Mazda CX-3 Previewed in Malaysia; Launch Still Awaited

Kuala Lumpur: When everyone is waiting for a launch, Mazda CX-3 was previewed in Malaysia at the 2015 NST-MAI ASEAN auto show. According to Bermaz, the official dealer of Mazda in Malaysia, this crossover would mark its Malaysia debut on December 8 with one variant only and price range from RM130k to RM135k. Although, it also being planned to locally produce this crossover but as of now 2,000 units will be imported from Japan. We wonder, why not the neighboring Thailand-produced CX-3?
