Mazda bestowed a bounty of updates during the previous model year, which include visual refreshments and additional driver assists, but the company doesn't make any significant changes to the 2020 CX-3 lineup.

looks better than its rivals.

Back seat and cargo area are too small,
coarse engine noises,
can't hide harsh bumps.
