Mazda has officially discontinued the CX-3 in Japan, with production of the compact crossover set to conclude at the end of this month. The CX-3 was first revealed way back in 2014 and is one of the oldest models in the company’s line-up.
While the company is still accepting orders for the two variants of the CX-3 offered in Japan, this will end once the maximum number of orders is reached, according to a statement on Mazda Japan’s website. Pricing for the model there is between 2,704,900 and 3,315,400 yen (around RM68k and RM84k).
The CX-3 continues to live on in Malaysia because it comes fully imported (CBU) from Thailand since 2022 – it was previously brought in from Japan. At present, our CX-3 comes in three variants, namely the 2.0G 2WD Plus priced at RM126,159 and 2.0G 2WD High at RM139,159 – both figures are on-the-road without insurance.
There’s also the 1.5G 2WD Plus, which is listed in the spec sheet but not seen in the price list effective November 1, 2023. A prior price list from when the CX-3 got updated in December 2023 showed the 1.5G 2WD Plus at RM115,720. In addition to Thailand (our BT-50 also comes from there), the CX-3 will continue to be produced in Mexico.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
small size yet expensive, only irrational buyers like peppa could buy it
Happily own and drive own ¯\(ツ)/¯
I must say its a great car to drive in 2.0 guise. Does not feel small.
agree with the great to drive part, but it IS a super tiny car, mazda cars are always small on the inside
How’s the “premium Merz-BMW tier” Mazda doing in Malaysia? Bermaz must think we’re dummy.
To Bermaz, ofc we are dummy… look at the infotainment in the on-selling CX-5, have a laugh at it
I was interested in this model but when it was first sold here the specs were inferior. Now when the specs are good the design is already out of date. What a pity not to have this size as it is perfect for single people like me.
