The interior is both sporty and practical, offering supportive seating and a high-mounted infotainment screen operated via Mazda’s Commander Control.

Mazda’s i-Activsense safety suite may be included, offering advanced features such as blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. These systems help ensure peace of mind on every drive.

Exterior Design:
The Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint finish highlights the sculpted curves and athletic stance of the CX-3. LED headlights, 16- or 18-inch alloy wheels (depending on trim), and a roof-mounted spoiler give it a dynamic, upscale appearance. Despite its compact footprint, the CX-3 offers elevated ground clearance and crossover practicality for active lifestyles.
