Short test: Mazda CX-3 G150 MT 4WD Revolution Top // Crossover for driver
Especially if this is how we went on the test. In the test, the Mazda CX-3 was the strongest. 150 horsepower gasoline engine combined with a six-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive with G-Vectoring torque vectoring.
The work of this combination will appeal primarily to the driver, since the engine running on Mazda it remains firmly atmospheric and four-cylinder, moderate fuel consumption provides ample power for sporty acceleration, the transmission is precise and well tuned to engine ratios, and the steering wheel and chassis provide good ground contact and precise and predictable handling. However, with four-wheel drive, you will cover a fairly long distance on poorly maintained surfaces. Mazda CX-3 so even after the overhaul, it remains a driver-centered car like we are with this car, and after all, all Mazdas have gotten used to it ever since.
But this does not mean that passengers in it will become worse. There's plenty of comfortable seating in the front seats, and a bit less in the rear, but within the class's expectations. Mazda CX-3 is, after all, a small crossover, it has the appropriate roominess and trunk. Assistance systems have been improved and the infotainment system has remained the same as other recent Mazdas, with a relatively small screen and only operable when the car is not moving. As a result, the driver remains at the disposal of the controller in the center console, which is even more efficient than touch control. In addition to the regulator, one of the new features that the Mazda CX-3 received after the refurbishment is a parking brake switch instead of a mechanical lever.
Despite the facelift, the Mazda CX-3 remains one of the oldest small crossovers on the market, but with more restrained design changes, it brings just enough freshness to more or less keep up with the competition.
