The Mazda CX-3 will be launched locally in early December 2015, with the first deliveries starting in the middle of the same month. This was confirmed by Bermaz Motor, the local Mazda importer and distributor.
The Mazda CX-3, the brand’s most compact crossover and smaller sibling of the popular CX-5, will be priced from RM130k to RM135k. This figure is slightly higher than the RM120k previously estimated, probably because of the negative forex situation the Malaysian ringgit is facing. The CX-3 will be coming in as a CBU import from Japan, as Thai production is yet to start.
We are told that this will buy you a CX-3 powered by a SkyActiv-G 2.0 litre petrol engine (150 hp/204 Nm), paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. Power goes to the front wheels – no AWD. Spec wise, expect a well-equipped car with everything thrown in, except for Mazda’s i-Activsense suite of active safety tech.
The CX-3 will aim to draw customers away from the Honda HR-V, which has made big waves in the Malaysian car market, racking up a substantial waiting list in the process. Launched here in February, the locally-assembled B-segment SUV is priced from RM98,690 to RM118,229. A RM130k price tag will also be higher than that of the Mitsubishi ASX and Kia Sportage. Thoughts?
Kia sportage is much bigger and better spec if cx 3 priced at rm130k++
OMG..130K is CBU unit lah (imported from Japan). if CKD, it will be around 110K. Just it happened to CX 5 before. Dont compare this CBU with HRV…
what happen after CX5 CKD?
What missing after CKD?
After CKD, Bermaz get more profit.
It doesnt benefit the buyers.
OMG…any foreign car manufacturers are making more profit here. U want cheaper price, wait CKD loh…simple …
Bodoh statement. CKD or CBU, Malaysians are cheated with car prices. We overpay to the car companies because ALL car companies are GLC and owned by the Government.
AP system taxes compare to AP system what’s the different? Still all under AP system (cronies company) and taxes !
what good pricing. So cheap. It is true, our Government keeps its promise to reduce car prices. I am so happy with car prices in Malaysia. They are so cheap. I don’t know why silly people complain about car prices!
Yea so cheap… You buy 1st hand then immediate sell it to me at 2nd hand value. Remember sell it cheap RM80k to me too since you mean “so cheap” !!!
u really didnt get his sarcasm right..? boring life indeed..
saracasm sensor rosak
so happy to see this car this morning!. Last night Malam Jumaat, so, double whammy for me!
baru bangun tidur bang?
Luckily I didn’t wait….no down but up 10k summore. Everyone knows who to thank.
Time to wake up. The ringgit is weak so work harder so that you can own a true jap car just like me.
Beng,U work hard can only own jap car?
Over boast! The rest of others also work hard
but own a better car than u!
Really? I bet you are just driving a jap wannabe car called myvi
A myvi is a jap car. Not a wannabe.
Mazda so so stupid. I just bought my Mazda CX5 for RM126k OTR just lat week.
Why would anyone buy this car for RM130k? So much smaller. It is just a B segment. Inside space even smaller than a Myvi. My CX5 is so much bigger than this toycar.
this goes to show one thing, Bermaz dudes cannot do business. that is why in the past, so many cars of theirs fail big time from CX9 to CX7 etc.
they got no idea how to do marketing. Hello abang abang Bermaz, give the dealership to people who got brains. Don’t try to attempt business just because you were “given” then licence to sell cars here.
OMG…u can use CX5 CBU pricing compare to this. U want cheaper CX3, wait the CKD unit…ok.I can see abt 15k-20k between CX5 and CX3.
Totally agreed. Plz learn how to differentiate between Import (CBU) and
local assemble (CKD). Stupity may fall in thyself.
bodohs wait then get angry when CKD is only RM5000 less
Where is Najib’s promise do reduce car prices by 30%? They think most Malaysians can afford RM130k?
RM130K ++, how u gonna fight HRV?
Don’t forget at RM130k++ you can even get CX-5, CRV, X-Trail, Sportage, Tucson, ASX all which has bigger exterior and interior at low or high spec depending on the brand.
If the increase from proposed price of RM120k to RM130k is due to foreign exchange then when our currency strengthens will Bermaz reduce the CX-3 price??
oooo… nice thought.
Different ppl have different opinion. Just like you.
Firstly, CX3 is a Japan iMPORT where else the HRV is
locally assemble. Honda is using outdated technology
and most of the features are almost obsolete.
OMG!! CVT will take out the fun of driving and the performance sucks.
Yeah… at RM130k, a bit over the top. Yes they have tech and all those but end of the day what matters is…. $$$ followed by looks then drivability for lots of people. Lots will wait for CKD I guess.
HRV just tipping at the $$$, and pleasing to the eyes.
