Mazda CX-3

Following on from last year’s G-vectoring Control introduction with accompanying visual tweaks and safety-feature upgrades, Mazda’s CX-3 small SUV is set for another freshen-up come September. Retuned suspension combines with different tyres and new urethane in the front seats to make the CX-3 quieter and comfier around town, as well as more fun to drive, according to Mazda. A new 1.8-litre turbo-diesel will debut, along with a revised 2.0-litre petrol as per the latest CX-5, and there’s a new centre console design featuring an armrest and electric park brake.
