The updated Mazda
CX-3 is already on sale in the United States and Japan, and will finally arrive
in showrooms across Europe later this month.
The brand’s rival
to the likes of the Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur and other subcompact SUVs
debuts not only these modest updates, but a new diesel engine too, with 1.8
liters in displacement, said to meet the WLTP emissions requirements.
From
October 1, the automaker will launch the Mazda CX-3 Sport Black+. The special
edition model is limited to 500 units, all of them getting standard metallic
paint, black roof spoiler and side mirror caps, and a black leather interior,
in addition to a host of gear that has yet to be detailed.
Set to go on sale
in the United Kingdom from August 31, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 comes in three trim
levels called SE Nav+, SE-L Nav+ and Sport Nav+. The base model is available
from £ 18,995, the SE-L starts at £ 20,395 and the most affordable Sport will cost buyers at least £ 21,695.
All versions
mentioned here have a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. An automatic
gearbox is available in the SE-L and Sport grades, and the latter is the only
one that can be ordered with all-wheel drive.
Optional extras
include different metallic paints, leather seat trim with driver’s power and
memory seat, and the Safety Pack, which adds adaptive LED headlights, Rear
Smart City Brake Support with Driver Attention Alert, and Blind Spot Monitoring
with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
