2025 Mazda CX-3
In 2025, the CX-3 gave shoppers wanting a sensible, easy-to-understand vehicle for commuting, family use or weekend errands a familiar option in its segment with a clear ownership pitch. CarExpert source notes add that the Mazda CX-3 is a small SUV aimed at city buyers who want a higher driving position and compact dimensions. The strongest reasons to consider it were Mazda cabin polish, compact dimensions and easy everyday driving. The relevant VFACTS line shows 15,429 Australian sales for the calendar year. That put it in the same conversation as Mitsubishi ASX, Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos and Toyota Yaris Cross.
