Comparison of Pros & Cons
Pros
  • Interior- Putting aside the awkwardly shaped freestanding display panel, the base EX variant features premium standard equipment like quilted leather upholstery while GT-Line trim adds sporty touches like red contrast stitching and soft touch material.

  • Practicality- 433 litre of boot space with adjustable floorboard is comparable to most of its rivals. The rear seatbacks split 60:40 and fold flat to accommodate different passenger and cargo configuration.

  • Like the Mazda 2, the CX-3's interior is well put together 
  • 2.0-litre engine offers a lot of grunt for a car this small
  • Handling is good

Cons
  • Performance- Based on the outdated Hyundai’s Gamma II 1.6 lire MPI engine, the performance figures fall short of expectation.

  • Safety Feature- At this price point, the absence of Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is almost inexcusable. A similarly priced range toping Toyota Corolla Cross is similarly equipped with the inclusion of ADAS.

  • Fuel Economy- While it is no gas-guzzler, at 6.7L/100km, it is one of the least economical engine in the segment.

  • Lack of interior space and difficult cargo loading
  • Still feels like driving a taller Mazda 2
  • Low resolution parking camera
