Mazda CX-3 buying guide

What types of used Mazda CX-3 cars are there?

The Mazda CX-3 is a compact SUV that still benefits from the high driving position and increased practicality of larger models, such as the CX-5.

Its 350-litre boot is pretty average for this class of car, and gives you about as much space as you’d get in a family hatchback.

The most impressive thing about the CX-3 is that, for all its focus on practicality and comfort, it’s still really fun to drive. You can choose from a few brilliant engines, and there’s a variety of trims to pick between – including the flashy GT Sport.

Mazda stopped selling the CX-3 in 2021, and although it was based on the small Mazda2, you might also want to consider the Mazda3-based CX-30 is you’re after something newer.

Popular Mazda CX-3 trims

Typical of all Mazda models, any CX-3 for sale is guaranteed to be well-specified.

> Mazda CX-3 SE Nav+ - Affordable pick with lots of car tech, comforts and high-quality materials

> Mazda CX-3 SE-L Nav+ - Popular pick with more essentials like all-round parking sensors and heated seats

> Mazda CX-3 Sport Nav+ - Sporty-looking car with more kit, including reversing camera and keyless entry

Mazda CX-3 history

Only one version of the Mazda CX-3 was ever on sale, but Mazda does have other small crossovers to pick from.

> First-generation Mazda CX-3 (2015) - Compact crossover with hatchback-like driving dynamics

> Facelifted Mazda CX-3 (2018) - Minor styling tweaks and kit level upgrades

What features does the Mazda CX-3 have?

Most Mazda CX-3 models are fitted with features like smartphone integration through the touchscreen infotainment system, with worthwhile upgrades including a Bose sound system and a head-up display.

All cars come with air-conditioning, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity, but it’s worth scouting out mid-spec models and above for additions like automatic lights and wipers, parking sensors and heated seats.

Despite the car’s compact dimensions and affordable price tag, top-spec editions get car tech like LED headlights, keyless entry and a reversing camera with all-round parking sensors.

Is the Mazda CX-3 reliable?

Mazda scores well for reliability, and the CX-3 is no exception, with few drivers noting any major issues.

Who is the Mazda CX-3 suitable for?

A used Mazda CX-3 for sale is a great pick for individuals and couples who prefer the raised ride height of a crossover, but it’s spacious enough to serve as a small family car, too.

Other small crossovers that are enjoyable to drive include the Nissan Juke and Ford Puma.
