For Mazda, safety is just as important as the fun of driving.

Covering a broad range of driving situations, systems such as Advanced Smart City Brake Support* which automatically applies the brakes should it detect a frontal low-speed collision is likely. The Lane Departure Warning System* alerts you should you stray from your lane when driving on dual carriageways or motorways. (*Both systems feature on SE-L Nav+ and Sport Nav+ models).​

Interior craftsmanship

A calm, welcoming space that stimulates the senses, with no distractions so you stay focused on enjoying the drive, that’s how interior has been designed. There’s a feeling of unity all around you, created by zoning colours and materials. Rich grey used on the dashboard and door panels adds to the sophisticated atmosphere. The dashboard and door trims enhance the feel with suede-leather type material.

Full leather seats

Optional Stone full leather seats beautifully co-ordinate with the interior colour scheme, especially the rich grey of the dashboard and door panels, heightening the look and feeling of high quality details and refinement.

Flexible interior

With 60/40 split seating, 2018 Mazda CX-3 offers versatility within the interior.

18” Alloy wheels

KODO Design styling of the bodywork is enhanced with the latest 18” Silver alloy wheels* with spokes that increase the width of the positive curve from the centre out towards the rim. Not only do they appear longer, the wheels look larger, conveying movement and depth.

Front grille

The 2018 Mazda CX-3 features an enhanced design and look with eight bars in pairs of fine and bold thickness. It accentuates the sharp, sculpted body styling, providing a more mature, refined expression, with greater depth and quality.

PERFORMANCE

Ride comfort

You will notice how well the Mazda CX-3 performs on different road surfaces. The chassis dynamics, suspension and steering system provide you with a direct connection to the road resulting in the car moving exactly as you intend it to. Enjoy a confident, relaxed journey every day.

Adaptive LED Headlights

Designed to work at night, the system automatically analyses vehicles ahead or those approaching in the opposite direction, and automatically adjusts between high and low beams by switching LED bulbs on and off as necessary. This makes it possible to drive with the high beam on at all times, significantly improving visibility when driving at night, without dazzling other drivers. (Available as part of the optional Safety Pack on selected Sport Nav+ models at additional cost)

Smoother ride

When you drive over bumpy road surfaces, the softer 18” tire for the 2018 Mazda CX-3 absorbs the impact and makes journeys comfortable and refined for every passenger. Innovation in design means that the tyre is softer without sacrificing fuel economy and shortens the braking distance. Stay refreshed on long journeys.

G-Vectoring Control

You can control the 2018 Mazda CX-3 easily and precisely thanks to our enhancements to the steering system and G-Vectoring Control. The first of the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS Technology series, G-Vectoring Control intelligently adjusts engine torque in response to steering inputs and optimises load on each wheel. The result? A dramatic improvement to steering and handling performance for smoother acceleration and an even more thrilling drive.

All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

When road and weather conditions are challenging, you want total comfort and control. The highly-efficient, new-generation i-ACTIV AWD system lets you celebrate driving and enjoy perfect Jinbai Ittai experience, delivering powerful performance without sacrificing fuel efficiency. As you drive, 27 sensors check conditions 200 times a second and the way you drive, then transfers power to the wheels with the most traction for a dynamic and confident drive.
