Mazda CX-3 2026 Updates

How much is the Mazda CX-3 2024 price?

The new Mazda CX-3 2024 starts at AED 69,250 and goes up to AED 101,000 ex-showroom. It has four variants which run on a 2.0L engine. It competes with some key models that includes the Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks, and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

How many variants does Mazda CX-3 have?

The 2024 Mazda CX-3 is available in four variants: Standard, Core, High, and Luxury. It offers several options for features, has a competitive price, and gets the job done by performance.

Which one would be the most value-for-money variant?

The Core variant of the 2024 Mazda CX-3 strikes a perfect balance between features and price. The list includes a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, advanced safety features, and 18-inch alloy wheels. 

It starts at AED 69,250, surely a great value for money since one would expect higher models to have this bunch of features.

 

What features does the Mazda CX-3 get?

Feature offerings differ at each variant, but some key highlights of the feature list include LED headlamps with DRLs, the Mazda Connect infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen display, 18-inch alloy wheels, and dual-zone climate control. 

Other features available on higher variants include leather upholstery, Active Driving Display, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Advanced Smart City Brake Support.

 

How spacious is it?

With the Mazda CX-3, five adults will ride in comfort, though rear legroom and headroom may be a tad snug for taller passengers. The cabin is well thought out and cozy to provide comfort on long drives. The back seats fold down to extend storage and, therefore, can be versatile for different needs. 

It's perfect, mainly to carry your everyday stuff or pack for those short weekend escapes, with a boot space of 350 litres. However, the shallow-booted estate means it is better suited to smaller luggage rather than larger, bulkier items.

 

What engine and transmission options are available?

The 2024 Mazda CX-3 is offered with only one engine variant, and it boasts a smooth automatic transmission, touting smooth performance paired with fuel economy:

 

  • 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G Petrol Engine: The engine develops 148hp/195Nm of torque, paired to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. With this drivetrain, the car gets a well-balanced drive, be it in city commutes or longer highway drives. The Mazda CX-3 also boasts Mazda's Skyactiv-Drive technology for immediate acceleration and smooth gear shifts that easily adapt to various driving conditions.

 

What’s the mileage of Mazda CX-3 2024?

From the claimed mileage, the Mazda CX-3 2024 fuel consumption figures with its 2.0-litre SKYACTIV-G Petrol engine are about 15.5 kmpl under standard driving conditions​

 

How safe is the Mazda CX-3 2024?

The Mazda CX-3 2024 offers essential safety features such as: ABS, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, i-ACTIV ASENSE with Smart City Brake Support, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. 

Higher trims get G-Vectoring Control that should give it extra stability. Its SKYACTIV-BODY uses a light material structure and high-tensile steel to realize higher collision safety performance and reduce injury in the event of an accident.

 

How many color options are there?

The 2024 Mazda CX-3 is available in seven-color options: Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Machine Grey Metallic, Snowflake White Pearl Mica, Jet Black Mica, Deep Crystal Blue Mica, Eternal Blue Mica, and Ceramic Metallic

 

Should You Buy the 2024 Mazda CX-3?

The Mazda CX-3 is an elegant, compact SUV featuring a desirable premium feel and good to drive around the city. This features almost all key features including safety and advanced tech fronts. However, with the prices skewed towards the higher side, you may also want to have a look at the rivals - the Hyundai Kona or Kia Seltos—offering more space and hybrid options.

 

What are my alternatives?

For 2024, the Mazda CX-3 competes in a crowded compact SUV field, rivaled by other strong contenders like Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, Toyota C-HR, and Honda HR-V

Also worth considering are the Nissan Kicks and Peugeot 2008. Of course, there are sedans too, with good options being the Mazda3, Honda Civic, and Hyundai Elantra.

 

Other things to consider:

If you are chasing a sportier Mazda CX-3, then you might want to take a look at the CX-3 GT Sport derivative, which offers additional styling and features for a slight premium. Mazda isn't sitting on its thumbs; EV models are being worked on, but as yet, there's no official electric version of the CX-3.

