The Mazda CX-80 will make its debut on April 18 as the fourth SUV to be part of the carmaker’s Large Product group, joining other models like the CX-60, CX-70 and CX-90 which have already been revealed.
Pre-sales of the CX-80 will start in May this year, with the SUV set to arrive in dealerships in the autumn. According to Mazda, the CX-80 will become the new flagship in the region, slotting in above the CX-60.
The CX-80 is a three-row SUV that has two folding seats in the third row and a choice of three second-row configurations. The latter includes an option for two separate captain chairs combined with a centre console, creating a 2-2-3 layout as an alternative to a 2-3-3 one.
The CX-80 will also be a big vehicle with an overall length of almost five metres and a wheelbase that is well over three metres. For context, the CX-60 measures 4,745 mm long, 1,890 mm wide, 1,680 mm tall and has a wheelbase spanning 2,870 mm. The greater differentiation is noteworthy considering the CX-70 and CX-90 share the same wheelbase of 3,119 mm, with only separate bumper designs to tell them apart.
Based on the teasers provided, the CX-80 will look noticeably different compared to the CX-60 by having a stretched and more upright rear, along with a redesigned greenhouse. We can also spot thick chrome trim around the rear side windows, although the taillights look similar.
Like its siblings, the CX-80 will ride on the Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture with a front-engine longitudinal layout and rear-wheel drive. As such, it should mirror the CX-60’s powertrain options, including a plug-in hybrid option based on the additional fuel cap on one of the rear fenders. The CX-80 is the replacement for the CX-8 and CX-9 which ended production (for selected markets) in 2023.

Look at all the chrome slapped on in a tasteless fashion. Was this car designed in China, or targeted for the China market?
We Americans crave for chrome vanity more than the chinese.
Kodo this, kodo that, japanese designers lacking of ideas and innovation. Looks so 80s with that front look.
Meanwhile, Bermaz busy not upgrading those decade old infotainment screens even on their latest facelift models. If at all if this comes to Malaysia it will be in the next decade or later, thank you Bermaz for screwing up Mazda in Malaysia
You can only dream for this car to arrive in good specs. Well look at CX-5.. facelift arrived after 2 years with outdated infotainment screen that looks like a cartoon with that outdated OS and small lousy rims compared to other markets. Still no BOSE speakers and sunroof too. What a disappointment. I thought CX-5 is their hot selling models, why give such lousy specs though? want untung so much is it?
