The 2023 Mazda CX-3’s cabin is a neat little lounge: tidy design, quality trims, and front seats that hold you like a firm handshake. Rear space is snug for adults, and the boot is about 264 L, so think “weekly shop” not “IKEA flat-pack festival.”

Infotainment is straightforward with a rotary controller and smartphone mirroring, and the ergonomics are pleasantly driver-focused. Higher grades add nicer materials and a head-up display, while road noise is kept well in check for a small SUV. It feels upmarket without demanding upmarket money—how very un-SUV of it.
