The 2-based Mazda CX-3 SUV has been unveiled in Los Angeles, and will go on sale around the world in 2015.
The new CX-3 is latest model in Mazda’s new car onslaught. Following on from the CX-5, 6, 3, 2 and MX-5, the CX-3 is the sixth car in the range to sport the company’s Kodo design theme, and the first amongst them to have a blacked out D-pillar to create a floating roof effect.
On the inside, like the recent 3, 2 and MX-5, the CX-3 features a high quality interior with a floating tablet-style high-res display in the centre of the dash. The so-called Mazda Connect (or MZD Connect) system is available on high-end models, and allows the entertainment and nav systems to be controlled via a touchscreen or centre tunnel knob.
Available features include LED driving lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, head-up display, leather or suede interior,
In North America the CX-3 will be powered by the company’s 2-litre SkyActiv petrol engine. Elsewhere a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel will also be offered.
The CX-3 will go on sale from around March in Japan.
