Smaller than its CX-5 and CX-9 siblings, the CX-3 offers essential qualities and features for those with diverse driving needs. Equipped with the Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter engine producing up to 146 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque, the CX-3 can be great for both city and highway driving. Fuel economy impresses with EPA-estimated figures of up to 29 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. 

Even in all-wheel-drive configuration, the CX-3's efficiency budges little. Equipped with Mazda's i-Activ all-wheel-drive system, factors such as temperature, steering angle and weather can be taken into consideration in order to route engine power to the right wheels for maximum stability in rougher conditions. The system is available on all CX-3 models as a separate upgrade option. 

Drivers in the Manchester, Connecticut area can also expect some thrilling interior features from the 2016 Mazda CX-3. Included in all models is the Mazda Connect infotainment system on a 7-inch color touch screen and a backup camera. Consumers can also take advantage of drive-enhancing systems on the CX-3, such as Lane Departure Warning and Mazda Radar Cruise Control, through the i-Activsense safety package available with Grand Touring models. 

Consumers in the Manchester, Connecticut area are encouraged to visit the Mazda of Manchester website, at www.MazdaofManchester.com, to learn more about the 2016 Mazda CX-3 or stop by the dealership to see the model in person. The dealership staff can also be contacted by calling 860-432-7263.
