The 2019 Mazda CX-3 is part of the compact crossover's first generation, originally introduced in the 2016 model year. It is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 148 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It comes in three trim levels: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring, available in either front- or all-wheel drive. Standard features in the 2019 include a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and Mazda's voice command system. Mazda Connect Infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is available as an upgrade. The CX-3 also includes safety features like a rearview camera, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot monitoring. The 2019 model is notable for its subtly refined exterior design and a center armrest with built-in storage, not present in earlier models.