Due to weak Ringgit, all automaker price sure will increased
haih, so fed up
Even when our Ringgit was high at 3.2 to the US dollar, we were still payng 3x car prices compared to global car prices.
when will you stop blaming the weak ringgit and blame the cronies?
Wake Up la. Najib’s promise is already fulfilled. Because the ringgit has dropped 30% this year and yet car prices are still maintained. What that means is a myvi extreme 1.5 selling at RM60k was USD 19,300 last year but its only USD 13,900 at today’s exchange rate.
hello, pls wake up, who’s fault making the ringgit weak?
which means it will be priced above their own c-seg SUV which is the CX-5? sendiri lawan sendiri?
So, why am I not buying the CX-5 instead with that price?
Because CX-5 gonna get refreshed in a year or two… And the current CX-5 is ugly…
And while you’re waiting, maybe you can save enough for the next-gen CX-5…
But bro, still better looking than all you hailat cars, no matter how refreshed they are.
So late yet still expensive. Won’t regret waiting for HRV!
I think those who secretly wish to get a countryman but could not afford it would find this option appealing…
Apparently when the clay model was shown to the admin ppl, they were so impressed with it they simply said ” build it”
mazda styled this car to perfection, and in us road tests it won based on handling and feel…
it is not practical nor the cheapest, but when the heart goes against the head, this car will definitely find homes…
THank you PM Najib, Now everyone can buy CX3.
Economy is doing very well
130 for cx3…
omg… anyone can’t tell me the price for cx 5?
Better & still cheaper than Audi Q3
Y not!
Why compare with Q3? Q3 is bigger & premium lahhh. not in the same class
Eh mad ah?
Mazda must be really nuts to price the CX3 at that pricing. For a start, it feels tighter in the back than the HRV and is more claustrophobic cause of the smaller rear glass area.
If not for the iActiveSense, there is nothing that actually differentiates the CX3 from the HRV. Tbh, if I was looking for a good family car, I’d rather have the HRV, even if it has the CVT transmission.
i understand the cbu quality, but the interior of the cx-3 is just of the mazda 2’s….
true…even their salesmen dint recommend this. As tight as Mazda 2, but body as big/expensive as mazda 3. CX5 GL is a better choice priced at 128K except its CKD interior quality reduced, esepcially the dashboard fitting.
Bermaz bring in semi value product, selling as high value product. Good job! thats my good pal.
Lets dig the lobang bigger n bigger.
Sorry Mazda, I’m thinking to wait for you, but now, i will opt for Honda HRV. Thx fr the super selling price. U lost another customer to Honda. More soon.
Top up a few thousands, and get a new Xtrail … bigger and much comfortable car than this.
I have booked one almost 6 months ago. With this 130k price tag , I am thinking twice. Might just cancel my order .
cancel your order and lose your booking money?
give me projector lamp!!! don mazda 2
What! 130k onward…So hilarious! Seems another ridiculous priced mini car. Hey Bermaz please learn from the Toyota Yaris failure. Don’t try knock your head to the same wall if you saw someone killed after attempted it.
WTH 130k?. Thank you la Ajib kor. I better wait for CKD version. Now not advisable to buy car due to the ringgit drop.
Gud luck in selling this Mazda, your pricing strategy sucks big time and who’s to say that when the MYR becomes strong again, prices will fall accordingly?
This price is beyond reacheable for those buyer range of HRV…better buy CX5 for those can afford
130k is too cheap. Should price it at 200k so everyone can only afford to buy proton saga and preve
I thought this is usually Mazda’s MO. Bring in the CBU units at premium price. Iron out issues using the data & feedback from the early adopters. After a year, if they believe the car can compete, bring in the CKD version and only then, priced it competitively. The CX-5 & Mazda3 was sold this way.
Actually, there were agreement between mazda malaysia and mazda cooperation Japan.. in order Bermaz to get lisence as authorize dealer of mazda, bermaz need to sell amount of car CBU from Japan. then after meet some target, Bermaz able to set up CKD plant just like previous cx3 and mazda3.
Mazda Malaysia Sdn. Bhd 70% own by Mazda cooperation. 30% own by BERMAZ.
when they bring it as the CKD, HRV already launch the facelift LOL.
what for…. still stone age technology..
wait up!!
HR-V might get new 1.5turbo during facelift, you might not know…
To keep d price low. Dun over praise or welcome the car. Else it will be like toyota
why omit the i-activsense? if there is no USP feature, its around the same with HR-V, Sportage, CX 5 then no reason of getting cx 3 at this price.
looking at the price alone makes me laugh…
CX-5 is a tad cheaper
“Spec wise, expect a well-equipped car with everything thrown in, except for Mazda’s i-Activsense suite of active safety tech”
Why? It’s CBU from Japan, Mazda Malaysia can add/remove anything they want yet they remove their newest safety technology?
