Engine: 2.0L Skyactiv-G (148 bhp)
The heart of the CX-3 is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that prioritizes a linear power delivery. Unlike many turbocharged competitors, this naturally aspirated unit offers immediate throttle response and high thermal efficiency, producing a balanced 148 bhp and 198 Nm of torque.
Gearbox: 6-Speed Automatic
Mazda eschews CVTs in favor of a 6-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission. It is engineered to provide the direct feel of a manual gearbox with the smooth shifting of a traditional torque converter, ensuring a more engaging driving experience.
