The CX-3 also returns great fuel economy, nearly holding the top position in the segment.
Mazda knows small details can make the biggest difference. That’s why the CX-3 offers an upscale cabin fitted with a long list of standard features. Its user-friendly infotainment system includes a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, Bluetooth® hands-free phone and audio capability, and a six-speaker audio system.
