马自达CX-3紧凑型跨界车继去年大幅升级后，近日车厂又在纽约车展发布了2019款车型。新车改进主要集中于提升驾驶员舒适性，为此车厂提升了内饰材质，同时动力性也有小幅升级。这款更精致的CX-3将于今年春末上市，不过车厂要等到临近上市时才公布价格。新车继续搭载马自达的Skyactiv-G2.0升四缸引擎，当功率和扭矩提升至110千瓦/148马力和201牛米，高于现行版的109千瓦/146马力和198牛米。新车外观也与老款车略有不同，格栅采用水平双骨横杠，而非现行版的单条横杠。前脸采用镀铬格栅装饰，侧窗底部和雾灯周围为黑色钢琴漆装饰。尾灯组中间为圆形图案，而现行版是矩形，车身侧面可见重新设计18英寸轮圈。同时，CX-3与MX-5Miata和CX-5一样采用灵魂钻石红车身涂装。车厢内采用电子手刹替代现行版的机械手刹，从而腾出了更多空间。中控台和前排座椅之间的扶手更大。驾驶员和前排乘客的座椅更宽大，采用了高密度吸震聚氨酯泡沫，舒适性获得提升。后排乘客也拥有自己的中央扶手，内置杯架。另外，更厚实的车门面板和后排车窗也创造了更安静的车厢环境。CX-3顶级款可提供全部真皮座椅（黑白两色可选），仪表板和车门内饰板采用灰色仿麂皮材质包裹。
2019 Mazda CX-3 Debuts With 148 HP And Improved Interior
After fairly significant upgrades last year, Mazda has extensive improvements ready again for the 2019 CX-3 compact crossover. The tweaks focus on driver comfort by offering improved materials in the cabin and a tiny bit more power under the hood. The more refined CX-3 will go on sale later this spring, but Mazda won't announce pricing details until closer to launch.
The CX-3 continues to use a Mazda's Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but it now produces 148 horsepower (110 kilowatts) and 148 pound-feet (201 Newton-meters) of torque, rather than 146 hp (109 kW) and 146 lb-ft (198 Nm) in the existing model. The little crossover has slightly different exterior styling, too. The 2019's grille now features paired groups of horizontal slats, instead of the individual crosspieces on the current model. Chrome trim now adorns the corners of the front fascia. For a shiny flourish, the side window surrounds and foglight bezels now have piano black accents. A circular element incorporates into the center of the taillights, rather than the existing rectangular element, and there are redesigned 18-inch wheels. Mazda's ruby-like Soul Red Crystal is now part of the color palette, too, like on the MX-5 Miata and CX-5.
Inside, Mazda frees up some room by replacing the existing physical handbrake with an electronic one. This allows for a larger center console and armrest between the front seats. The driver and front passenger should be a little more comfy in the chairs that are wider and now use high-density, vibration-absorbing urethane foam. Occupants in the back get their own new center armrest with built-in cupholders, too. Plus, thicker door panels and rear-door glass create a quieter cabin.
Top trims of the CX-3 will now get full leather upholstery for the seats in either white or black. A gray, faux-suede material covers the dashboard and door trim on these models.
