Australia media recently sampled everything the Mazda CX-80 has to offer at the local press launch in the Sunshine Coast region of Queensland, spending time in all three available powertrains – a six cylinder petrol and diesel, and a plug-in hybrid with up to 65km of electric-only range – as well as the compelling choice of specifications, ranging from Pure to Azami SP.

Here’s what they had to say:

“The Mazda CX-80 gets so much right. It's big, the petrol and diesels are keenly priced, it's safe, beautifully finished inside and out and looks more expensive than it is. All of the hard work appears to have yielded the right results”- Which Car? “The cabin is spacious and stylish, it offers a long list of technology, there’s a broad range of models to appeal to different buyers, and it delivers a sporty drive thanks in part to a pair of muscular six-cylinder engines”
– Drive “You'll find the CX-80 is a largely comfortable, largely premium, and largely large three-row SUV that, at first blush, feels like a very worthy successor to the popular CX-8 and CX-9" – Carsguide

“Mazda shoppers need a more affordable three-row large SUV, and it’s here in the CX-80 Pure, which is just a damn good family car for the price asked” – Chasing Cars “For someone stepping in from a CX-8 or CX-9, the CX-80 Pure will be a reassuringly familiar experience. It feels attuned to its role as a family hauler” – carsales

The Mazda CX-80 is available to order now in Mazda dealerships nationwide.
