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 combines attractive exterior design with a well-equipped cabin. Available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines, it delivers reasonable performance and frugal fuel consumption. The entry-level SE trim includes cruise control, air-conditioning, DAB radio, and Bluetooth, whilst higher trims add satnav, climate control, autonomous emergency braking, and premium features like adaptive LED headlights and a Bose sound system. The infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone integration.
However, the CX-3 falls short in practicality compared to some rivals, with limited rear headroom and a modest 350-litre boot. The driving experience, whilst competent, lacks the engaging character expected from Mazda, with less feedback through the steering and a ride that can feel unsettled over bumps. The 1.8-litre diesel achieves around 55mpg in real-world driving, whilst the 2.0-litre petrol engines return approximately 40-46mpg. Insurance premiums are affordable, and servicing costs are reasonable with fixed-price plans available.
Best for: Buyers seeking an attractively styled compact SUV with good standard equipment and reasonable running costs, particularly those prioritising exterior appeal and engine choice.
Not ideal for: Those needing maximum rear passenger space or boot capacity, drivers expecting engaging handling characteristics, or buyers wanting the most comfortable ride in the compact SUV segment.
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 | 33.2% | 4.2/5 |
| Seat Arona | 4/5 | 4.3/5 | 37.2% | 4.4/5 |
| Renault Captur | 4/5 | 4.4/5 | 35.2% | 4.4/5 |
| Nissan Juke | 3/5 | 4.4/5 | 34.6% | 4.2/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the CX-3 if: You prioritise attractive styling and good standard equipment, seek reasonable running costs, or want a choice of petrol and diesel engines in a compact SUV.
Consider alternatives if: You need maximum rear passenger space or boot capacity, desire engaging handling characteristics, or require the most comfortable ride quality in the segment.
Competitive Position: The Mazda CX-3 (2015-2021) is a stylish contender in the compact SUV market, offering attractive design and good standard specification. However, it faces stiff competition from the Seat Arona and Renault Captur, which both score higher on expert ratings and offer better practicality and ride comfort. The CX-3's main strengths lie in its visual appeal and engine options, but its limitations in rear space and driving dynamics mean it may not suit all buyers. For those prioritising style and equipment over maximum practicality, it remains a solid choice with competitive running costs. Read our full Mazda CX-3 Review
