The Mazda CX-3 should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2023 2.0L High: 206 N·m; 2023 2.0L Plus: 206 N·m; 2023 1.5L Plus: 149 N·m. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
