CarTell take
We haven't driven the CX-3 yet. On paper, the 8.0-inch screen is small and dated against new rivals, and touch input is supported only when parked.
Why consider it
- Cabin quality usually class-leading at this price, with i-Activsense safety standard across the range and AWD optional on the top grade.
What to know
- 264 L boot is the smallest in the segment, and the 2015 ANCAP 5-star rating is now expired under the new protocols.
Who it suits
Inner-city buyers, downsizers and first-time SUV buyers who want a sub-4.3 m footprint and Mazda interior quality at small-SUV prices.
