The 2018 Mazda CX-3 should come without bigger changes compared to the current model. This small crossover will definitely continue to be one of the leaders in the segment. It was revealed in November 2014, while the production version came next year, as a 2016 year model. It rides on the same platform as Mazda 2 and shares most of its parts with this small hatchback. Since this will be the third year of production, we are pretty sure that the company won’t introduce bigger changes. This excellent crossover is still very fresh and it should remain in the same form for another few years. Since it probably won’t feature any bigger change, it will come in usual time, which is somewhere late in the year.
