LODI, N.J., July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- While 2016 models like the Mazda6 and CX-5 have already arrived with fresh new features and details, one of Mazda's most highly anticipated 2016 models is on the horizon. It is the 2016 Mazda CX-3 subcompact crossover utility vehicle, and one Lodi, New Jersey dealership is preparing to welcome it into its fleet of new Mazda models.

Mazda of Lodi, located at 130 Route 46 E. in Lodi, New Jersey, has highlighted the model numerous times on its website blog. Though no exact dealership arrival date is yet available, the CX-3 is expected to roll out sometime around mid-August with a starting MSRP of just $19,960 for the entry level Sport trim.  

The CX-3 comes with front-wheel drive, but for a simple upgrade of $1,250, buyers can equip the CX-3 with Mazda's predictive i-ACTIV all-wheel drive system. The i-ACTIV all-wheel drive can monitor factors such as weather, road conditions and the steering angle to help direct the right amount of power to the right wheels in order to maximize control and performance. 

Fuel economy on the CX-3 is more than sufficient. With the all-wheel drive system, the CX-3 manages an EPA-estimated 27 city mpg and 32 highway mpg. Though those figures are great for any all-wheel drive subcompact crossover, the CX-3 in front-wheel drive manages an impressive 29 city mpg and 35 highway mpg. Much of this fuel efficiency can be attributed to the CX-3's SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter engine that produces up to 146 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque. 

Drivers will soon be able to experience the CX-3's all-wheel drive capabilities, creative styling, backup camera and 7-inch color touch-screen infotainment system in Lodi, New Jersey. Until its arrival at Mazda of Lodi, consumers can visit the dealership website to learn more at www.MazdaofLodi.com. The dealership staff can also be contacted for questions about the new model by calling 973-594-1700.
