Why it stands out

The 2020 Mazda CX-3 stands out as a small crossover that was already being overshadowed by Mazda’s newer CX-30, yet it still offered the familiar Mazda mix of style and driver-focused appeal. In Canada, it was Mazda’s smaller subcompact SUV, and it remained on sale through the 2022 model year. For buyers who wanted a compact crossover with a premium feel rather than a sedan or hatchback, it had a clear place in the lineup.

What made the 2020 Mazda CX-3 distinctive was its straightforward, well-equipped approach. It came with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment included 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, keyless entry, an 8.8-inch infotainment screen with Mazda Connect, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GS trim added a 2.5-litre engine, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air vents, and a strong set of safety and driver-assistance features, while the GT brought a Bose 12-speaker audio system, a head-up display, leather seats, a power liftgate, and LED Signature illumination headlights and taillights. Fuel economy was also a strength, with the 2020 model returning as low as 8.1 L/100 km combined in its most efficient configuration.

Its limitations were just as clear. The CX-3 was noted for a cramped back seat and not much cargo space, so it was best suited to buyers who valued a smaller footprint and a sporty feel over maximum practicality. Even so, its safety equipment, available all-wheel drive, and premium touches helped it remain appealing for shoppers who wanted a well-rounded small crossover with a polished personality.
