Mazda CX-80 Pure all-wheel-drive SUV – a little thirsty but great family carrier

Sunday, February 23, 2025 • Duration 01:30

Driving the relatively new Mazda CX-80 all-wheel drive SUV, the seven-seat
version of Mazda’s five-seat CX-60, I’m driving the entry CX-80 Pure, the most
affordable of the 10-model range at $54,950 plus on-road costs – the Pure has one
engine choice a 3.3-litre turbo petrol six-cylinder with 48-volt mild hybrid
assistance linked to an 8-speed automatic. The CX-80 replaces the long standing
CX-8 and CX-9 models. Certainly, its seven-passenger versatility is excellent, a
great family vehicle, nicely specified, spacious in the second row with five adults,
the turbo-petrol engine impressive with strong mid-range performance, but as a
rather heavy all-wheel drive a little thirsty on a strong throttle, I managed 11.8
L/100km, and thankfully it runs on 91 grade petrol. Suspension tune streets ahead
of the CX-60 I drove early last year which, after much criticism, Mazda Australia
did a re-work on later and the ride quality and handling on this new CX-80 is
vastly better. Gear shift quality on the early CX-60 has also been addressed and
obviously has carried over to the CX-80. A few gripes, Mazda prices have crept
up, while all models only get a tyre repair kit in lieu of a spare wheel. Warranty;
five-years/unlimited km. I’m David Berthon

Mazda CX-80 seven-seat all-wheel-drive SUV – spacious and versatile large SUV

Sunday, February 23, 2025 • Duration 01:31

Mazda now has a very comprehensive range of SUV’s – in addition to its best-selling mid-sized CX-5 it now offers four large SUV’s, the CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 andCX-90 – and one wonders if the four large SUV’s are overkill, the company first toadmit there is some overlap with buyers – The CX-80 IS basically a three-rowversion of the CX-60, available with three engine choices - an in-line six-cylinderpetrol or diesel or a four-cylinder plug in hybrid. There’s four available grades,Pure, Touring, GT and Azami, the entry Pure only gets the six-cylinder petrolengine while all models feature all-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic withmanual shift paddles. Importantly, the six-cylinder versions also include a 48-voltmild hybrid system. I drove the entry Mazda CX-80 Pure starting at $54,950 pluson-roads which gets 18-inch alloys, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ahead up display, black cloth trim, manual seat adjustment, three-zone climatecontrol air, a semi-digital instrument cluster, three drive modes and a full suite ofsafety equipment. Disappointingly, it lacks a wireless phone charger, a powertailgate, and a spare wheel – just a tyre repair kit inadequate in my view for afamily carrier with all-wheel-drive. Drive detail next.
