Mazda has officially discontinued the CX-3 in Japan, with production of the compact crossover set to conclude at the end of this month. The CX-3 was first revealed way back in 2014 and is one of the oldest models in the company’s line-up.
While the company is still accepting orders for the two variants of the CX-3 offered in Japan, this will end once the maximum number of orders is reached, according to a statement on Mazda Japan’s website. Pricing for the model there is between 2,704,900 and 3,315,400 yen (around RM68k and RM84k).
The CX-3 continues to live on in Malaysia because it comes fully imported (CBU) from Thailand since 2022 – it was previously brought in from Japan. At present, our CX-3 comes in three variants, namely the 2.0G 2WD Plus priced at RM126,159 and 2.0G 2WD High at RM139,159 – both figures are on-the-road without insurance.
There’s also the 1.5G 2WD Plus, which is listed in the spec sheet but not seen in the price list effective November 1, 2023. A prior price list from when the CX-3 got updated in December 2023 showed the 1.5G 2WD Plus at RM115,720. In addition to Thailand (our BT-50 also comes from there), the CX-3 will continue to be produced in Mexico.

small size yet expensive, only irrational buyers like peppa could buy it
Happily own and drive own ¯\(ツ)/¯
I must say its a great car to drive in 2.0 guise. Does not feel small.
agree with the great to drive part, but it IS a super tiny car, mazda cars are always small on the inside
How’s the “premium Merz-BMW tier” Mazda doing in Malaysia? Bermaz must think we’re dummy.
To Bermaz, ofc we are dummy… look at the infotainment in the on-selling CX-5, have a laugh at it
I was interested in this model but when it was first sold here the specs were inferior. Now when the specs are good the design is already out of date. What a pity not to have this size as it is perfect for single people like me.
