2019 Mazda CX-3 Maxx Sport diesel review

Here we have Australia’s second-favourite compact SUV. In its most popular trim grade – Maxx Sport. And in its most popular drive format – front-wheel drive. The odd element out is the engine. Our 2019 Mazda CX-3 Maxx Sport is powered by a turbo-diesel engine that Mazda Australia expects to account for just one per cent of overall model sales (down from the three per cent quoted when the baby Mazda SUV debuted in 2015). Manufacturers have dropped many a variant with bigger figures.
