Rather than bore you with a traditional run through of its highlights with a voiceover and slow-panning clips of its features, here is Mazda South Africa taking a slightly more fun approach to showing off the Mazda CX-3.
The compact B-segment SUV is shown as the ideal getaway car in this animated clip. A knight in shining armour rescues a damsel in distress from a certain dodgy king, and they flee the scene in a CX-3.
The king orders his armed guards on motorcycles to stop the fleeing lovebirds, but to no avail, thanks to the CX-3’s extensive equipment and features. An engine start-stop button is key to their quick getaway, and its LED headlamps light the way as night falls. Cheesy? Yes, but cleverly unconventional.
In Malaysia, the Mazda CX-3 was only recently unveiled with a price tag of RM131,218. Only one variant of the car is available, equipped with a SkyActiv-G 2.0 litre petrol engine, tuned for 154 hp and 204 Nm.
As in the video above, the Malaysian-market CX03 features the brand’s LED headlights – with adaptive front lighting – and an engine push-start button as standard. It also comes with an MZD connect 7.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system as well as Mazda’s Active Driving Display screen (head-up display).

Okay… A lil’ bit weird… unless forced marriage and bride-stealing is a thing in South Africa.
no cx-3 owners are invited to any weddings after this…
when will Mazda update the infotainment software on the pre facelift cx-5? USB & bluetooth function s**ks…
Aww, it would have been much more better if it’s featured in anime… But it’s a nice video.
Look like mazda is the next nikka car. Toyota for ah beng. Proton for rempit.
