The car is packed full of features that you would pay a fortune for in a European car: Sat Nav, parking sensors, lane departure warning, cruise control, electric folding mirrors and heated seats! All this at the price of a small family car. The boot could be larger but its adequate for our purposes. It compares well to tha Honda HRV and the Toyota CHR but both of them are pricier.

For a small car this has a lot going for it. I struggled to find a replacement for my Subaru Outback and this came closest to it. Yes its not got the luxury of the Subaru but it has plenty of its own. The only dessapointment is the boot size. Great little car

Compact crossover with a lot of car for your money. Some quirky little controls which could be made easier but over a comfy ride and very stylish look. Would recommend the automatic in this model. Great little manual option on the gear drive consul with the flick of a the wrist.

Mazda CX-3 (2015-2021) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Attractive looks | Not as roomy in the back or boot as some rivals |
| Reasonably strong engines | Doesn't drive with the verve you'd expect of a Mazda |
| Well equipped as standard | A Skoda Kamiq has a more comfortable ride |
Quick Summary
The Mazda CX-3 (2015-2021) is a stylish compact SUV that delivers attractive exterior design and a well-equipped cabin as standard. Available with three capable engines—a 1.8-litre diesel and two 2.0-litre petrol options—the CX-3 offers reasonable performance and impressive fuel economy across the range. The diesel variant achieves around 55mpg in real-world driving, whilst the petrol engines deliver approximately 40-46mpg depending on specification. With a 350-litre boot expanding to 1,260 litres with rear seats folded, it provides adequate practicality for most users.
However, the CX-3 falls short of expectations in several areas. Rear passenger space is notably cramped compared to rivals like the Seat Arona, and the ride quality is disappointing for a Mazda, with noticeable body roll and a firm suspension that struggles over bumps. The infotainment system is clunky to operate, and refinement at motorway speeds is compromised by wind, road, and engine noise. Whilst it's a competent compact SUV with good looks and equipment, it lacks the driving engagement Mazda is known for, making it less compelling than some competitors in this crowded segment.
Best for: Buyers seeking an attractive, well-equipped compact SUV with reasonable fuel economy and strong engines, particularly those prioritising style and standard equipment over rear space.
Not ideal for: Those needing maximum rear passenger or boot space, drivers expecting engaging Mazda handling characteristics, or buyers prioritising ride comfort over other factors.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mazda CX-3 | 3/5 | 4.8/5 | 38.0% | 4.2/5 |
| Seat Arona | 4/5 | 4.3/5 | 39.3% | 4.4/5 |
| Renault Captur | 4/5 | 4.4/5 | 36.3% | 4.4/5 |
| Nissan Juke | 3/5 | 4.4/5 | 37.5% | 4.2/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the CX-3 if: You prioritise attractive styling and comprehensive standard equipment, seek reasonable fuel economy with strong engine options, and are willing to compromise on rear space and driving dynamics.
Consider alternatives if: You require maximum rear passenger or boot space, expect engaging Mazda handling characteristics, or prioritise ride comfort above other factors.
Competitive Position: The Mazda CX-3 (2015-2021) is a stylish contender in the compact SUV segment, offering attractive design and good standard equipment. However, it struggles to match rivals like the Seat Arona for ride quality and practicality, or the Renault Captur for interior flexibility. Whilst it delivers reasonable performance and fuel economy, the CX-3 lacks the driving engagement expected from Mazda, making it a less compelling choice than some competitors. For buyers prioritising aesthetics and equipment over space and handling, it remains a solid option in a competitive market.
