Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Arona is perfectly ok, but Seat found it too easy to leap on the small-crossover bandwagon. They just faxed it in. Get a Leon instead.

Pros
Decent chassis,
good infotainment system and tech

Cons
Updated cabin still a little drab,
trim levels restrict your kit choices

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Looks great
Well equipped across the range
Nice and easy to drive

Cons
Tight on space for rear passengers
Lags behind on boot space
Some cheap-feeling interior bits

By:

For 2021 Forward collision warning system can now detect pedestrians at night.

Pros
Attractive and comfortable interior
Engaging driving experience
Impressive fuel economy
Good selection of driver aids and active safety features

Cons
Below-average cargo space
Cramped rear seat
Suspension tuning could be too firm for some

The 2021 Mazda CX-3 is an agile crossover with quick acceleration and good fuel economy, but it lacks rear passenger space and has a limited cargo hold. This vehicle does not have an overall score or ranking because it has not been evaluated for predicted reliability.

Pros
Athletic handling
Punchy acceleration
Upscale interior
Long list of standard safety features

Cons
Snug rear seat
Engine struggles at highway speeds
Small cargo space

By:

Mazda has made no changes to its smallest SUV for 2021, as the CX-3 enters the new model year exactly as it was in 2020. Mazda has announced that 2021 will be the final model year for the CX-3.

Pros
Spunky driving dynamics,
fuel-efficient powertrain,
cheeky exterior styling.

Cons
Tight rear seat and cargo space,
unrefined four-cylinder engine,
flinty ride.
