Mazda to take on the Nissan Juke with new compact crossover in 2015; features Kodo design language and SkyActiv technologyMazda has revealed the first official design sketches of its new compact crossover, the CX-3, ahead of its public debut at the Los Angeles motor show next month.
The CX-3, which is set to take on the likes of the Nissan Juke, will be launched around April next year. Mazda has confirmed the model will go on sale in Europe and the UK.
From this official sketch, we can see the CX-3 features Mazda's "Kodo - Soul of Motion" design language, and sports a large central grille with prominent Mazda badging.
Mazda says the CX-3 will carry "the full range of Skyactiv technology" from its range. Reports suggest the new model will borrow its engine line-up from the new Mazda 2, so expect the firm's new 1.5-litre turbodiesel engine to feature, offering around 104bhp, as well as a Skyactiv-G petrol option with up to 114bhp.
The Japanese marque has also confirmed it will be displaying facelifted versions of the CX-5 and 6 at the LA show, alongside the new MX-5.
