Orders for that enhanced Mazda CX-3 were recently open across Mazda dealerships in South Africa. The popular compact SUV was initially revealed in 2014 and has now undergone a gentle update with the better half of 2018. A handful of exterior and interior updates happen to be thoughtfully performed to give the vehicle a refreshing feel. With all the design of a hatchback coupled with the functional versatility of the SUV, there is no going wrong with Mazda’s CX-3.
The most striking aesthetic change will be the front fog lamp bezel colour that is now black. Accompanying this are 18-inch alloy wheels and also a more pronounced grill featuring less but more prominent lines than before. There is also a solution of LED rear combination lamps to the Individual and Individual Plus variants. There is also a new color in the street, while using Soul Red Crystal now an element of CX-3 colour pattern range.
On the interior, leather seat upholstery is currently standard for Individual & Individual Plus. There are also fancier cup holders and centre armrest inside rear containing cup holders too. These features, together with an automatic dimming rear-view mirror feature are included from your Dynamic variant.
The range remains as before, with 6 derivatives available to the South African Market. The line-up features the renowned 2.0-litre SKYACTIV petrol engine that is available in either six-speed manual or in a computerized transmission. The engine powers at about 115 kW which can be just the right figure for swift and energetic driving through city congestion.
The upgrade, though subtle, has proved to be an incredible reminder on the potential vested with this car. An excellent family car, the Mazda CX-3 has a undeniable charm. With the niche for crossovers getting increasingly dense, it’s good to have a reliable and attractive option amidst everything.
As expected, the number is backed by the 3 year, unlimited km service plan. For added comfort and relief, Mazda throws in the 3 year factory warranty in conjunction with 3 year roadside assistance and 5 year corrosion warranty too.
The Mazda CX-3 can be a subcompact crossover SUV that’s targeted at first-time buyers. These small SUVs are now and again called “cute-utes. It is designed and created to the highest standard of performance and reliability and it will be the kind of crossover car that deftly keeps a delicate balance relating to the SUV and also a hatchback. At the end from the day, the Mazda CX-3 can be a sporty crossover that few comparably priced competitors can match.
