About the Mazda CX-8
The Mazda CX-8 is the second-largest family SUV in Mazda’s Australian line-up.
Essentially a long-wheelbase version of the CX-5 midsized SUV, the CX-8 can seat seven passengers in a roomy and well-equipped cabin.
It’s narrower than Mazda’s other large SUV, the CX-9, but longer than most mid-size SUVs, which makes it easier to drive in the city but retains the flexibility of a third row of seats.
The flagship variant offers two luxurious ‘captain chairs’ in the second row instead of the usual three-seat bench.
The CX-8 is the only Mazda seven-seater SUV to offer a choice of engines: a 2.5-litre petrol engine or a torquey 2.2-litre twin-turbo diesel.
Petrol-powered versions of the Mazda CX-8 are front-wheel drive, while the diesel is all-wheel drive and offers more performance and better fuel economy.
The Mazda CX-8 was first introduced in 2017 as a Japan-only model but was soon imported into Aussie showrooms in 2018.
The Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Skoda Kodiaq, Toyota Kluger, and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace feature among the CX-8’s showroom competition.
