The 2019 Mazda CX-3 is a compact crossover that combines sporty styling with sharp handling and solid build quality, making it a great choice for drivers who value both looks and driving enjoyment. Powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine or a 1.8-litre diesel, it offers a smooth ride and decent fuel efficiency, with optional all-wheel drive and either a manual or automatic gearbox. The interior feels more upmarket than many rivals, especially on higher trims, with features like a touchscreen infotainment system, leather seats and a head-up display. While it’s fun to drive and easy to park, the rear seats and boot are on the smaller side, so it’s better suited to individuals, couples or small families rather than those needing lots of space.
