2017 Mazda CX-3 | Engine and Transmission Review
On our test sheet, the CX-3’s acceleration is mediocre. Out on the road, the CX-3 feels plenty peppy thanks to throttle response that is both immediate and linear.
Beneath the CX-3’s long snout sits a 146-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It’s not the most potent four-cylinder engine in this segment—that title belongs to the Kia Soul Exclaim’s 1.6-liter turbo—but our all-wheel-drive Grand Touring test vehicle made it from zero to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds. The engine itself sounds coarse, particularly at high speeds, but its rev-happy nature adds a raciness its rivals lack.
