What’s Changed on the 2017 Mazda CX-3

So, what has actually changed on the 2017 model? Well, not much, and that’s a good thing. The 2016 CX-3 was a popular and highly successful model, and there wasn’t really anything that needed to be upgraded.

That said, Mazda has found a couple ways to make the model even more of a great value for drivers on a budget. The Touring trim, for example, now comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels. The Grand Touring trim now offers Mazda’s available suite of safety technologies, i-ACTIVSENSE, at a lower MSRP than the year before. Drivers will now find that it comes at an MSRP of $1,170 rather than $1,920.

Despite the changes, drivers will find that the CX-3 still has the same starting MSRP from the 2016 model year, at $19,960. The Touring model has an MSRP of $21,960 and the Grand Touring has an MSRP of $24,990.

The 2017 Mazda CX-3 will come equipped with a 146-horsepower SKYACTIV engine producing up to 146 lb-ft of torque. Standard features include a 7-inch color touchscreen, push-button start, USB port and power mirrors. Mazda’s predictive i-ACTIV AWD is available.

If the couple of changes to the CX-3’s features doesn’t matter much to you, you can still schedule a test drive with the 2016 model here at Mazda of Lodi. Otherwise, if more affordable i-ACTIVSENSE or 18-inch alloy wheels are high up on your list of desired features, then you can wait for the 2017 Mazda CX-3 on-sale date here in Bergen County NJ.
