The Mazda CX-3 has already proven itself a popular choice among consumers looking for the perfectOpen trunk of car crossover, packing some serious “big car” attitude into the brand’s signature subcompact SUV. But the new 2021 model brings with it even more reasons to rave about the vehicle, making it an ideal ride for anyone looking for versatility, superior road handling, and value-added features.

5 Reasons Drivers Love the 2021 Mazda CX-3

1. It’s the Best of Both Worlds

Some drivers want to dominate the road in the biggest vehicle they can find, but fans of the CX-3 know there can be much more fun to be had in a perfectly-sized crossover.

In fact, the kicky and athletic, car-like design of the SUV lends itself to being a great option for anyone looking for the maximum driveability and hatchback-style look and performance of a smaller vehicle, while offering the added benefits of sturdiness and greater visibility of something larger.

2. It’s Fun To Drive

Mazda fans will appreciate that the 2021 CX-3 delivers the brand’s signature precision steering style, and that, even with its smaller size, the Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine still ensures a powerful and nimble ride with impressive torque and well-balanced suspension that makes for a truly enjoyable driving experience.

Worried about grip and security in poor weather conditions? Mazda’s available i-Activ all-wheel drive offers the extra control and agility that will give drivers extra peace of mind.

3. It’s Fuel-Efficient

The CX-3’s size definitely helps it win points for fuel economy. With a competitive estimated 29 mpg city and 34 mpg highway for the standard model, and 27 mpg city and 32 mpg highway for the all-wheel-drive option, the CX-3 is a win for both the environment and your wallet at the gas pump.

4. It Boasts High Safety Ratings

Mazda takes its safety rating seriously, and with the CX-3, it certainly shows. The 2021 model has earned an overall five-star rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a five-out-of-five reliability rating from Consumer Reports, and was also named one of the year’s top safety picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Standard safety features on the CX-3 include 3-point seat belts for all seats, advanced front airbags, an anti-lock brake system (ABS) with brake assist technology, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and smart brake support with collision warning, to name a few.

5. It’s Stylish

The design of the CX-3 makes it a sleek and sporty counterpart to most bulky SUVs, and at a lower price point versus its competitors (it starts at just over $20,000), the vehicle also boasts a modern and upscale cabin, with chrome detailing, black cloth interior, leather soft touchpoints, and a 7.0-inch head-up display touchscreen infotainment system.

Other standard features include Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a six-speaker stereo, voice recognition, and automatic climate control.

The 2021 CX-3 is a top choice in the Mazda lineup for car buyers, offering optimum versatility and plenty of impressive features. Want to learn more? Contact Mazda City of Orange Park today to schedule a test drive.
