the 1.8-litre SkyActiv-D turbocharged diesel, producing 115hp, although at 270Nm, peak torque is higher than the petrol offerings. Manual versions serve up lower CO2 emissions and higher fuel economy than the petrols. This new diesel engine replaced the old 1.5-litre SkyActiv-D unit in 2018 when the CX-3 received a mild range update. All vehicles are subject to a £200 non refundable deposit.
