2018 Mazda CX-3 sTouring

This 2018 Mazda CX-3 sTouring is a compact SUV/Wagon with a practical five-door, five-seat layout and front-wheel-drive traction. Its relatively compact footprint suits everyday urban use, while the raised SUV-style body provides a useful balance between easy manoeuvrability and a flexible cabin. With 197,010 km displayed on the odometer, the vehicle’s mileage is an important consideration for any prospective owner and should form part of a careful inspection and history check.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre petrol engine with direct fuel injection, aspirated induction and a six-speed sports automatic transmission. The automatic gearbox is designed for straightforward daily driving, while the front-wheel-drive layout keeps the mechanical configuration familiar and efficient in its packaging. A stop-start system is also listed as part of the engine equipment. The CX-3’s five-seat arrangement and split-fold second row add useful versatility, allowing the interior to accommodate passengers or make room for larger items when required.

The sTouring grade brings a considered set of convenience and technology features. A colour multifunction control screen works alongside satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, digital DAB+ radio and a six-speaker stereo. USB and auxiliary inputs provide additional options for connecting portable audio devices, while a multifunction steering wheel and head-up information display help keep commonly used information and controls within easy reach. Climate-control air conditioning contributes to cabin comfort across changing conditions.

Practical details include front and rear power windows, heated and folding power door mirrors, keyless entry, proximity-based central locking and push-button starting. The interior is listed with partial leather-look seat trim, a leather steering wheel, leather gear knob and leather hand-brake lever. The driver’s seat is height adjustable, and the rear seatback splits and folds to make the cargo area more adaptable. An 18-inch alloy wheel package gives the CX-3 a distinctive stance, while the temporary space-saver spare wheel is included for emergency use.

Safety equipment is a notable part of the specification. The vehicle is listed with driver, passenger, front-side and head-protection airbags, along with ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, electronic stability control and traction control. A rear-view camera and rear parking sensors assist with low-speed manoeuvring. Blind-spot sensing and rear cross-traffic warning provide additional awareness when changing lanes or reversing, while forward collision warning, low-speed forward collision mitigation, reversing collision mitigation and pedestrian avoidance with braking are also specified. Driver attention detection and road-sign recognition add further monitoring support.

Exterior lighting includes LED headlamps, LED daytime running lamps, LED tail lamps and front LED fog lamps, with automatic light-sensitive headlamp operation and rain-sensing wipers listed among the equipment. Together with cruise control, GPS navigation, automatic wipers and a six-speed automatic transmission, the specification is oriented towards making regular travel more convenient without moving away from the straightforward layout of a small petrol SUV.
