The Mazda CX-3 is a small SUV built on the same base as the Demio, but taller, for town driving and small families. Most on Kenyan roads have the 1500cc turbo diesel with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. Later cars have an 1800cc turbo diesel, and some have the 2000cc petrol, which uses more fuel. The diesel CX-3 uses less fuel than the bigger CX-5. Expect about 16.6 km/L, or KSh 13.75 per km at today's Nairobi diesel price.
