The all-new Mazda CX-3 is Mazda's entry into the subcompact crossover segment in the Philippines. It boasts a city-friendly size combined with Mazda’s groundbreaking features, outstanding fuel economy, and pleasurable driving experience. Officially available in the Philippines, the CX-3’s exterior is a combination of sporty and elegant, which is rendered from Mazda’s Kodo design theme. It has a long hood, a bold grille, and sculpted fenders. Inside, it has an upscale feel and looks for all of its three variants. The base Pro version is available in a monotone black-cloth style interior. The top-of-the-line Active variant is designed with leather, lux suede seats, and a beautiful second-color piping for a luxurious contrast. The all-new Mazda CX-3 comes with the Active Driving Display. This feature shows driving displays like vehicle speed directly towards the driver’s line of sight. Under the CX-3's hood is a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G engine with i-STOP (engine idling stop system). The CX-3 is considered one of the smaller offerings in Mazda's SUV lineup, positioned below the larger CX-5 and CX-9 models.
Launch
Mazda Philippines introduced the updated CX-3 in 2021 following a comprehensive shakeup of its entire lineup in the country. The CX-3 was initially launched in two variants, the CX-3 Sport, and CX-3 Elegance. Both variants also feature identical powertrains, utilizing a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G gasoline engine capable of generating 150 hp and 195 Nm of torque. The engine's power is efficiently transmitted to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, at launch, Mazda offered both the Elegance and Sport with an identical launch price tag of P1,490,000.
