EXTERIOR
The 2024 Mazda CX-3 upholds the Kodo design language used by its predecessors. Sleek lines and sculpted surfaces are highly emphasized for a premium look. LED headlights and daytime running lights inject modern sophistication, while the prominent grille gives it a wide stance on the road.
The side profile has short front & rear overhangs. Black plastic cladding surrounds the lower part of the vehicle, protecting its body components from damage while simultaneously lending it a rugged look. The rear features a roof spoiler for a sporty appearance, LED taillights for a distinctive look, and a power liftgate. Many people, especially ladies, love the wine red exterior color, but the CX-3 is available in multiple colors catering to its wide fanbase who have different preferences.

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2024 Mazda CX-3 has an elegant cabin that is quite premium for its class. Depending on the trim level, you have leather seats or fabric seats. Both rows have ample legroom and headroom. If you are very tall, you might want to consider not sitting in the second row, especially when going for long trips. If you have a big household and you want a Mazda with a three-row seating arrangement, we can get you the CX-80.
Connectivity between the occupants’ devices and the vehicle’s tech is enhanced courtesy of a touchscreen infotainment system. Other features include a head-up display, climate control, and multiple storage compartments, which improve comfort levels in the cabin.
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The 2024 Mazda CX-3 has compact dimensions that allow it to easily maneuver in confined spaces, unlike the bigger Mazda CX-80. The driver has a good sitting position with excellent visibility. Whether you step on the accelerator too much or not when traveling to Machakos, the fuel gauge will not give you any warning because the CX-3’s fuel economy is excellent.
On the highway, the ride is quite firm. The suspension system strikes a perfect balance between comfort and a bit of sportiness. The steering is light with very responsive feedback. For a safe ride, the CX-3 comes standard with a blind spot monitor, parking sensors, a lane departure warning, and autonomous emergency braking.
