What engines come with the Mazda CX-3?
Essentially the same as the 2 but with a couple of exceptions depending on the market:
In the United States, the CX-3 will be powered exclusively by a 2.0-litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine. The company was coy on specifications but it will be connected paired to a SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission.
Europeans, on the other hand, will receive two 2.0-litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engines and the new 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-D diesel engine. They can be connected to either a SKYACTIV-MT manual transmission or the aforementioned SKYACTIV-Drive automatic gearbox.
Front-wheel drive will be standard on both European and North American models but all-wheel drive will be optional.

Mazda has not released specific details on the engines, beyond confirming that the CX-3 will be offered with a 2.0-litre petrol, in two states of tune, and a 1.5-litre diesel. The petrols are likely to be the same high-compression units fitted to the 3, which should mean a choice of 118bhp or 163bhp. The 1.5 diesel should be the same low-compression motor fitted to the 2, with 104bhp.
