That’s in line with its competitors’ base prices; the Honda HR-V starts at $19,995, the Fiat 500X at $20,900, the Chevrolet Trax at $20,995 and the Jeep Renegade at $18,990.

The five-passenger CX-3 is Mazda’s smallest SUV, slotting below the CX-5 and wearing styling similar to the Mazda3 compact sedan and hatchback. Power comes from a 146-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Fuel economy is impressive for the class. Front-wheel-drive versions of the 2016 Mazda CX-3 have an EPA-estimated rating of 29/35/31 mpg city/highway/combined. That bests the Trax (26/34/29), Renegade (24/31/27), 500X (25/34/28) and HR-V (28/35/31).
Standard features include the Mazda Connect 7-inch color touch-screen multimedia system, Bluetooth phone pairing and audio streaming, a backup camera and push-button start. The 2016 Mazda CX-3 will go on sale in August.
