Mazda has confirmed the start of production of the CX-3 at the AutoAlliance (AAT) Plant in Thailand today. This move will see the crossover share the same production line with the Mazda 2, Ford Fiesta, Ford Everest, Ranger and the its BT-50 twin.
The AutoAlliance Plant in Rayong, Thailand is the second facility to produce the CX-3, the first being its main facility in Hiroshima. Kiyotaka Shobuda, managing executive officer of Mazda said, “AAT is an extremely important hub that consolidates our system for supplying the CX-3 promptly and consistently to the growing compact SUV market.”
In Malaysia, the CX-3 is slated for a local launch some time in early December this year, while deliveries are expected to start in the middle of the month, as confirmed by Bermaz Motor. Prices of the Honda HR-V fighter is said to range between RM130K to RM135K, a tad higher than what was estimated earlier.
It’s expected to arrive on our shores in front-wheel drive form and without Mazda’s i-Activsense suite of safety tech. We’ll likely receive the 150 hp/204 Nm SkyActive-G 2.0 litre petrol engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. We’ve driven the Mazda CX-3 in Melbourne recently – read our test-drive review here.

Greedy Bermaz. With a price tag of RM130k++ for CX-3, I guess CX-5 is a better buy.
When you close the door, you don’t feel the car is solid, it is just like a piece of plastic. This car is over rated.
Go get yourself a tank then. How about the US M1A2?

Closing down Proton? After Proton closed down, will you provide new job to the employees? will you take care of their family?

Stupid you. Where you get your fact saying Australian population is 60mil?
Possibly cbu from thailand instead of japan?
for this price, I will get a cx5. stupid bermaz.
or perhaps Mazda3 would be a better buy with all the full specs.
Bermaz can CKD this CX3 surely beat HR-V
It’s taken Mazda far too long to bring this to the Thai market. And not giving launch info to prospective buyers doesn’t help.. I was waiting but put deposit on HRV two weeks ago
They are competing against the entry level of cx5. Internal price war?
