The Most Important Changes to the 2019 Mazda CX-3 Crossover In One Image

The 2019 Mazda CX-3 subcompact crossover has had a refresh. Most of the important changes can be summed up in the above image we created by blending center console and rear armrest photos for you.

The interior is where the substantive things change for this model year. The CX-3 is already the critics favorite in the subcompact crossover segment, so why mess with success if you're Mazda? To create more creature comforts for your shoppers, that's why!

Up front, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 benefits from having a new power-actuated parking brake. That little button takes up less space in a vehicle in a segment in which space is at a premium. The upshot of this change is that Mazda could make the center console storage area larger. The seats are now also available with full-leather surfaces. Mazda has also added new content. The rear seats now have integrated cupholders. Kanpai!
