Four model range are now automatic only, but still equipped with the normally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine.
Collectively its oldest model along with the 2, Mazda has given the entry-level CX-3 a handful of updates not applicable to any other derivatives.
New additions
Marking its 12th year of production this year, the changes centre around the Active grade fitted the six-speed automatic gearbox.
