2019 mazda CX-30 in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2019 Mazda CX-3: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2019 Mazda CX-3 is part of the 1st Generation (DK Series), but it carries a significant update. Models produced from May 2018 onwards (sold as 2019 MY) received a mechanical overhaul, including the replacement of the older 1.5L Diesel with a new 1.8L unit. This makes it the style leader in the sub-compact crossover segment, prioritizing driving dynamics over sheer interior volume.
Powertrain & Performance
The 2019 model year is critical because of the engine update:
- 2.0L Petrol (PE-VPS): The safe, reliable choice. It is naturally aspirated, responsive, and avoids DPF complexities. Ideal for short city commutes. Consumes 12–14 km/l.
- 1.8L Diesel (S8-DPTS): Introduced in May 2018 to replace the 1.5L. It is smoother, punchier (114 hp), and crucially, has better emissions management, reducing the risk of DPF clogging on Kenyan roads. Returns 18–20 km/l.
Design & Practicality
The CX-3 is compact. Rear legroom is tight for tall adults, and the boot (350 liters) is suited for weekly groceries rather than holiday luggage. Ground clearance is 160mm, which handles speed bumps well but is not intended for off-roading. The "Touring" trims feature a stunning minimalistic dashboard with a rotary infotainment controller.
Reliability & Maintenance
If buying Diesel, ensure it is the 1.8L version (Model Code starting with DK8, not DK5) to future-proof your reliability. The Petrol 2.0L is bulletproof but requires high-quality spark plugs. Body parts like the LED headlights are expensive; fit anti-theft protectors immediately.
💰 2019 Mazda CX-3 Price in Kenya (Import vs Local)
Local dealers price the CX-3 highly due to its "Premium" feel. Importing the Petrol Touring grade offers the best savings.
| 2019 Trim Level | Est. Import Cost | Avg. Dealer Price | Est. Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L Petrol Touring | Ksh 2.3M - 2.5M | Ksh 2.9M - 3.2M | ~Ksh 600k |
| 1.8L Diesel L-Package | Ksh 2.5M - 2.8M | Ksh 3.3M - 3.6M | ~Ksh 800k |
The Ci Verdict
The 2019 Mazda CX-3 is the ideal car for singles or couples living in Nairobi. It looks expensive, drives beautifully, and fits into tight parking spots. If you don't need to carry 4 adults regularly, it is a smarter buy than the larger CX-5.

Honda Vezel
More spacious inside with better "Magic Seats" flexibility, but the dual-clutch transmission has a mixed reliability record.

Striking design and hybrid efficiency (1.8L), but the rear windows are tiny, making the back seat feel claustrophobic.
