Expect the CX-3 engine range to mirror the Mazda2 it’s based on with a 1.5 SKYACTIV-G petrol engine producing up to 113bhp, and a 104bhp 1.5 SKYACTIV-D diesel engine.

North American-specification models will only be fitted with the SKYACTIV-G 2.0-litre gasoline engine.

The Mazda 2 engine line-up consists of two petrol options. A 1.3-litre unit with 74 or 83bhp and a 101bhp 1.5-litre, and a 94bhp 1.6-litre diesel, all of which are Euro 5 compliant. Overall, we’d opt for the 83bhp manual 1.3 model as our pick of the range, although if you spend a lot of time on the motorway, the 101bhp 1.5-litre unit is the better bet.

In the benchmark 0-62mph sprint, the 74bhp engine takes 14.9sec and its 83bhp sister takes 13.6sec, while the 1.5-litre engine cuts that back to a much nippier 10.7sec. The torquey 1.6-litre diesel takes 11.5sec.

Better come with the 2.0 Skyactive.

I've held off purchasing a 6 in the hope that they will offer an improved dashboard design and more interior trim options.

If a Juke, Countryman, Mokka, Ecosport or HR-V aren't your thing, perhaps the CX-3 will be.
