Mazda CX-3 DJ1 SKYACTIV-G 150 Exclusive-Line AWD - Terrain

Is the Mazda CX-3 DJ1 SKYACTIV-G 150 Exclusive-Line AWD also suitable for off-road use? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. Wanting to go into real off-road it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many vehicles that look off-road capable but have limited capability to do so.

The Mazda CX-3 has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. The ground clearance, another important criterion, is 155 mm for this motor vehicle. This is an average value, i.e. dirt roads and slightly uneven terrain are no problem for the car. Torque is available at 207 Nm, which is something you can start with - but if you pull a lot, you will also feel it properly.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The Mazda CX-3 has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
