Overview
The 2026 Mazda CX-3 G20 Pure is a small SUV for first-car buyers and city drivers who want something simple and cheap to run, with a five-year warranty behind it. Its 2.0-litre petrol four makes 110kW and 195Nm through a six-speed automatic and claims 6.3L/100km combined at 143g/km on the ADR 81/02 cycle. It also tows 1,200kg braked, which is more than most cars this size manage. The consideration is luggage: cargo room is 264 litres to the tonneau cover, which is tight for the class, though folding the rear seats opens 1,174 litres to the roof.

Range in the real world
How far a tank really takes you once speed, load and towing are counted, not just the lab figureTowing and load
The 4WD and load hardware this variant lists, the rig calculator, the load plans and the cost to towCost to tow
The real fuel/energy cost once you hitch up. Pick a trailer and trip.
⚠ Not every limit could be checked: the manufacturer publishes no GCM for this vehicle, so this verdict rests only on the limits that are published.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.
Off-Road Capability
The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.
Unladen figures. Approach, departure and breakover angles and ground clearance all reduce once the vehicle is loaded with passengers, cargo or towball weight, so treat these as a best-case guide.
Manufacturer-published figures, shown as a guide. Not independently verified and may vary by variant, trim, tyre or model year. Vehicle drawings are schematic and ride-height differences are exaggerated for legibility. Confirm with the manufacturer before relying on them for off-road planning.
Child seats and anchors
ISOFIX lower anchors clip a compatible child seat straight to the car's frame, the quickest, most mistake-proof fit.
Top-tether straps stop a forward-facing seat pitching in a crash. Australian law requires a tether on every forward-facing child seat, so rear seats almost always have them.
Most 5-seat cars carry 2 ISOFIX on the outer 2nd-row seats plus tethers across the row; some 7-seaters add anchors in the third row.

The 2026 Mazda CX-3 G20 GT SP is a small five-seat petrol SUV with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It's $34,800 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Fuel use is 6.3L/100km on the combined cycle, and the boot holds 231 litres with the seats up or 1,141 litres with the rear seats folded. That seats-up boot figure is on the small side for a family, so it suits singles, couples or anyone who mostly drives around town and wants a compact SUV.

If you want a small petrol SUV that's easy to park in tight city spots and you don't often carry bulky gear, the 2026 Mazda CX-3 G20 Akari is worth a look. It's a 5-seat SUV with a 110kW petrol engine, a 6-speed automatic and drive to the front wheels, priced at $37,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs. Fuel use is 6.3L/100km on the combined cycle, and it carries a 48-litre fuel tank. The catch is the boot, which holds 231 litres with the seats up and 1,141 litres with the rear seats folded, so families with prams and sports bags may find it tight.
