VIDEO: 2015 Mazda CX-3 plays the percussionist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PyByI6pnno

There’s much to talk about the 2015 Mazda CX-3. From its supposed Malaysian launch in July that has now been pushed back to Q4 of 2015 to reports of its order books of it opening way before its arrival and even the possibility of a diesel engine for the Malaysian market.

So while there are plenty of news regarding the car, not much attention has been paid to the capabilities of the vehicle itself. As a result, Mazda UK has cleverly defied conventional methods to show off the CX-3’s abilities in this short spot. Instead of having it ply through scenic backroads or tidy-looking city centres, the 2015 Mazda CX-3 performs a drum solo. Yes, you read that right.

You’re going to have to watch the feature itself to see how it’s done but we can guarantee that it is as straightforward as it sounds. For now, this is as close as (potential) Malaysian buyers can get to the CX-3 and its many talents until its aforementioned launch.

Additional reports surrounding the local-spec Mazda CX-3 include the availability of a front-wheel drive CBU variant powered by a 2.0 litre SkyActiv-G petrol engine and a six-speed automatic. Extra goodies include six airbags and a head-up display with prices estimated to range between RM120k-130k.

      As i always said, you won’t go wrong with sushi cars.
      But with such space and price tag, people will rather go for Innova.

      Practical or sexy look, you will be happy as long as it is sushi cars.

    Nice effort, but Chevrolet Sonic did it better and earlier, by teaming up with OK Go.

    Too bad the car’s sales in Malaysia wasn’t as epic.

      Hmmm… all I got from that video was that-

      a) Chevy’s rear doors are incredibly hard to close even after take off,
      b) It makes an incredibly noisy racket, and
      c) Its radio doesn’t work leading to music improvisation by passengers.

      No wonder it didn’t sell well.

      LOL!

    HRV – only worth for the size.
    CX-3 worth for anything else.
    anyhow, both are overpriced B-segment.
