News!
Been to the car dealership in Sweden and ordered the new Mazda cx3 mid-2018.
No website has come out with the new changes to the Mazda cx3 and I don't know why.
1. Electronic handbrake
2. Standard or new center armrest.
3. Full leather seats.
4. Some color or design changes in the cabin (no specific info out)
5. Better sound isolation
6. Rumor (Led lights near cupholders)
7. Rumor (Android auto / Apple car support)
They will start to produce the new changes in the models from Mars 2018.
If you got any information or news about the new changes please add them here.
New changes for mid-2018 model
My initial reactions to the new changes are :
1. Whilst I deplore the loss of the conventional handbrake, an electronic one would permit the fitment of......
2. A properly designed centre armrest. The current accessory armrest is a badly designed afterthought.
3. I have full leather seats in my Rover P5B Coupe. I do not need them in my everyday car.
4. Design changes in the cabin will I hope include re-positioning the control knobs which will otherwise be obscured by the centre armrest.
5. Of all the changes, better sound insulation is the most needed. Ever since joining this forum I have complained about the excessive noise and vibration which enters the cabin on coarse road surfaces. It appears that Mazda have now acknowledged the problem and are doing something about it.
I have already decided that the CX-3 will be my first and last Mazda. It will take more than LED lights near the cup holders to persuade me otherwise.

I think the Geneva motor show is the place for announcements - March? Don’t forget the rumour that it is to be built on the 3 chassis not the 2.

Mazda updated the cx3 in 2017, improved soundproofing, steering, and a few other minor features, really odd they are doing it again in 2018.
I have just researched on line and it is confusing, on a foreign web site they talk about the 2018 CX3, the upgrades they talk about are the same as introduced in the 2017 upgrade on the UK models. Confused.

Not allot of change then where it really matters like cabin space and leg room, especially the back seat area. And if any of these changes ever reach the UK market remains to be seen.

I see from the pictures that the control knobs on the centre console have indeed been moved to a more convenient location.
The fascia fresh air vents also appear to have been re-positioned a little higher, so perhaps fresh air will now be available at face level where it is most needed. Is it possible that someone at Mazda has actually been listening to owner's views?

I see lighted window controls allround, which is nice compared to now and I'll like the addition of dual-zone climatecontrol.
But it's still 18 months away according to the website.
