    Mazda CX-3 2023 review: Akari LE petrol long-term | Part 2
    By Justin Hilliard · 19 Dec 2022
    The first-generation Mazda CX-3 is now eight years old, which means it's quite old in automotive terms. And while that may mean some of its key technology is dated, it's still a very stylish option in the Light SUV segment, albeit not a particularly practical one.

    Mazda CX-3 2022 review: Maxx Sport FWD
    By Helen Frost · 25 Jun 2022
    The Mazda CX-3 Maxx Sport is one of the most popular cars in the light SUV category. It's little, has a decent engine compared to some others in its class and features the classic Mazda curves. The Sport upgrade gives it a racy feel inside and there are a couple of thoughtful features included as well. It's worth considering for a small family but does feel a bit dated, especially on the inside.

    Mazda CX-3 2021 review: Neo Sport
    By Byron Mathioudakis · 02 Mar 2021
    When the Mazda CX-3 was launched back in early 2015, there were not too many truly compact SUVs, and none as sporty or stylish as this. Now, more than six years on, it continues to set the pace in sales, but a series of constant improvements means the latest base grade - the Neo Sport - still holds more than a few surprises after all this time. The Japanese crossover remains a top quality choice.
