The Mazda CX-3 seats five-and is available in three trim levels: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. Moreno Valley Mazda shoppers particularly enjoy the 2019 Mazda CX-3’s responsiveness. This crossover employs the familiar 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which now develops 148 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox with a manual-shift Sport mode. Not only is this powerplant smoother, but it’s also more fuel-efficient, with EPA-estimated fuel economy rated at 29 mpg city and up to 34 mpg highway.*
The Mazda CX-3 Anything But Ordinary
Buyers will be treated to class-leading handling and a sporty driving experience. The standard G-Vectoring Control system shifts the CX-3's weight when it takes a curve, helping to decrease body roll. Front-wheel drive is standard across the CX-3 lineup, but buyers can choose the available all-wheel-drive system, which increases grip when the crossover drives over slippery road surfaces.
