Three Reasons to Buy a Pre-Owned Mazda CX-3

A pre-owned Mazda CX-3 is a sub-compact crossover that makes a great buy due to its affordability, its safety and its fun-to-drive nature.

Affordable to buy and to own

A pre-owned example of the Mazda CX-3 is a good choice for buyers who want to have more for their money since it is affordable to buy and affordable to own. This is because the CX-3 has been one of the most affordable Mazda vehicles to buy brand new since it was introduced in 2016. In addition, the CX-3 is very reliable and it is powered by a fuel-efficient 2.0L engine that maximizes every drop of fuel, resulting in a consumption figure as low as 6,7 L/100 km on the highway in some models.

Among the safest in its class

A pre-owned Mazda CX-3 is one of the safest sub-compact crossovers on the market since this model has received the Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick + award from the IIHS every year from 2016 to 2021. This means that whichever pre-owned CX-3 you end up choosing, you know you will be safe at all times when out on the road. This level of safety is due to the advanced i-Activsense suite of active safety features, such as the forward collision warning with emergency braking, the blind spot monitor, the lane-departure warning, and the rear cross-traffic alert. These technologies have all been available on the CX-3 since its introduction and they have been made standard in more recent model years.

More fun to drive than its competitors

The Mazda CX-3 is also a great pre-owned buy because of its fun-to-drive nature that makes every trip enjoyable. This is possible due to the CX-3’s low weight, its available i-Activ all-wheel-drive system, and its standard Skyactiv engine. Every CX-3 sold in Canada is powered by the same 2.0L four-cylinder engine that delivers either 146 or 148 horsepower, depending on the year, and 146 lb-ft of torque. This power can be routed to all wheels or just the front wheels via a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission.
