Looking at that it just means it will be back but without any upgrades which it really needs.
The end of the CX3?

There have already been considerable upgrades on the 2019 model over your earlier 2017 model. It is now a much more refined car.

Mazda are desperate to find any way of improving their carbon footprint prior to the introduction of their electric vehicles, so my guess is that it will include the X engine option. Unfortunately the additional cost of the X engine has so far shown that you need to do a very high mileage to recoup the cost. Lets hope that Mazda can improve that in the future.

That's funny, I was reading on the internet about a month or two ago, and it was said that because of the currency rate in Thailand that Mazda was closing the Thailand factory down and moving production to a new factory being built in Japan capable of making the CX3 cheaper, and there would be a gap in production of the CX3 for a while.
As for Mazda dealers saying no more are being made, they would say that as they have the new CX30's to sell at higher prices and targets to hit.

CX3 sel-nav. 2.0 ltr. Petrol, manual. Soul red.
I don’t see the correlation here between replacing a small SUV, the CX3 with a larger C30 when Mazda already have the CX5 in production/sale.
I tried the C30, and personally I didn’t like it at all.
When I come to dispose of this CX3, it won’t be replaced by another Mazda of that I am sure

Check out the UK price comparisons from Nov last year and I think it will explain Mazda's primary reason for the decision - more profit!

The amount of TV advertising for the CX-30 even prior to the current crisis must have cost a small fortune. I can never remember any TV advertising for the CX-3, nor car magazine ads either, so it sold pretty well all things considered.

I will never replace my CX3 with the CX30 and i will need to look elsewhere.RoyVernon wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 10:59 am I don’t see the correlation here between replacing a small SUV, the CX3 with a larger C30 when Mazda already have the CX5 in production/sale.

Before the Covid-19 we went round a number of Mazda dealers looking to buy the wife a Mazda 2.
Most sales people said the same thing...the CX3 was a great seller and the CX30 is a harder sell...Mazda you have got it wrong.
