Back in May, a Mazda dealer announced on its Facebook page that the Mazda CX-3 was set to be priced in the region of RM120-130k. Now, this has been cemented with the mention of a similar indicative pricing for the B-segment SUV in the local Mazda newsletter, with a “from RM120k” tag being listed.
The Malaysian CX-3 will be equipped with a SkyActiv-G 2.0 litre petrol mill (with output listed as 150 hp and 204 Nm), paired with a SkyActiv-Drive six-speed auto transmission. Aside from this, there’s no mention of anything else in the way of equipment, so it’s anyone’s guess as to what trim level we’ll be getting – Australia’s top-spec Akari variant might provide a hint of kit to expect.
Earlier in the year, Bermaz sources had revealed to us that only one “very-highly-specced” front-wheel drive variant would be offered, with six airbags and a head-up display. Then, a while back, there was talk that the 1.5 SkyActiv-D diesel was a strong possibility, and the specifications that appeared on Facebook simply fueled things further. It remains to be seen if Bermaz will introduce a diesel-engined CX-3 in Malaysia.
It was initially reported that the SUV could begin deliveries in August, but the latest indication (from last month) was that market introduction is set for sometime in the fourth quarter this year, where it will join the local Mazda line-up together with the highly-anticipated fourth-gen MX-5 roadster.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
So sad to hear the price…
Get a axia then.
Get EX5 better, travel on feet better
That’s why people prefer our Rush more. Worthy on the car price and space.
An Axia
It time nissan bring in Juke officially. Personally I like Juke better. May not as pratical as HRV or fun to drive like CX3, but IMHO looks better than Honda and Mazda. At RM120k, Subaru VX looks like a bargain. Better to drive with real-time 4wd. Smallest C segment SUV but i think is still bigger HRV n CX3
Spot on bob… clap… clap clap… and no I am not a Subaru fan… just that your comment make sense… along with the cheaper ASX too…
Bro, it’s a 2.0 engine & CBU dude.
why you not <100K? its just a B segment SUV
Gov pls stop raping us…..
The gov imposed the tax. But mind you that the expensive price also contribute by these gready car dealer..
I love this car,but the rear seat leg room is cramp,my Axia leg room more bigger than cx3…Hrv still the better choice
U can’t imagine that my Mazda rx7 (fd3s )rear leg room is better than Mazda 2,i still managed travel from kl to ipoh 4 adult in car without complaint…
All midgets of course lol
It depends on driver’s preference. Hrv is more practical but if u want a car that drives well and zoom-zoom fun get the cx-3 bro. We shall wait and see once launched in bolehland then of course boleh try test drive.
what is the point of getting a suv like car?
1 space
2 versatility & utility
3 higher driving position
4 ride & handling
if you are more concern with ride & handling won’t the mazda 3 makes more sense? it drives and handle better than the cx3 anytime…
Agree with you …Axia leg room is MORE BIGGER .
120K for a B segment SUV is slightly over priced. I was excepting <100k.
I know you frustrated at the price, many do actually but that’s life my friend..want gaya but cannot really afford it then nothing much that you (or I can do about it) Just telan air liur saja lah bila tengok this car on the roads later.
That Honda HRV pon mahal jugak..over 100K but does Honda hear your and other peoples’ complains? Takde kannn…What to do, start la menabung dari sekarang…Tak payah la nak blame Govt sangat…Aku pon terliur jugak tengok kete nih tapi duit tak cukup..diam aja lah dulu..
Boleh bro …kekadang kereta nie tak payah berlumba2 beli brand new . Kalau dah minat tunggu lepas tahun beli 2nd hand . Most first owners memang jaga kereta elok2 dlm tahun pertama .
Ya bro, aku setuju sangat dengan pandangan kau tu…harapnya lepas setahun dua, adalah kete yang lagi cun dari cx3 ni klua so that owners cx3 ni berpindah pulak ke kete baru…
Then boleh la kot aku tunaikan hajat aku nih…
Let’s not forget this is a CBU unit, only when CX-3 CKD is out then we could compare it to HRV CKD in terms of pricing, leg room and specification is personal preference. One things for sure its a looker, practicality wise might be better looking at CX5 CKD. One might say ‘can’t afford then get axia!’ Well freedome of speech fags
True dat! Whoever likes style and looks deff gonna buy this. If that striking blue color coming in, I’m in. Blue is so in now. Also please maintain that 18″ wheels. They’re awesome!
But the tires 18″ are expensive, plus gst ..
good tyre for 18″ cost around 400-500 each, continental,toyo,yokohama,bridgestone,michelin
Most good 18″ tyres cost 700 per wheel upwards. Where do you get one for 400-500? Unless you buy Dunlopillo tyres.
mazda2 interior, mazda3 pricing
If a high specced CBU CX3 is expensive, then I wonder how much is Honda pocketing for its HRV. You guys are seriously barking up the wrong tree.
As long as its not a kimchi, it will have RV
Price this one very well, else it will have tough competition with hrv.
No money buy mah diam diam Lo….go enjoy your myvi extreme
I wish to have the Price of a HR-V the Exterior of CX-3, the sweet interior of HR-V and the nice Engine of CX-3…
You Think This Is A Game?.jpg
I think CBU CX3 Akari spec with the suggested price is reasonable….maintain the 18 inch rims..but if equipped with only 16 inch rims it will not look good….Selamat Hari Raya!..
Akari spec means the full i-ActivSense suite?
If yes, I’m very very interested to buy. But so far, there is no mention of ActivSense so am holding back the booking
Huh? bye bye CX-3, hello HR-V.
if no money, buy the Budget brand – Honda.
Honda HRV is cheap.
So expensive la…..
nevermind, extend installments until 10 years….just like proton
the price difference is kinda justified compared to the HRV , being cbu and bigger engine and looks a way more sporty , probably doesnt have the interior packaging as the HRV bt looks very sporty…
If you wanna be like the rest of the aunty uncle college kid junior exec wannabe crowd, buy an HRV. Wanna stand out? Buy the CX3.
CBU Thailand. Too expensive n low specs. CBU Japan, not too bad provided with full specs as Akari
it’s exactly a Mazda2 face, Mazda2 interior.
First batch of buyers will be guinea pigs for berjaya’s Ckd feasibility study. If u look at the trend, mazda3, cx5..etc, you pretty much can guess what they are gonna do. Recruiting Ckd victims now, anyone?
C’mon Mazda I can’t wait so long for the CX-3 I mean shit man I booked the hrv and and I wanna cancel it cause of the cx3 but I’m in the balance whether to cancel it cause the waiting period is so long and I’m due to get it next month. Hurry the up la. Mazda your totally losing a shitload of customers cause of this delay. All the prospective cx3 buyers no choice but have to go for the useless hrv. Then when you launch cx3 it becomes a flop because all your buyers gone to Honda to late. mazda should be reading comments if they wanna do well, cause then they’ll know what the ‘people’ want.
If it comes with the Aussie “Akari” specs and Bose sound system, then the RM120k makes sense. But if it has only the normal 6 speakers system (no Bose) and no cruise control (like the CBU Mazda3 when first launched here), then RM120 is rather overpriced. Though HRV buyers who are unwilling to wait up to 6 months for their HRV, might just cancel and jump ship to the CX3, though they are both quite different cars with different pros and cons.
