The 2019 Mazda CX-3 crossover in a new body flaunts an innovative radiator grille and upgraded lights with a different LED pattern.
In the interior of the crossover, instead of the classic parking brake handle, an electric handbrake button is installed. This decision made it possible to greatly change the design of the central tunnel, moving the cup holders forward, and equip the car with an armrest between the front seats. The front seats have become wider, and the same polyurethane is used in the filling, as in the seats of the Mazda CX-8 large crossover. There is also a colored edging for the ventilation deflectors (Soul Red Crystal) and invisible, thicker door panels and rear windows with increased thickness, providing better sound insulation of the cabin.
In addition to the above details, the updated Japanese compact crossover Mazda CX-3 will delight potential owners with improved cruise control with the Stop & Go function (combined with the front camera and operates at speeds from 0 mph), an upgraded automatic braking system that sees pedestrians better and an auto-dimming interior mirror .