Shame on you Mazda Malaysia
everything come with a price…dude!!!
Book cx3 6 months ago. Going to cancel the booking n take back my deposit. Mazda prising too high for this segment and better to get the hrv or x-trial. Bigger n will quite similar safety specs…
Thank you for mazda n bermaz. Very good pricing strategy. I booked it in june 2015 and I guess I will cancel my booking. Fyi, with 130k I can get so many good choices cars in the market even continental cars spec. Mazda/bermaz, pls keep ur CX3 in garage.
Cancel cx3, will go for the hrv despite the long waiting list. thanks to bermaz.
whattt…so expensive and no awd..b segment car..subaru xv thank you very much
subaru xv deserves more love…its not as modern looking as the hrv but its a way better drive, 4wd and engine is more powerful…however whats lacking is the safety
Booked on July & will definitely cancel with price tag at 130-135k.
Disappoint me with the price. Is too pricy for segment-B SUV, some more not AWD.
Booked in July. Twice thinking and I will cancel the booking. Madza, without the AWD/ iActivsense, is this call ‘WELL SPEC’ for a b-seg car with price tag 130k – 135k?
Mazda, can you bring in the Aussie top spec Akari? AWD, sunroof and top safety features price around $39000+ which roughly equivalent to Myr 119k only!! Why its price much more higher? Although is CBU, this it’s only b segment car.
Really disappointed with the price range. Maybe i’ll just wait for new Kia Sportage next year. HRV is too mainstream for me. I thought Bermaz will position CX3 within HRV price range.
OMG!!!! how can you compare Inport and local assemble
with local contenets built in
Booked on Nov 14 when they announced it in LA… I guess I’m going to call my SA later to cancel it.
Too expensive for car that only have 4 star NCAP rating !
can you tell me what others likes rate in the same segment in EUROncap?
Curi curi malaysia.

Sokong?
Question: buying a car manufactured in 2015, at year end (i.e. Dec. 2015). Will that means the car value will be depreciated in less than a month of ownership?
malaysian style
Typical Mazda or Bermaz rather, method of sales
Bring CBU at high priced , 0 fudge given to local price vs class n then bring the CKD at much much more cheaper, CBU buyers got no love after that. Same case since cx 5 , mazda 3
Basically if u REALLY want the cbu spec n built , pay extra for it else, just w8 thai ver, probably 20k cheaper.
give you a cbu … you complain… give you ckd … you also complain
Not worth the price. Seriously, most people could care less if its CBU or CKD for such cars because even when you’re paying a premium for “CBU” label, you ain’t getting the full CBU package, if you know what i mean. So rather get a CKD car knowing that these car companies will maintain the same quality/standard as it is assembled back in their own country. The local Mazda dealer should just hold it out and launch it as a CKD only model with a lower price, just like how Honda did with the HR-V. Otherwize, this will be yet another failure from the launch. Somebody needs to be fired real soon.
so many poor fags yiyiohoh say bermaz bodoh and blablabla.
HELLO YOUR RINGGIT IS WORTHLESS LA
totally agreed !!
Am disappointed with the price. Anyway, this solve my headache of choosing between HRV & CX3. Will be heading to Honda this weekend to book a white HRV.
If not for weaken RM, it should be much cheaper and launch earlier, I guess…
i wonder how many honda salesman here
CX3 use to be my first choice. But will Bye Bye from now. Feel disappointed on the price.
Will cancel CX3 booking and heading to HRV.
Got a feeling that HRV sales will suddenly increase this month.
Booked few months back but with this price feel frustrated, not yet cancel but already book a honda, not HRV but a Honda Jazz….safe more RM hehe…
Thank you Bermaz for boosting Honda HRV’s sale.
The better value small size SUV…HRV
The better value mid size SUV..X-Trail
The better value large size SUV…Lexus (yup, over Merc, or BMW)
mazda 3, Even CBU should not higher price than CKD CX5.
Its B segment!! Bermaz. u are too much.
130 K, can get better option
B segment, HRV highest spec!
C segment, Kia sportage, CX5, CRV, Xtrail!!
Nobody will buy this CX3. Dissapointed on you! F the bermaz!
There goes my dream of getting CX3. Damnnnn. What other choices are there? HRV is too ugly for my taste, XV is kind of old…ohh gosh as I have just sold my car!
Honda salesman will laugh all the way down.
it will just make other peoples think I am an idiot if i buy the CX3 at 130k for a B Segment CAR!
I bought a full spec CX5 AWD for 155k and bermaz later launches a 125k CX5, making CX5 badge cheap. Bad bermaz bad…
