Comparison of Pros & Cons
Pros
  • 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
Read More
  • New 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine taken from the Proton X50 improves fuel economy
  • Older 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is still available in the highest variant, the Proton X70 Premium
  • Driving experience remains remarkably quiet, as the noise and vibrations of the 3-cylinder powerplant is muted by a sound-insulating polyurethane engine cover

Cons
  • Lack of interior space and difficult cargo loading
  • Still feels like driving a taller Mazda 2
  • Low resolution parking camera
Read More
  • New engine is 45 Nm less torquey than the larger 1.8-litre unit
  • Like before, only the mid-range Proton X70 Executive variant gets an all-wheel drive option
  • Exterior and equipment updates are a little too discreet for a facelift model
