Why it stands out

The 2018 Mazda CX-3 stands out as a small crossover that leans heavily into Mazda’s sporty character. It was Mazda’s second subcompact SUV, and it did not immediately replace the smaller CX-3 that had been around since 2016. For buyers who want a compact vehicle with a more premium feel than many rivals, the CX-3’s appeal starts with its stylish design, fun-to-drive nature, and strong safety reputation.

Even in its launch year, the CX-3 offered a well-rounded equipment list. The GX trim included 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, keyless entry, an 8.8-inch infotainment screen with Mazda Connect software, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GS trim added the 2.5-litre engine, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air conditioning vents, and a full suite of driver-assistance features including adaptive cruise control with stop and go, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and a driver attention alert. Buyers looking for more luxury could also add a package with leatherette upholstery, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory, a power glass moonroof, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

The CX-3 also had some meaningful limitations. The GT trim brought a Bose 12-speaker audio system, a head-up display, leather seats, a power liftgate, paddle shifters, cylinder deactivation, and LED Signature illumination headlights and taillights, but it was available with AWD only. Fuel economy varied by engine and drivetrain, with the 2020 Mazda CX-30 figures showing how efficiency could shift depending on configuration, and the CX-3’s own owner feedback points to the same basic trade-off buyers often notice in this class: the cabin is appealing and the vehicle feels upscale, but cargo space is limited.
