Is Mazda Cx 8 A Good Car

A mid-life update for the Mazda CX-8 sees subtle changes, but it remains a surprisingly good seven. Models with strong reliability ratings include the Mazda 2 small hatchback and CX-5 family SUV, especially in petrol form. In contrast, the CX.

The Mazda CX-8 has long lived in its CX-9 big-sister's vast shadow, but some smart additions have turned the Japanese seven-seater SUV's fortunes around. Case in point: the Touring SP. It combines low pricing, generous equipment, ample space and proven engineering with newfound sporty styling and keen driver appeal.

The result is an appealing family car that ought to be on most buyers' shortlist. The CX-8 will depart Mazda showrooms soon, depriving Australia of another compelling, diesel. The updated Mazda CX-8 still has an important role to play as the company's cheapest seven.

This is Mazda's new seven-seater flagship SUV, the CX-80. It's essentially a long-wheelbase (by 250mm) version of the CX. I've tested a few Kia Sorento's and I think it's the best seven-seater family SUV for under $100,000.

However, Mazda threw me the keys to the latest CX. Australia's SUV market is overcrowded, just like Mazda's SUV line-up. So why does CX-8 exist? It makes a value proposition, but is not perfect.

But why this seven-seater is worth your time and money? The Mazda CX-8 is a large, 7-seat SUV with high-quality interior and a seriously good price without a cost compromise on prestige worth of a German SUV. Here's why it's probably better than the CX-9 SUVs are the most popular new car category in Australia, sure.
