If you are in the market for a five-passenger crossover that gets great gas mileage, then the 2021 Mazda CX-3 GS is your best bet.
Â
This petite SUV is powered by a Skyactiv-G 2.0 DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder motor that produces 149 hp and 146 lb-ft of torque. Using either standard FWD or the available i-Activ AWD, you can expect to get up to 6.9 L/100 km on the highway. It can even tow up to 907 kg (2,000 lbs). That’s about 226 kg (500 lbs) more than most competitors.
Â
Rolling on 16-inch alloy wheels with a shiny silver finish and all-season tires, the 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift model, Drive selection, and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters give the vehicle more of a racecar feel. For a smoother experience on the roads, a coil-spring front suspension has been installed with a stabilizer bar and a rear torsion beam.
