The CX-3 is a beautiful 5-passenger subcompact utility vehicle from Mazda. It is bold in styling and can be optioned with the i-ACTIV AWD system. Not only is this AWD system capable of routing power to all four corners, it does so by making decisions based on numerous readings.

Sensors monitor driver input—gas, brake, and steering wheel—and outside conditions—temperature, road condition through front wheel torque, and engine load—and the AWD system decides on what is the optimal power distribution.

Mazda’s SKYACTIV technology helps to provide better performance and efficiency. SKYACTIV is a branding for Mazda’s initiative to improve fuel efficiency, safety, emission levels, and driving experience. The SKYACTIVE-G engine has been engineered to deliver more performance and efficiency by reducing friction, using specially designed pistons to improve compression ratio, and using a special 4-2-1 exhaust manifold.

The CX-3 feels like a top-quality high-end sporty car.
