2018 – Mazda CX3 – White

Description

Overview & Simple Summary

The 2018 Mazda CX-3 in white is a stylish, subcompact crossover SUV that emphasizes sharp driver dynamics and upscale aesthetics. Known for its compact footprint and responsive handling, it brings Mazda’s signature “Kodo” design language to the urban crossover segment, offering an engaging ride alongside strong everyday efficiency.

Engine & Driving Dynamics

Power comes from a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G 4-cylinder petrol engine producing approximately 146 to 150 horsepower and 195 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission with Sport Mode and manual shift control. Available in either Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or i-Activ All-Wheel Drive (AWD), the CX-3 features Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control system, which subtly adjusts engine torque during cornering to improve steering feel and reduce driver fatigue.

White Exterior Styling & Features

The white paint options—such as Snowflake White Pearl or Ceramic Metallic—provide a striking contrast against the CX-3’s dark exterior trim elements:

• Front & Lighting: Features Mazda’s signature front grille with chrome wings, paired with halogen or adaptive LED headlights and LED daytime running lights on higher trims.

• Sporty Profile: Includes blacked-out pillar cladding, protective wheel arch molding, integrated roof spoiler, dual chrome exhaust tailpipes, and 16-inch to 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels.

Interior Comfort & Technology

• Driver Cockpit: Minimalist, driver-focused cabin layout with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, clear gauge cluster, and available Active Driving Display (Head-Up Display).

• Infotainment: 7-inch central touchscreen managed via the commander control dial, featuring Bluetooth connectivity, USB inputs, and voice command controls.

• Seating & Versatility: Accommodates 5 passengers with cloth, leatherette, or Lux Suede-accented seating options. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats expand cargo capacity from 231 liters up to over 1,100 liters when folded flat.

Safety & Fuel Efficiency

• i-Activsense Safety: Equipped with standard Smart City Brake Support (low-speed forward collision mitigation), along with available blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning.

• Fuel Economy: Offers impressive efficiency, returning an average of 6.1 to 6.8 L/100 km (~14.7–16.3 km/L) in combined city and highway driving.
