Mazda’s small CX-3 SUV remains our most popular light SUV, the long-standing model continues to grow year on year. Mazda have just refreshed the range for 2025, dropping the entry Sport model, the reshuffle seeing the most affordable CX-3 rise by $3,420. The CX-3 Pure grade now opening the 2025 range at $30,370 plus on-road costs, a rise of $920.
