AT its global launch in 2015, the Mazda CX-3 represented a benchmark for a new type of crossover that bridged the gap between the Asian and the German automotive brands.
This award-winning crossover was designed to be stylish, superbly ergonomic with a heads-up cabin, easy human-machine interface, safe and easy-to-use connectivity, and a vast array of active safety technologies.
Unsurprisingly, this approach combined with responsive yet efficient Skyactiv powertrain and exceptional car-like handling created a fast-selling product. The CX-3 became the best-selling vehicle in the crossover segment until the arrival of the Proton X50 last year. So, it was time for Bermaz (Mazda’s brand guardian in Malaysia) to step up the game and introduce the latest version of this sexy crossover.
This new Mazda CX-3 responds to customer feedback with design and technology advances in several key areas. In a design that raises the standard of radical styling and eye-catching elegance.
This 2021 Mazda CX-3 has been updated with a modern, stylish cabin with well-appointed standard features such as Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, new leatherette-fabric seats, and 360° View Monitor being new standard features for the 2021 model.
Other premium standard features include an Active Driving Display, a seven-inch, full-color touchscreen display with Mazda Connect, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio, and a six-speaker audio system. These features can be safely accessed through the multi-function commander knob or steering wheel-mounted controls.
Exterior aesthetics for the Mazda CX-3 includes All-LED exterior lighting as standard, such as headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights. To add function to form, the LED headlights have automatic on/off and automatic levelling capabilities. The CX-3 is styled with 18-inch aluminium alloy wheels, a roof spoiler, shark fin antenna, dual stainless-steel exhaust outlets, and an understated black front grille design that brings great depth and distinction. Newly added exterior features include a power sunroof as well as front parking sensors.
Delivered with high safety features, this Mazda CX-3 comes with 6 SRS Airbags (Front Driver & Passenger, Side, and Curtain), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Traction Control System (TCS), Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), and Hill Launch Assist (HLA).

Newly added advanced safety features include High Beam Control (HBC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Driver Attention Alert (DAA), and Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) for the Front & Rear.

Also, the engine offers smooth, linear acceleration and a premium performance driving feel complimented by Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control technology.
