Mazda plans to withdraw the CX-3 from its European catalog at the end of 2021. The small SUV would not be replaced. On the other hand, two new, much larger models will come to cap the manufacturer’s CX range on the Old Continent between 2022 and 2023.
Mazda recently announced an SUV offensive for the coming two years with the launch of the all-new CX-50, CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90. However, only the CX-60 and CX-70 are intended for Europe.
