The CX-3 and CX-30 duo are catching customers’ eyes in the SUV B-segment thanks to their design, technology and price.
B-segment SUVs are the mainstay of the SUV market in Viet Nam. Automakers in this market have at least one product to meet local market demand with different prices and a variety of origins ranging from imported to locally assembled.
With reduced registration fees, THACO AUTO has offered Vietnamese users the two CX-3 and CX-30 since April 2021, when the demand for high-riding SUVs was blooming.
Both models have the advantage position with the origin of imported CBU from Thailand, becoming a plus point for the two models with a variety of versions and safety technologies that make the SUV duo much favoured.
Dominate the segment
Joining the B-segment SUVs quite late, the two models, the Mazda CX-3 and CX-30, have certain advantages against other competitors.
To make a mark with users, the CX-3 and CX-30 embrace the KODO philosophy and design language of “Less is more.”
The CX-3 inherits many lines from the the CX-5 and CX-8, with its sleek headlights and taillights adding a bit of aggression to the aesthetic, while the chrome trim is found on the grille and vertical fog light.
Meanwhile, the Mazda CX-30 is more elegant and features brilliant LED headlights and Daytime Running.

The exterior design of the CX-3 and CX30 feature similarities in being equipped with 18-inch aluminium alloy wheels and a modern LED lamp on all lenses. The roofs of the two models are gently stroked from front to back, providing a seamless feel, optimising the vehicles' aerodynamics.
With the design language “Less is more,” the cockpit of the CX-3 and CX-30 duo have a minimalist style but still ensures enough functions for drivers.
The driving position is excellent, and you get a good view of the road. On the plus side, the best bit is the standard head-up display (HUD), allowing you to keep your eyes on the road for longer and make safer driving.
For the Mazda CX-3 model, drivers can find utilities such as powered driver’s seat memory function, gearshift paddles behind the steering wheel, 7-inch central display, standard-fit Apple Carplay, automatic anti-glare rearview mirror. The CX-30 model has dual-zone automatic climate control with rear air vents, a sunroof and an 8.8-inch central display.
The “heart” of the Mazda CX-3 is the new generation of SkyActive technology with a 1.5-litre engine serving up to 100hp and 144 Nm of torque.
The CX-30 model uses a 2.0-litre engine that produces 154 hp and 200 Nm of torque. Compared to others in the same segment, the CX-3 and CX-30 duo are somewhat superior.
An urban SUV model needs design, power, and safety features. Notably, the CX-3 and CX-30 duo are equipped with the most intelligent safety technologies.
The Mazda CX-3 is equipped with Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) that helps the driver avoid frontal collisions and smart adaptive headlights, blind-spot monitoring and reverse cross-traffic, driver attention and adaptive headlights.
