Mazda CX-3 News in Malaysia

Under Bermaz Motor, Malaysia is the only Mazda distributor / national sales centre in Southeast Asia to close the Hiroshima-based automaker’s financial year ending March 2024 (FY2024) on a positive note. Although Mazda closed its FY2024 account books with its highest ever operating profit, surging 76 percent to reach 250.5 billion Yen (~RM 7.63 billion), most of the success was attributed to the USA, Europe, and China. Southeast Asia is a headache for Mazda. Casual readers of business news would

First launched in 2015, the Mazda CX-3 is no stranger to Malaysian roads, having been around for nearly a decade. However, despite its age, the CX-3 remains appealing even today for discerning buyers who appreciate its style, driving performance and build quality. Of course, it is one of the more expensive options in the hotly contested and crowded B-Segment SUV category – mostly due to it being fully imported (CBU) - first from Japan, then Thailand since circa mid-2022. With that said WapCar’s

Let’s say you're in the market for a new car, perhaps an additional car for your garage and you're drawn to the Mazda brand. With a budget of just over RM 100k, your options narrow down to either the 2024 Mazda 2 facelift or the 2024 Mazda CX-3 1.5L. Priced closely at RM 108,670 for the Mazda 2 (sedan and hatchback) and RM 115,720 for the Mazda CX-3 1.5L, these models offer similar driving experiences and near-identical interiors, yet there are notable differences that may sway your decision.

One look at the Mazda CX-3 and you might think it was launched a few years ago. In actuality, the CX-3 is probably a lot closer to Jennifer Lopez than Jennifer Lawrence; it has been here for a decade. Mazda’s baby SUV made its global debut in 2014 and since then, the crossover market exploded and has become the golden goose segment for every carmaker. Every mainstream brand has one in their line-up, often ranking as the best-selling model in their respective companies. While the CX-3 is a dinosa

Stylish, compact, and still boasting pizazz, the long-serving Mazda CX-3 is the brand’s entry point into its CX SUVs range. The CX-3 is not the newest model in its class but you will be surprised to know that despite its age and stiff competition from newer and cheaper CKD rivals, the Mazda CX-3 continues to draw customers onto showroom floors. Every month, there are on average more than 100 Malaysians buying a new Mazda CX-3. Now you might think, that 100 units per month isn’t a lot compared to

Launched alongside the new Mazda 2 facelift in Malaysia last week is the updated 2024 Mazda CX-3. Unlike the hatchback/sedan pair, the refreshed CX-3 did not receive any extensive visual updates but gained some quality-of-life enhancements to keep it fresh. Just like the previous update, the 2024 CX-3 remains fully imported (CBU) from Thailand and is offered with 2 powertrains across 3 variants. Below are the prices of the CX-3 variants for Peninsular Malaysia, on-the-road, without insurance: CX

Just like the previous update, Mazda’s entry-level SUV model is fully imported (CBU) from Thailand and is offered in 3 variants: 1.5 Plus – RM 115,720 (+RM 7,800, up from RM 107,920) 2.0 Plus – RM 126,159 (+RM 7,800, up from RM 118,359) 2.0 High – RM 139,159 (+RM 7,800, up from RM 131,559) Massive price bump aside, the biggest change on the updated MY-spec CX-3 is the Core varia

That satisfaction of biting into a crumbly, fresh kaya kok. The clink of a ceramic coffee set in the middle of the mountains, are perhaps the peak experiences one can derive from good ol' Ipoh. Sure, among the pre-war buildings lie plenty of ready-made options and air-conditioned cafes, but there's always something to relish in places and things that are simpler, yet remain ever so charming. Miyabi is what the Japanese will term it, loosely translating to finding the beauty in everything. Not en

There used to be a time (not too long ago), when four-powered windows were a ‘premium’ feature, today if a car doesn’t have a sweeping touchscreen, full-length panoramic sunroof and enough safety features to take you safely to the moon, it’s pretty much a dud that will lay waste on showroom floors. However, adding more tech, packages, trim levels and safety equipment can make a car too expensive, sometimes beyond what the buying market is willing to pay for it. The Mazda CX-3, first launched in
