About This 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring

This 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring comes in at 96,337 miles — a reasonable figure for a vehicle of this age, and well within the range where a well-maintained Mazda continues to thrive. The exterior Titanium color gives this SUV a sophisticated, modern look that holds up beautifully on the road.

Whether you're commuting through Chowchilla or heading out on a weekend run toward the foothills, this CX-3 is a confident daily driver.

2017 Mazda CX-3 Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this CX-3 Grand Touring is powered by Mazda's SKYACTIV®-G 2.0L 4-Cylinder DOHC 16V engine, paired with a smooth 6-Speed Automatic transmission sending power to the front wheels. The SKYACTIV-G engine is engineered for high compression efficiency, delivering a responsive, peppy driving feel without sacrificing fuel economy. Real-world drivers typically see around 29 MPG city and 34 MPG highway — excellent numbers for a small SUV. The 6-speed automatic shifts crisply and intuitively, making this a relaxed cruiser on Highway 99 and a fun-to-drive option on winding back roads. The FWD configuration keeps things nimble and predictable in everyday driving conditions throughout the San Joaquin Valley.

Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring Features and Interior

The Grand Touring trim is where the CX-3 gets genuinely impressive. Expect features like leather-trimmed seating, a Bose premium audio system, a heads-up display, heated front seats, and Mazda's MAZDA CONNECT infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen. The interior is driver-focused in the best way — controls fall naturally to hand, the materials feel upscale for the segment, and the overall cabin design reflects Mazda's commitment to the "zoom-zoom" experience even in a small crossover. Rear passengers have a reasonable amount of space for shorter trips, and the cargo area is versatile for grocery runs, gym bags, and weekend gear. Active safety features on the Grand Touring include blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning — technologies that were far from standard equipment in 2017.

Mazda CX-3 Reliability and Ownership

Mazda has earned a strong reputation for building vehicles that last, and the CX-3 is no exception. J.D. Power and Consumer Reports have both recognized the CX-3 favorably for reliability and owner satisfaction. The SKYACTIV platform engines are known for holding up well past 150,000 miles with proper maintenance — oil changes, fluid checks, and routine service go a long way with this platform. Common ownership experiences include low ownership costs, minimal major mechanical issues, and high resale value compared to competitors. At just under 100,000 miles, this CX-3 Grand Touring has plenty of life left and represents a smart buy for the budget-conscious shopper who still wants something premium.
