The subcompact crossover segment's popularity is rising like a tidal wave over the automotive industry, and Mazda seems poised to capture the lion's share with the visually-stunning and fun-to-drive 2016 CX-3. Today, we're going to go into some of the features that are making this CUV such a hit.

The initial draw for most buyers of the latest generation of KODO-wearing Mazda models is its combination of style and gas mileage. This is something the CX-3 has in spades, with up to 35 mpg highway from its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Offered in front wheel, and all-wheel drive configurations, buyers of the latter will come to appreciate the responsiveness of the i-ACTIV AWD system that's showcased in the clip above.
