Mazda CX-3 GT Sport Nav+ limited-edition model revealed

Mazda has announced an additional trim level for its CX-3 SUV with the addition of the GT Sport Nav+ model. Only 500 cars will be available in the UK, all featuring upgraded styling and leather upholstery. It goes on sale in June, with prices starting from £24,095 for the manual and £25,095 for the automatic.

The main exterior difference between the GT Sport Nav+ and the trim it's based on is silver exterior detailing. You’ll find silver scuff plates on the front and rear bumpers, and bright silver door mirror caps too. Three metallic and pearlescent (Mazda calls it Mica) colours are available: black, ceramic (an off-white) and dark red. Other standard fit items include LED headlights, LED fog lamps, rear privacy glass and 18-inch alloy wheels.

All GT Sport Nav+ cars come with red and white Nappa leather upholstery as standard, and there are soft-touch materials fitted to the armrests and dashboard as well as a power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory function. Other standard kit includes keyless entry, a reversing camera, a heated leather steering wheel, a Bose sound system and traffic sign recognition.

The Mazda CX-3 GT Sport Nav+ is powered by a 2.0-litre engine, producing 119bhp. Power goes to the front wheels via either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox. The manual variant offers a 0-62mph time of nine seconds, with claimed fuel economy of up to 42.8mpg.
