2017 Mazda CX-3 Irvine CA

The 2017 Mazda CX-3 will be arriving here to Capistrano Mazda any day now, and many drivers can't help but wonder what's changed on the model for the new model year. Since the CX-3 was a brand new addition to the subcompact segment last year, few changes are expected. That said, if you're looking for the 2017 Mazda CX-3 near Irvine CA, there are a few updates you'll need to be aware of.

First of all, we must answer the question of when you'll be able to get behind the wheel. At Capistrano Mazda, we're happy to schedule test drives for any new Mazda models in our inventory.

2017 Upgrades

Like we said, few changes were expected for the 2017 model year after the CX-3's huge first-year success. That said, Mazda has found a way to sweeten the deal a bit by making a couple popular features more attainable. The 18-inch alloy wheels now come with the mid-level Touring model instead of the Grand Touring. If you do opt for the Grand Touring trim, however, you'll be delighted to find that Mazda has lowered the MSRP on its available i-ACTIVSENSE® suite of safety technologies.

Performance

Few knew what to expect from the CX-3 when it first launched. Would it be fun to drive? Would it really be versatile? Well, it is a Mazda after all, so you bet it's a blast to drive thanks in part to its SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY® engine producing 146 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, while still managing as much as 35 mpg highway. Plus, Mazda's impressive i-ACTIV® AWD system comes available on any trim level. The system is capable of predicting wheel slips before they occur by monitoring driving conditions and factors.

Features

The Mazda CX-3 comes generously equipped with standard equipment such as a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, Bluetooth, a USP port and push-button start. The Touring trim will get you features like heated exterior side mirrors, leatherette and cloth seats, heated front seats and Blind Spot Monitoring, while the top level Grand Touring model delivers leather and Lux Suede seats, LED headlights, navigation and a head-up Active Driving Display.
