Leading automotive company Mazda makes no secret of its intention to strengthen its position in the crossover market. The current year will be marked by the entry into the market of the Mazda CX-3 2018 off-road vehicle, which will retain the status of a city car.
Already at this hour, the range includes several models with different power characteristics and levels of road comfort. It is expected that the new model in terms of external design and cabin interior features will be able to effectively compete with similar developments of other popular brands.
The planned restyling of the updated version was initially focused on combining the stylish appearance of the new version with elements of a sporty style, with the highest possible performance and economy. The assets of the corporate design bureau have significant success in improving transmissions and the use of lightweight materials.
The new Mazda CX-3 2018 crossover is based on the latest Mazda 2 hatchback model, but in appearance and dimensions it bears a strong resemblance to the original CX-5 prototype. The body design shows the influence of the KODO style, which is present in all branded developments of the release in recent years.
A review of the photo confirms the presence of a traditionally trapezoidal shape of a chrome-plated radiator false panel, an aerodynamic configuration of front optics blocks, a large format made integral with the massive bumper of the lower air intake.
- A characteristic feature of the modernized crossover of the CX-3 series of the current year model is the most simplified design of the sides. Attention is drawn to the large angle of inclination of the windshield, non-standard transitions in the height of the window sill line, the relief edging of the wheel arches and the configuration of the side windows narrowed towards the rear.
- At a superficial glance, the similarity of the design of the stern of the post-styled crossover with the branded model CX-5 is striking. Taillights, spoiler and other elements are copied without significant changes.
The Troika can be distinguished only by the lower part of the modified bumper with built-in brake lights and exhaust pipes spaced apart on the sides.
Interior
When developing interior design, priority is given to sporty style, which should be appreciated by the youth driver category.
- The front panel is unloaded to the maximum: in addition to the instrument panel with arrow indicators, there was a place for a small multimedia display and an on-board air conditioner control panel.
- The equipment of the central tunnel is more saturated, on which the armrest, gearshift and parking brake levers, control elements of standard systems and units are conveniently arranged. The buttons and keys located on the steering wheel are designed for quick adjustment of the on-board electronics.
- A high level of travel comfort is provided by sporty-style front row seats, equipped with a wide range of operational settings. The rear row is made in the form of a three-section sofa, which guarantees comfortable accommodation for three adult passengers.
Removing the rear seats gives the driver the opportunity to increase the volume of the luggage compartment from 350 to 1260 liters. It is expected that the saloon interior will be presented in several colors.

- The modern speed characteristics of the updated version of the CX-3 of the 2018 model are effectively implemented due to the power of a 2-liter 160-horsepower petrol engine with a torque of 206 Nm. Confirmation is the dynamics of acceleration to the control "weave" at the level of 8.1 seconds.

History of the Mazda brand / Mazda
In 1920, Zujiro Matsuda buys the bankrupt cork wood company Abemaki and organizes Toyo Cork Kogyo, which is the founder of Mazda Corporation. In 1927, the company changed its name to Toyo Kogyo Ltd and started manufacturing motorcycles and industrial machines. In 1930, one of the company's motorcycle models won racing competitions, which fueled public interest in the manufactured equipment. A year later, the company was renamed Mazda, the same name as the Zoroastrian god of wisdom. In 1931, small three-wheeled trucks roll off the assembly line, which were more like tricycles. In 1960, the first passenger car R360 Coupe with a two-cylinder engine is developed, which does not have special comfort, but is affordable. Three years later, more comfortable Mazda Familia 800/1000 cars with a 4-cylinder engine appear.
In 1963, the millionth Mazda rolled off the assembly line. In 1966, the world public got acquainted with the Mazda Cosmo Sports 110 S, which had a rotary piston engine designed by Felix Wankel. Starting with this car, the company began to gradually conquer the European market. In 1970, the Mazda Capella RX-2 model appears and the export of Mazda cars to the United States begins. In 1972, the 5 millionth car rolled off the assembly line and the comfortable Mazda Luce RX-4 was born. In 1978, the sports model Mazda Savanna RX-7 was produced, the rotary piston engine of which accelerated the car to 200 km / h.
In 1979, Mazda merged with Ford Motor Company, the latter acquiring a 25% stake in Mazda. The Mazda Bongo family of commercial vehicles was the first joint model between the two companies. In 1981, the Mazda Cosmo/Luce is born. The following year, the Mazda Capella 4WD was named Japanese Car of the Year. In 1991, for the first time in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, a car with a rotary piston engine wins. It was a Mazda 787B racing car. In 2002, the company introduced the first generation Mazda 6.

Japanese cars have always attracted attention with their design and high technology. At the end of the last century, a fashion came for off-road vehicles, but at the same time maintaining the comfort and appearance of familiar sedans.

Reviews about the crossover CX-3
Feedback from our drivers is mostly positive. The lack of sound insulation is the trouble of all cars of the famous Japanese concern. The Mazda CX-3 is a crossover originally designed for the city and, judging by the impressions, for a family with children. The space behind the front seats can only be comfortable for children. Adult passengers cannot comfortably place their feet and bang their heads against the ceiling.

In the fall of 2011, fans of Japanese cars saw the Mazda CX-5 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The restyled model "Mazda CX-5" was presented three years later in Los Angeles. The SUV made a special impression in the spring of 2015.
The exterior of the car is slightly different. The LED main optics, the radiator grille, the design of the rims have changed, and turn signal repeaters were installed on the side mirrors.

Experts poetically describe the exterior of the Mazda crossover. The SUV looks aggressive and dynamic. The design philosophy "KODO - the soul of movement" has found expression in this crossover by repeating the outlines of a cheetah, crouched on its front legs, ready to jump.
Reviews about the crossover CX-5
Reviews do not suffer from such poetry. With a lot of positive qualities of an SUV that are important for Russian roads and climatic conditions (CX-5 holds a snowy road well, a clearance of more than 200 mm, a clear steering wheel, a balanced suspension), some but are also called. Rigid suspension, insufficient sound insulation, long warm-up of the interior in winter, the wipers' rest area is not heated, a small luggage compartment, fuzzy instrument brightness control, headlights do not turn off automatically, insufficient visibility from the rear-view mirrors - this is all maybe trifles. But Mazda is a crossover, the price of which is quite high compared to, for example, Korean counterparts, so drivers want to see the CX-5 close to ideal.
Crossover "Mazda CX-7"
Mazda CX-7 has sleek lines, athletic design and sporty elements. The car began its life journey in early 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. He had no analogues. The mid-size crossover combined the design features of a sports car, excellent performance, practicality and a high level of comfort. And this is despite the many nodes borrowed from other models: all-wheel drive - Mazda 6, front and rear suspension - MPV and Mazda 3. The crossover underwent restyling in 2009 and was discontinued in 2012.
The SUV is equipped with 2.3-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 238 liters. With. and 6-speed automatic transmission. High power has a downside - the car is very voracious. For 100 km, he could burn 20 liters of gasoline on city roads. And given that the fuel tank holds only 69 liters of fuel, it was risky to travel long distances from gas stations.
And the maximum speed declared by the manufacturer is low for cars of this class - only 180 km / h. True, the acceleration dynamics are excellent - the CX-7 reaches 100 km / h in just 8.3 seconds.
The dimensions of the crossover are 4.7 × 1.87 × 1.645 m, the clearance is quite high - 205 mm.
