Owning a Mazda CX-3

A used Mazda CX-3 delivers a premium ownership experience with decent build quality and competitive running costs. The CX-3's upmarket interior features some soft-touch materials and distinctive eyeball air vents, though the infotainment system lacks Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on older models.

Reliability is generally strong, with most issues being minor electrical glitches rather than major mechanical problems. Fuel economy impresses across the range, while insurance and servicing costs remain reasonable for the small SUV class.

The CX-3 suits buyers wanting SUV style without compromising on efficiency or parking ease. Four adults fit reasonably comfortably, though rear space is modest compared to larger SUVs. The boot is big enough to handle large suitcases or several cabin bags adequately.

The driving experience emphasises composure and refinement over outright sportiness, making it ideal for daily commuting and longer journeys alike.

Mazda CX-3 FAQs

There’s just one version of the Mazda CX-3 – a five-door, five-seat SUV with a hatchback boot lid. It’s essentially an SUV version of the charming Mazda 2 supermini, but with dimensions that bring it closer to the larger Mazda 3 hatchback.

As a small SUV, there’s loads of competition facing the CX-3. Models like the Volkswagen T-Roc, Nissan Juke, Audi Q2, Skoda Kamiq, Peugeot 2008, Citroen C3 Aircross and Ford Puma are all popular choices the Mazda must face off against.

The CX-3 measures in at a little over 4.2 metres long. That puts it among the smallest SUVs you can buy in the UK, taking up a similar amount of road space as a Volkswagen Golf.

Mazda’s ethos is usually led more by style and sportiness, so the CX-3 doesn’t quite match the likes of the Skoda Kamiq or Peugeot 2008 for outright practicality. Nevertheless, there’s enough room for a pair of adults in the back seats provided neither front passenger is especially tall. The 350-litre boot, similarly, is big enough for most day-to-day tasks but isn’t as spacious as the most practical cars in this segment. Top-spec cars with a Bose sound system have a little less boot space.
