The highly anticipated SUV from the Japanese automaker Mazda, the Mazda CX-3 would look like this, when it would go on sale in 2014/2015, although the computer generated images show us the that it would be jacked up version of the next generation Mazda2 city car, and this would be like a baby brother to the CX-5 and CX-9 SUVs.
The sources state that, the CX-3 will adopt Mazda‘s new face, the five point grille, that’s linked to the headlights, via a shaped chrome bar – as well as the company’s Skyactiv technologies that focus on reducing weight and increasing efficiency through all areas from chassis to gearbox. If the sources are to be believed then, the company is believed to be developing its smallest Skyactiv engine yet, a 1.3 liter turbocharged petrol engine that would be included the line-up for both the CX-3 and Mazda2, and could also make it into the third-generation Mazda3 small car. Also a 1.6-litre turbo diesel is also anticipated for the CX-3, giving the smallest Mazda3 even better fuel economy and emissions numbers than the 2.0-litre diesel of the CX-5 potentially less than 4.0L/100km and 100g/km.
The CX-5 is available in both front wheel drive and all wheel drive configuration, and the new variant is expected to be seen with, a front wheel drive only.
Take a look at the amazing computer generated images, which somehow resemble the upcoming, CX-3 SUV.
