Meet Mazda’s ‘baby’ SUV

New Mazda CX-3 unveiled at Los Angeles Auto Show – and all set to battle the Nissan Juke.

The CX-3 is Mazda’s first crossover SUV, will go on sale in Japan in Spring 2015 and will be offered in FWD and 4WD.

It will feature Mazda’s latest i-ACTIVSENSE active safety systems as well as “superb passive protection from its lightweight yet stiff” SKYACTIV-Body. The CX-3 will also offer an infotainment package including the MZD Connect in-car connectivity system.

European models will have a choice of three engines – the petrol SKYACTIV-G 2.0-litre in two power versions and the new SKYACTIV-D 1.5-litre clean diesel.
