A Mazda dealer has announced on its Facebook page that the Mazda CX-3 is open for booking, and in response to a user comment, has revealed an estimated RM120k-130k price range.
We rang the dealer, who told us the cars are arriving in July, ahead of deliveries expected in August. This tallies with what Bermaz sources revealed to us in February.
At the time, we were told only one “very-highly-specced” front-wheel drive variant would be offered, with six airbags and a head-up display.
Fully-imported (CBU) from Japan, our car should have a 2.0 litre SkyActiv-G petrol engine and a six-speed auto. Do you think our Honda HR-V will have cause for worry?

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments reflect a range of opinions on the Mazda CX-3, with many focusing on its pricing, space, and features. Some critics feel the price is too high for a small B-segment SUV, especially compared to cheaper alternatives like the Honda HR-V or even older models. Others praise its design, handling, and safety features, considering it a good driving car but questioning its practicality due to cramped rear space. There’s concern over the value proposition, especially regarding the fully imported (CBU) price, and comparisons to other Mazda models and competitors. Some commenters express skepticism about Mazda’s branding and pricing strategy in Malaysia, while a few enthusiastic users see it as a sporty, stylish choice that could rival the HR-V, especially when locally assembled (CKD).
