Mazda офіційно підтвердила появу нового CX-3 у 2027 році, хоча в тизері показала зовсім інший кросовер

Over the past few years, Mazda has grown its SUV lineup dramatically, yet the smallest member of that family has been left to coast. The CX-3 has carried on largely unchanged since 2014 and went out of production in Japan in early 2026, at which point its future looked uncertain. Now the company has confirmed that a new generation arrives next year, which settles the question.The confirmation came burried in Mazda’s mid-year financial report, which states the model keeps the CX-3 badge rather than switching to something like CX-20. The catch is that Mazda skipped a real teaser as the dark silhouette sitting beside the “next-generation CX-3” lettering is actually the previous-gen CX-5 (KF Series).More: Mazda Made A Song For Its New CX-5, And It’s As Bad As It SoundsWe still have a decent sense of what is coming, thanks to a pair of official sketches shown at an event in Thailand last year. The drawings show a sporty small SUV wearing the latest evolution of Mazda’s design language, with a front end that echoes the new CX-5 and a rear that pairs a coupe-style roofline with taillights close to those on the Vision X-Compact concept, the show car expected to evolve into the next Mazda2. Unlike other jointly developed projects, the new CX-3 will ride on a Mazda platform and is expected to come with gasoline, mild-hybrid, and full-hybrid powertrains. That spread may let the automaker hang onto the six-speed manual for non-hybrid variants.More: Mazda’s CEO Confirms Next MX-5 Goes Electric And Gas, Wants A Halo Sports Car Above ItThe corporate documentation outlines that the next-generation subcompact crossover is tasked with chasing high-volume sales segments, particularly across Asia and Oceania where the original model maintained strong consumer demand throughout its long lifecycle.

Mazda has confirmed that production for the new Mazda CX-3 will take place at the AutoAlliance Thailand (AAT) facility. From there, Thai-assembled units will be exported to Japan, other ASEAN markets, and additional global regions starting in 2027.More: Europe’s 2027 Mazda CX-30 Has A Manual And Better Headlights Than YoursThe CX-3 will retain its role as the entry-level SUV within the Mazda lineup, sitting under the CX-30. Depending on the market, rivals will include the likes of the Toyota Yaris Cross, Honda HR-V, Ford Puma, Peugeot 2008, Jeep Avenger, Renault Captur, Nissan Juke, Hyundai Bayon, VW T-Cross etc. Mazda should start sharing more revealing teasers of the next CX-3 in the coming months.
