Instead, its development focused on an entirely human-centric approach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">This resulted in a comfortable, superbly ergonomic, heads-up cabin and human-machine interface, responsive yet efficient Skyactiv powertrains, exceptional car-like handling and a vast array of active safety technologies. Unsurprisingly, this combination of tasteful, cutting-edge design and outstanding driving dynamics has found favour with a broad customer base.<\/p><div class=\"autoestrada-nel-contenuto autoestrada-entity-placement\" id=\"autoestrada-833783332\" style=\"position: relative;padding: 30px;border: 2px solid red;margin: 25px auto 35px;text-align: center;width: fit-content;\"><div class=\"autoestrada-adlabel\">Advertising<\/div><div id=\"autoestrada-2572225045\"><a href=\"https:\/\/get.1li.ch\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"1LI_AES_10_Promo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Building on this success, the 2021 Mazda CX-3 features a wide range of updates which integrate the latest Mazda technology and functionality with refreshed styling to make the compact SUV even easier and more enjoyable to live with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">The powertrain range has been simplified, and the CX-3 is now only available with Mazda&#8217;s Skyactiv-G 2.0 litre, 121\u00a0PS petrol engine mated to a choice of manual or automatic transmissions and front-wheel drive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Manual transmission variants benefit from Mazda&#8217;s cylinder deactivation system, which shuts off two cylinders during light-load operation or at cruising speeds, resulting in a 14% reduction in combined cycle fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">On board, the front seats have been upgraded to Mazda&#8217;s latest specification. The multimedia system has been enhanced with the addition of DAB+, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. The system now also supports the wireless connection of Apple CarPlay. In addition, a 360 degree overhead view monitor is now available, and the key fob has also been upgraded with a new design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">The exterior colour line-up has been expanded to include a Polymetal Grey Metallic finish for the first time on the Mazda CX-3 range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">When it comes to security, the CX-3&#8217;s range of i-Activsense safety technologies has been expanded to include Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS), now featuring a night-time pedestrian detection capability, and the automatic light function has been adjusted to switch on earlier at dusk or in poor visibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Finally, the 2021 CX-3 will be available as a Special Edition model. This combines a new interior colour scheme featuring white leatherette and suede-like upholstery with black centre stripes and piping, with black gloss exterior trim detailing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Designed to appeal to a wider customer base than ever before, the 2021 Mazda CX-30 goes on sale throughout Europe from the autumn of this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Exterior Design<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Polymetal Grey metallic exterior colour available for the first time on CX-3<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Special Edition model with gloss Black exterior trim detailing<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">The CX-3 represents an evolution of Mazda\u2019s Kodo &#8211; Soul of Motion design philosophy with a renewed focus on traditional Japanese design, which strips away ornamentation to reveal beautifully honed forms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">The front grille design features fins comprising two lines of differing thickness. This configuration helps the headlamps and signature wing stand out from afar, giving the front face a sharp look and greater three-dimensional depth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Fog lamp bezels, pillar garnishes and side garnish mouldings are finished in gloss black for a high-quality premium appearance. And the rear combination lamps adopt a ring shape combined with horizontal lines. The mechanical precision and depth of this design combines a mature, premium look with high-quality illumination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">A Polymetal Grey Metallic finish has been added to the CX-3 body colour line-up for the first time. It fuses the solid feel of metal with the uniquely smooth lustre of resin to create a new expression of quality. Adding further prestige to the appearance of the CX-3, the powerful, sculpted design of 18-inch aluminium alloy wheels featuring multi-faceted spokes provides a sense of depth, speed and increased size<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"><span lang=\"de-DE\">Lastly, the 2021 CX-3 will be available as a Special Edition model. This combines a new interior colour scheme with a gloss Black finish to the door mirror heads, front grille, pillars, and other exterior trim details.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At its launch in 2015, the Mazda CX-3 defied stereotypes and conventions as a new compact crossover SUV that transcended notions of vehicle class and segment.
