Thread: New Mazda CX-3

Just a few pics from the press launch this morning.
The 1.5 diesel is a tad over 1.1 million.

is it supposed to be a Juke competitor ?

though the Juke-R would be a fun plaything

Each one is hand-built with a racing roll cage, wild body work, and the GT-R’s 545-hp twin-turbocharged V-6 engine and all-wheel drive. Oh yeah, and a price tag in the neighborhood of $590,000.

Since I am in the market for a new ride, this diesel model attracts my attention. The price list I have from Mazda must be for last year's models since the diesel is not listed. Are these available in Thailand now, or does one have to wait until the new year?

What is the dependability of this diesel engine? I have already ruled out the new MG6 due to lack of dependability and have recently been looking at the new Mazda 3.

I see the diesel listed on the Thai Mazda website, so I guess the next challenge is to actually find one. Not in Udon or Khon Kean. Maybe Bangkok.

Went to the Mazda dealer in Udon today and drove a demo CX3. Nice ride and the dealer is saying another two months before the diesel model arrives. They have our phone number and will call when they have one to show us. I do not want to order until I see the diesel model in person.

Overall, I was impressed with the CX3 in person, even though it was a 2015.
