Mazda CX-3

So many crossovers have already been produced that they are split into several segments, and even the number of segments is growing. Mazda is setting aside for its new brainchild a segment that can be described as a “non-premium sub compact”, which includes the Honda HR-V, Nissan Juke, 500X, Renegade, etc. whose sales in America doubled in the next two years. Mazda plans to be ready for this with the all-new CX-3, a spacious, stylish crossover that can be rented from our DRC car rental company.

The CX-3 is based on the Mazda 2 B class car. The car is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2-liter engine with 146 hp and 146 Nm of torque.

The appearance of the car resembles a Mazda Kodo, with its flowing shapes and graceful lines. Compared to the HR-V and 500X, this is a work of art. It doesn’t have the same controversial design as the Nissan Juke. The inside of the car is spacious and comfortable. Adults can fit comfortably in the rear seats.

How does the MAZDA CX3 drive?

From 0 to 100 km / h, the car accelerates in about 10 seconds, or even less in 9. With 146 horsepower pulling 2,805 pounds, the throttle response is not as bad, if a little slow as you pick up speed. But with the tasks for which this crossover is intended, it copes. The automatic transmission has a sport mode, and there are paddles on the steering wheel for manual gear shifting. Cornering at speed rented Mazda CX-3 passes with slight roll but without skidding.

Should you rent a Mazda CX-3?

If you are looking for a compact crossover, you have a huge selection on the market. Each choice is good in its own way. The Jeep Renegade is versatile and good looking, but there are doubts about its reliability, the Nissan Juke is fast but so easy to drive.
The Cooper Countryman is a good choice if not for its bloated design and cost. The Honda HR-V has less power and torque than the Mazda CX-3 and is somewhat rough in design but handles well. There is nothing good to say about the Fiat 500X.

Against the backdrop of these offerings, the Mazda CX-3 looks like a great choice.
