Mazda's all-new CX-3 offers all the essentials young, busy, on-the-go urbanites look for in a vehicle. Developed to suit customers' creative lifestyle in any scene, from inner-city driving to enjoying the great outdoors, CX-3 will be powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter gasoline engine exclusively in North America. Available in other markets will be the newly-introduced SKYACTIV-D 1.5-liter clean diesel engine. Output details and specifications will be revealed at a later date, closer to launch.
Power will be transferred to either the front wheels, or through Mazda's new-generation all-wheel-drive system, and CX-3 also will be equipped with Mazda's unique SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission. Because driving pleasure and driving safety go hand-in-hand, CX-3 will offer a wide range of Mazda's latest active, passive and in-car-infotainment technologies, including the Mazda Connect infotainment system and i-ACTIVSENSE advanced safety features.
The Mazda CX-3 will be on display throughout the run of the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, along with the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata which also makes its public debut at the show. Additionally, the full lineup of 2015 model-year Mazdas will be on display, as well as special racing and one-off project vehicles.
Further information on the all-new 2016 CX-3 and new information on the 2016 MX-5 can be found in the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show Press Kit on the Mazda USA Media site.