  • Elegant Appeal and sleek design

    Under AED 80K, the Mazda CX-3 could be a compelling option as the SUV crossovers have appealing looks and slight premiums. This includes the luxurious and comfortable interior with a sleek, modern design and seating for five. Then the CX3 gets features like a remote keyless illuminated entry system and automatic climate control with a pollen filter. Then selection of leather seating, a sunroof, and a Bose sound system for an enhanced experience. The CX-3 is equally appealing from exterior too, for example short overhangs, a roof-mounted shark-fin antenna, black side body garnish, and dual exhaust outlets.

  • Well-equipped safety features

    What prompted me to give a serious consideration to the CX3 is the number of safety features that are on offer. I know several of its competitors also offer but I think Mazda is way ahead, in terms of its features. Like the entire i-Activsense suit gives you confidence and high comfort and protection with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, etc. There are several customers like me who now want a more safe car, and so it becomes a key selling point for me at least before I make a purchase decision.

  • Visually further enticed version from the house of Mazda

    When I first came across this model, I could easily point out certain alterations that its recent or most upgraded version has witnessed. Few very noteworthy such changes are like there are certain visual tweaks in terms of its fog lights, taillights, grille and bumper. Now comes the turn to define its interior section. The moment I got into it I was introduced to a space that has seen revision in terms of its luxury. The exterior may seem to be pretty compact yet the interior section offers enough of space to ensure the passengers are not deprived of enough of head or leg rooms.

  • Floats like a cloud on the street

    Mazda CX-3 exhibits the penchant of the brand for exciting driving dynamics, sleek styling, and upscale interior design. I’m especially amazed with its ride quality and handling. It floats like a cloud on the city streets and I don’t feel any kind of discomfort over bumpy roads. Its responsive steering makes it effortless to find its way through fast, flowing turns. Body control is quite good, and everything from high-speed highway dips to speed bumps is dispatched beautifully. Another great thing about this vehicle is that broken pavement doesn't take a toll on its ride quality.

  • Smallest subcompact SUV model from Mazda brand

    As far as my knowledge goes this is the smallest edition from Mazda when it comes to subcompact SUVs. The car has lot of aspects to intrigue potential car lovers. Say the cabin quality is actually plush. The driving demeanor will always leave a lasting impression in driver’s mind as it is so much fun filled. The exterior styling is equally captivating and cheeky one. Must say this can be easily considered to be one of the noteworthy options when it comes to small crossovers. The moment you drive this on twisty roads its eager chassis will wonderfully cooperate with you to simplify the driving experience.

  • Perfect for small families

    I'm impressed with the handling of the Mazda CX-3. I have ridden even the most luxurious cars, but no other car handles better than Mazda in its class. Even though the car is small, it fits all the members of my family well. I'm 6' 2", my wife if 5' 3", and my daughter is 3.5 years old, and this car provides comfortable space for everyone. The acceleration doesn't take my breath away, but it is enough for daily commutes. It also looks good and is very responsive. The only area where it needs improvement is the suspension tuning, which is a bit stiff.

  • A Very Practical Tourer!

    This car has put me on the advantageous side of owning a four-wheeler. This was my first ever purchase of a four-wheeler and I was not sure of my wit in choosing the right vehicle that curtails the hindrances on the road conditions of the middle east region, my residential areas. But this car just did not fail me. With a 48-liter fuel tank and a very good mileage of 6-l for every 100 kilometers, it has allowed me to tag it as a very fuel-efficient vehicle. Moreover, the functionality and drivability of this car are also to the point.

  • The best compact SUV in the market

    I have been driving the Mazda CX-3 for over nine months now. The day I purchased it I knew that there was something different about this car. Not only does it have beautiful looks but also boasts a subtle and well-designed cabin space that favours the driver as well as the passengers. The 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine comes mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and delivers enough power and torque for the daily commute. There is ample legroom and headspace inside the cabin and the boot is pretty big as well. To sum it up, the CX-3 is the best compact SUV ever built.
