Mazda Ireland has just released prices for the recently debuted CX-3. Mazda's first small SUV will hit the Irish market from June and will have entry level pricing from €20,695.

Two powertrains will be available with the CX-3; the SKYACTIV-D 1.5 litre diesel (emissions of 105g/km) and the 2.0 litre petrol engine offering 120hp. The diesel engine will be offered in five different variants including the 105hp SKYACTIV-D GT AWD.

KODO design has been utilised once again by Mazda and the signature “wing” front grille is ever present. We’re told that the CX-3 also offers a high ride height. SKYACTIV technology is featured through the engine, body, chassis and transmissions (SKYACTIV-MT manual and SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmissions).

Tony Howarth, Managing Director, Mazda Motor Ireland, “this year will be the most active for new vehicle launches in Mazda’s 83 year history and the Mazda CX-3 is one of the most eagerly awaited. Launching into one of the fastest growing segments in Ireland I am pleased to see us coming to market ahead of many of our competitors. The Mazda CX-3 will bring new customers into the brand with its combination of stylish looks, high tech infotainment and the eagerly awaited all-new 1.5 SKYACTIV diesel engine that delivers Mazda’s trademark fun to drive personality with hybrid vehicle economy levels.”
