THERE PROBABLY WON’T BE too many surprises when Mazda reveals its large SUV, the CX-80 in a couple of days, but you won’t get any hints from the single teaser image they’ve sent out.
The new, three-row CX-80 SUV is the fourth model to be engineered on Mazda’s sophisticated Large Architecture platform.
Crafted in Japan, the Mazda CX-80 combines comfort, convenience and versatility with ample space for up to seven occupants.
At almost five metres long and with a wheelbase of over three metres, the CX-80 is longer, higher and has a significantly longer wheelbase than the popular CX-60. It will slot neatly into the latest flagship Mazda Australia SUV line-up, already comprising the CX-60, CX-90 and forthcoming CX-70.
Its progressive design is anchored in Japanese aesthetics. Superior technology and convenient features such as the suite of intuitive Mazda Connected Services, as well as the signature ‘Jinba Ittai’ driving performance delivered by every Mazda, form part of its DNA.
In conjunction with two-fold-flat third row seats, the CX-80 will be available with two second row configurations – either a three-seat layout or two luxurious captain seats with the addition of a useful centre console.
The global reveal takes place on April 18.
