The CX-3 is Mazda's smallest and cheapest SUV, an easy to park light SUV popular with city drivers and first car buyers. It is a five seater with a neat cabin, a raised driving position and an efficient petrol engine, and it comes with safety tech as standard. The range is simple, with four grades from the value Pure up to the leather lined Akari. It is showing its age against newer rivals on rear space, but it suits buyers who want a small, dependable SUV that is cheap to run.

The AutoFocus Verdict

The Pure is one of the cheapest new SUVs on sale, and it doesn't feel stripped out. The key safety gear and wireless CarPlay are standard. The Evolve adds keyless entry and parking sensors, but the Pure is the pick for buyers who want a dependable city SUV on a budget.
