et ready for Mazda's latest addition to its SUV line up! The upcoming Mazda CX-80, a seven-seat SUV, has been caught on camera during testing in Europe. Serving as a slightly smaller counterpart to the flagship CX-90, this new model aims to fill the gap left by the outgoing CX-9 and compete against popular rivals like the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe.
The camouflaged photos of the CX-80 reveal Mazda's signature styling in a fresh and distinctive size. Inside the SUV, we can expect the presence of two 12.3-inch screens and Mazda's well-known rotary dial for convenient infotainment controls.
While specific engine details are yet to be confirmed, Mazda is likely to offer a range of choices, including mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, four-cylinder, and six-cylinder options. This variety will cater to different driving preferences and provide a balance of power and efficiency.
The CX-80, along with its larger sibling, the CX-90, will replace the current CX-9 seven-seat SUV. The CX-9 will be discontinued later this year, marking the end of its successful 15-year run as a prominent name plate in the Australian market.
Anticipation is high for the arrival of the 2024 Mazda CX-80, offering a compelling combination of style, functionality, and Mazda's renowned driving dynamics. Stay tuned for more updates as we eagerly await its official showroom debut.
