What makes the Mazda CX-3 special
Mazda CX-3 tune: a gas crossover with a naturally aspirated engine
The catalog is European, so a U.S. CX-3 is matched by engine code and hp. So the typical CX-3 is the 2.0 SKYACTIV-G gas engine, with direct injection and no turbo. The U.S. sold the CX-3 from the 2016 to the 2021 model year, with the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 as its only engine. Front-wheel-drive cars make 120 hp and 204 Nm; the 150 hp version is all-wheel drive only.
The performance chip works on both. A 150 hp CX-3 with the GAN GA+ reaches 168 hp and 228 Nm. These are the stated gains for this engine type, not a dyno reading of your car. Put the same module on the 120 hp car and it reaches 134 hp and 228 Nm.
The 2018 update and the diesels
Mazda showed the CX-3 in Geneva in March 2015 and began sales in June 2015: a five-door small crossover on the Mazda2 platform. The model has just one generation. Its July 2018 facelift brought a new grille and an electric parking brake. In Germany, CX-3 registrations hit their high in 2019.
After July 2018 the 2.0 gas engine is rated 121 hp and 207 Nm; the 150 hp version also has 207 Nm through 2020. A 121 hp car is closest to the 120 hp row. Diesels: the 1.5 SKYACTIV-D (105 hp, 270 Nm), which the 1.8 SKYACTIV-D (115 hp) replaced in July 2018.
Mazda CX-3 tuning FAQ
Mazda CX-3 performance chip: 120 hp front-wheel drive or 150 hp AWD, which one is mine?
Pick by drivetrain: the 120 hp car is front-wheel drive, the 150 hp car is all-wheel drive. Both work with the GAN GA+, rated at up to 12% more power. The catalog also states up to 15% lower fuel consumption with an economical driving style.
Mazda CX3 ECU and chip tuning: what does the module change and what stays untouched?
The CX-3 module doesn't flash the ECU: it sits between the engine sensors and the ECU and adjusts their signals. Factory software, checksums and the flash counter are left alone. Your factory warranty is preserved. The ECU software is never changed, and you can remove the module at any time.
Is the CX-3 diesel in the catalog?
No. The catalog has neither the 1.5 SKYACTIV-D (105 hp) nor the 1.8 SKYACTIV-D (115 hp).
Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 tune?
Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU flash tune without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
