Ahead of local deliveries commencing soon, the Mazda CX-80 has gone on sale in Australia.
Priced from $54,950 plus on-road costs, the CX-80 will replace the CX-8 in the Australian Mazda lineup but uses the same platform and drivetrains as its five-seat CX-60 sibling. Yet, because the CX-80 lineup includes a Pure model not available in the CX-60 – and therefore, less standard equipment – it actually starts $5,600 lower than its smaller sibling.
Welcoming Mazda’s newest three-row SUV, Vinesh Bhindi, Managing Director of Mazda Australia, said: “The First-Ever, All-Hybrid CX-80 blends exceptional family comfort with everyday practicality.”
“The efficiency of Mazda’s hybrid technology in everyday driving is a big plus, and ample space for up to seven people – with abundant cargo capacity – makes the CX-80 ideal for family adventures.”
Essentially an extended CX-60 with either six- or seven-seats and slightly different front and rear styling, the Mazda CX-80 is smaller than the larger CX-70 and CX-90 and measures 4,990mm long – making it 250mm longer than a CX-60 but 130mm shorter than a CX-90 – and rides on the same 3,120mm long wheelbase as the CX-70 and CX-90.
The CX-80 is 1,890mm wide, identical to the CX-60, but slightly narrower than the 1,994mm wide CX-70 and CX-90. Behind the third row lies 258-litres of space, with opens to 566L with the third row folded and 1,971L with the second row folded as well.
Under the bonnet of the CX-80 are three engine options to anybody familiar with the CX-60, which are all mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel drive system. As with the CX-60, two 3.3-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder engines are available – a 209kW/450Nm petrol and a 187kW/550Nm diesel – that are both mated to a 48V mild-hybrid system. The petrol is rated at 8.4L/100km for combined fuel consumption and the diesel 5.2L/100km.
However, unlike the larger CX-70 and CX-90 for now, the CX-80 is also available with the same 2.5-litre four-cylinder plug-in hybrid system with a 17.8kWh battery as the CX-60 that makes the same 241kW/500Nm as in that car. Mazda claims that the CX-80 PHEV can travel up to 65km for electric-only driving – 11km less than the CX-60 – and is rated at a claimed 2.7L/100km on the combined fuel consumption cycle.
