Mazda CX-3

Price $21,800 – $31,800
Fuel consumption 6.9 – 8.8 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 71%(view ratings)
Despite the addition of the more modern CX-30 to the lineup in 2020, the little CX-3 sticks around—at least in Canada as it won’t return to the U.S. for 2022. A few equipment revisions are in store, while the selection of body colours gets a couple of changes. Under the hood of the CX-3, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine produces 148 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is optional.
