Why the Mazda CX-3’s appeal has endured
Since its launch more than a decade ago, the Mazda CX-3 has helped Australian drivers to seize the day and explore new possibilities.

The model has been the number one vehicle in the light SUV range, breaking records even in its tenth year in showrooms with sales of over 18,461 units.
Reasons for the CX-3’s enduring popularity include:
Its dynamic design and funky style
The CX-3 comes in five stylish designs to suit all kinds of tastes, as well as a range of colours. Choose between the luxurious CX-3 G20 Touring SP, the ultra-comfortable CX-3 G20 Evolve or the streamlined Pure, all with eye-catching designs.
Compact and agile
For an SUV, the CX-3 is delightfully sleek and dynamic, perfect for navigating narrow and busy city streets.
Like Mazda’s other vehicles, the CX-3 exemplifies Mazda’s Kodo or ‘Soul of Motion’, capturing the essence of life and movement in its driving feel. Lightweight and superbly balanced, the CX-3 can hold its own no matter what twists and bends the road brings.
Economy and reliability
Fuel-efficient, with value for money, the CX-3 has lasted over the years by consistently being a reliable, trustworthy choice for SUV fans.
