Mazda CX-3 SUV Goes Official With LA Auto Show Teaser

Mazda’s worst-kept secret, the compact new CX-3 SUV, will make its world premiere at next month’s LA Auto Show the carmaker has confirmed today.

This news follows comments from Mazda Australia boss Martin Benders, who said in August that a compact SUV “is not far away”.

Rather than debut as a concept preview first, like the CX-5, Mazda6 and Mazda2, the CX-3 will follow the Mazda3 in heading straight to its final form.

Details of the new compact SUV are still to come, although it is believed the CX-3 will share its platform and engines with the new Mazda2.
