Mazda today confirmed the CX-3 range will be headlined by a new variant name, dubbed Akari. The line-up will also feature an sTouring grade, and likely others, with the Japanese car maker promising a “class-leading mix of model grades”.
Mazda has also announced official combined cycle fuel consumption ratings for the most frugal petrol and diesel variants.
The front-wheel-drive petrol automatic uses 6.1 litres per 100 kilometres, while the front-drive diesel auto is rated at 4.8L/100km.
To be offered in a host of configurations, the local CX-3 range will include a 109kW/192Nm 2.0-litre petrol engine, a 77kW/270Nm 1.5-litre diesel engine, six-speed manual and automatic transmissions, and front- and all-wheel drive.
Mazda is still to confirm the precise structure of the line-up, such as which engines, transmissions and drive systems will be paired together. More details will be revealed around the time of the CX-3’s launch late next month.
