Mazda offers a stylish and useful range of accessories for the Mazda CX-3. Here we pick our top 5 accessories from a wide line-up, all of them carrying Mazda approval.
Mazda’s CX-3 has been a hit since it was launched in November 2014, helping Mazda to vie for a top-10 spot amongst manufacturers in South Africa. The CX-3 regular sells in the region of 400 units a month and is noted as a highly integrated small SUV that is well priced.
The range here consists of six models with the entry-level model, the 2.0 Active, coming in at just below the R300 000 mark. The range was updated in mid-2018.

Top 5 Mazda CX-3 Accessories
1. Apple Carplay and Android Auto interface kit. Mazda recently launched an attractive kit that can be retrofitted to any Mazda CX-3 (as well as other Mazda models) that has been factory-fitted with the MZD Connect System. The retrofit accessory has been available from Mazda dealers from February 2019 and is compatible with any Apple and Android Operating System handset device. Fitment should be through a Mazda dealer.
2. LED Fog lamps. These LED fog lamps integrate beautifully into the front bumper of the Mazda CX-3 and provide an excellent safety boost in night time driving, or when driving in poor visibility condituons, such as fog or heavy rain. These should be fitted by your Mazda dealer
3. Side skirt kit. The Mazda-approved side skirt enhancer comes in three colours. It can be ordered in red, silver or black, to perfectly integrate with the colour of your CX-3. These enhance the looks of your car while presenting a first-class professional finish that is Mazda-approved. These will be fitted by your Mazda dealer.
4. Roof Spoiler. It is all too easy to over-accessorise a car and instead of enhancing the looks you actually cheapen the overall effect. No chance of that with this Mazda-approved rear roof spoiler, which harmonises perfectly with the roof line and also integrates with the high-level brake light. Mazda dealers can provide easy fitment of this classy item
5. Cargo tray and seat back protector. It’s a great idea to provide protection for your luggage area and this integrated cargo tray and seat back protector will keep the luggage area factory fresh even if you load heavy or sharp-edged objects in the boot. Made of heavy-duty PVC and perfectly integrated to the shape of the CX-3 luggage area, this inexpensive accessory makes a whole lot of sense.
