The 2016 Mazda CX-3 arrived to a good bit of fanfare from buyers and experts alike as many applauded its sporty handling, peppy powertrain, and comfy cabin. Today, Mazda has revealed the details and pricing on the 2017 model, and it looks like the tiny crossover is primed for back-to-back success.

The 2017 CX-3 will see not a penny increase in its base price as it’ll start from $19,960 in its Sport trim level. This trim will remain unchanged, meaning it’ll include things like 16-inch alloy wheels, cloth seating, power mirrors, a 7-inch MAZDA CONNECT infotainment system, and more. The Touring trim level will start from $21,960—no change in price—and it will gain new 18-inch alloy wheels to go along with all the other standard goodies that were included last year. Finally, the Grand Touring trim, which will include premium bits like Lux Suede seats, LED headlights, Adaptive Front-Lighting System, and more, will remain steady at $24,990.

For buyers looking for some added safety, the Grand Touring model’s i-ACTIVSENSE Package is now $750 cheaper at $1,170—last year, it ran $1,920. This package will include high-end safety features like adaptive cruise, automatic braking, lane-departure warning, auto high beams, and rain-sensing wipers.

The CX-3’s powertrain will remain unchanged for the new model year. It’ll continue with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that that’ll produce 146 horsepower and ship it to the front wheels via a six-speed manual or a six-speed auto transmission. All-wheel drive will be optional.

Mazda expects to have the 2017 CX-3 in showrooms in early July.
