The Mazda CX-3 is this brand's smallest vehicle, a subcompact crossover based on the
Mazda2 hatchback available in overseas markets. The CX-3 takes the subcompact part of its designation seriously: this is one of the smallest vehicles in its class. Its interior looks and feels pricier than it is, but is more snug than most competitors. The CX-3's main attractor is a fun-to-drive nature uncommon among affordable crossovers.
