The 2026 Mazda CX-3 G20 Pure is an affordable compact SUV that suits first-time buyers and city drivers seeking practicality without complexity, offering five-star ANCAP safety and a five-year warranty. Its standout strength is genuine real-world efficiency, delivering 6L/100km combined with a modest 2.0-litre petrol engine that makes it genuinely economical to run at approximately $2,560 annually. The main consideration is boot space at 350 litres-comfortable for urban errands but tight compared to rivals if you regularly transport larger cargo or need frequent family trips with luggage.
