Mazda 6 and CX-3 axed in the US because SUVs

The Mazda 6 and CX-3 have been axed in the United States because of slow sales, which is a shame because one of them was a great car.


The other’s just a hatch on stilts, and never really caught on. With the more spacious, more luxurious, and much better CX-30 now on sale, the CX-3 was always on limited time.

The 6 has fallen to under 20,000 sales in 2020 because of the pandemic, and because everyone is switching from midsize sedans to SUVs.

It will reportedly be replaced by a new model based on a RWD platform, and with the option of an I6 engine.
