Earlier this week, we talked about why Mazda won’t build a successor for the RX-8. We are now back on the Japanese topic, this time to talk about something that Mazda will build shortly, namely the CX-3 crossover.
As we previously reported, the Mazda CX-3 is set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19, so these pics, which come from a Russian CX-3 enthusiast site, is just a small taste of things to come. The entry-level model of the CX line-up should borrow the Mazda2 platform and will be brought to the world via at least one factory, namely Mazda Mexico.
Mazda has recently offered us a teaser image of the CX-3 and, judging by the aggressive appearance of the image, we could get a concept, not the actual car, in LA. We’ll remind you the Mazda2 followed a similar pathway - the company first showed us the Hazumi concept, which sparked the hilarious Angry Birds front fascia design comments. A few months later, the production car was revealed.
In the already-crowded segment where the CX-3 will play, vehicles are generally split into two main categories. Those that offer technical assets such as all-wheel drive and optional automatic transmissions and those that go with the cheap trend, sticking to front-wheel drive and manuals.
