Verdict
At RM296,610, the Mazda CX-80 costs RM7,610 more than the RM289,000 Toyota Harrier. That gap buys six seats rather than five, all-wheel drive and a 17.8-kWh plug-in hybrid battery with 65 km of EV range. The Harrier counters with a far larger 396-litre boot against 258 litres, plus a 647-kg weight advantage. For a Malaysian household needing a third row and home or workplace charging, the Mazda has the broader brief; for five passengers and luggage, the Toyota is the tidier fit.
CX-80
Pick the Mazda CX-80 if you need six seats, all-wheel drive and a 65-km plug-in hybrid EV range.
Harrier
Pick the Toyota Harrier if a 396-litre boot, lower 1,695-kg kerb weight and five-seat use matter more than a third row.
