The subcompact crossover segment puts utility, efficiency, and versatility in a small package above all else, and the 2017 Mazda CX-3 delivers with a bit of something extra. With AWD available across all three trims, 35 mpg in FWD, and an accessible MSRP, it’s got the basics nailed. Where it diverges is in the area of handling and upscale features.
You’ll find plenty of subcompact CUVs that nail the same formula, but the CX-3 turns in and corners with the eagerness you expect from a sport sedan. At the curb, Mazda’s smallest ‘ute has oodles of appeal thanks to its flowing KODO design language, and the interior boasts a tidy fit-and-finish that’s appointed with upscale materials that only increase in quality the further up the trim grade you climb. Among the highlights of the features list are options like i-Activsense safety, mirror-mounted turn signals, LED headlights, paddle shifters, and keyless entry.
