KODO Design
Art in Motion.
We breathed soul into steel when designing the 2018 CX-3. Guided by KODO “Soul of Motion” philosophy, the CX-3 features striking, well-balanced proportions and richly contoured doors to evoke a sense of movement even when still. The result is a form that’s sleek, strong and ready to take on the road.
KODO Design
KODO Design’s taut, muscular lines exude the power and elegance of a wild animal in the instant before it pounces on its prey – even at a standstill.
Clay Modelling
Before we moulded sheet metal, every line of the exterior was hand sculpted in clay by our designers to ensure that you experience driving exhilaration before you get behind the wheel.
Embrace S Curves.
SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control (GVC) works behind the scenes to achieve a smoother, less fatiguing drive for you and your passengers by subtly adjusting engine torque, intentionally optimizing vehicle weight transfer during every day commutes and spirited drives alike. The result is steering that is more precise and a more comfortable ride. Winner of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s (AJAC) award for Best New Innovation Technology 2017.
More Confidence
Due to irregularities and undulations in the road surface, your vehicle does not always travel along the expected line, forcing you to make steering corrections. With GVC, your CX-3 responds to driver inputs with fewer steering adjustments, so your vehicle behaves as you intend and you enjoy a more confident drive.
More Comfort
Fatigue steadily builds as you continue to make minor steering corrections. GVC helps alleviate these corrections, especially over long distances. Plus, smooth transitions between G-forces suppresses head and body sway, allowing for a more comfortable ride for you and your passengers.
Enhanced Peace of Mind
GVC enhances handling, stability and the feeling of the tires gripping the road. You’ll gain an even greater feeling of control and security during evasive manoeuvres as well as in rain, snow and on poor road surfaces.

i‑ACTIV AWD
Master Any Path.
Ignite your passion for driving with i‑ACTIV All‑Wheel Drive‡. Experience exhilarating handling and performance on any surface, whether tackling icy, winding roads or simply driving to the store. With sensors to enhance every drive, become one with the road wherever you go and simply enjoy the drive more.
Essentially Predictive
i‑ACTIV AWD monitors driving conditions 200 times per second – everything from steering angle and windshield wiper use to exterior temperature and braking patterns helps predict driving conditions.
Ideally Responsive
A slight amount of torque is continuously transferred to the rear wheels to automatically deliver more traction at the precise moment it is needed.
Exceptionally Fuel Efficient
i‑ACTIV AWD is one reason the CX‑3 achieves outstanding fuel economy. By ensuring optimal distribution of torque and minimizing drivetrain energy loss, you’re only using fuel to power AWD when you need to▲.
i‑ACTIVSENSE Safety Technologies
The 2018 CX‑3 makes safety a priority with a full roster of active and passive safety features like rearview camera, Hill Launch Assist and a theft deterrent system. Plus, i‑ACTIVSENSE♦ safety features use the latest innovations such as radar and laser technology to give you a better sense of your surroundings and help avoid hazards on the road. The result is that you can focus on the fun of driving.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control†† judges the relative speed and distance to the car ahead, and works within a set speed range to maintain a safe following distance. The system’s Close Proximity Warning provides audible and visual warnings when it senses a fast approach to the vehicle ahead.
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
New for 2018 model year, Traffic Sign Recognition system♦♦ uses cameras to read road signs such as speed limit, do not enter and stop signs.▽ The colour Active Driving Display shows this information so you can stay informed without taking your eyes off the road.
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
SBS†† can help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision at speeds above 16 km/hour and will alert the driver and apply the brakes in the case of an impending collision.
Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW)
The Forward Obstruction Warning†† system detects vehicles ahead and alerts the driver to an approaching risk of collision early enough for the driver to take evasive action.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
The available LDWS†† gives audible and visual warnings when the vehicle is about to unintentionally depart from its lane at a speed of 70 km/hour or higher.
High Beam Control System (HBC)
Available HBC†† helps the driver see better at night by automatically switching to low beams when it detects oncoming traffic and/or a vehicle ahead.
Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring (ABSM)
ABSM‡‡ alerts you to objects in your left or right blind spots. If you signal a lane change while an object is there, the light blinks and a cabin warning chime sounds. The system also warns of fast-approaching vehicles.
LED Headlights with Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS)
The available LED headlights with AFS♦ are designed to help you see around corners at night, improving visibility and allowing you to spot potential hazards and dangers ahead.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
When backing up, the available RCTA‡‡ detects a vehicle approaching from the side and promptly alerts the driver with an audible warning, as well as a visual warning in either side mirror.
