The 2025 Mazda CX-80, a new addition to Mazda’s SUV lineup, is set to hit Australian showrooms this month. This elongated seven-seat model, based on the CX-60 but with an extra row of seating, offers a choice of petrol, diesel, or plug-in hybrid powertrains. With prices starting under $55,000 before on-road costs, the CX-80 is positioned to cater to families seeking versatility and comfort in their vehicles.
Featuring an inline-six petrol engine, a diesel option, and a plug-in hybrid variant, the Mazda CX-80 will be available in four trim levels: Pure, Touring, GT, and Azami. Each variant offers a unique set of features and technology, catering to different preferences and needs of potential buyers. The CX-80’s design and dimensions reflect a balance between European styling for the CX-80 and North American market preferences for the CX-70.
Despite some overlap in the lineup with the CX-60, CX-70, and CX-90 models, Mazda believes that each model appeals to distinct customer segments, minimizing the risk of cannibalizing sales. The CX-80’s dimensions place it between the CX-60 and CX-90 in terms of size, offering ample space for passengers and cargo while maintaining a manageable footprint on the road.
The pricing for the Mazda CX-80 starts at $54,950 for the entry-level Pure variant, making it an attractive option for those looking for a well-equipped SUV at a competitive price point. The Pure trim level comes with a range of standard features, including advanced safety technologies and connectivity options, ensuring a comfortable and secure driving experience.
As buyers move up the trim levels to Touring, GT, and Azami, they gain access to additional luxury and convenience features, such as premium upholstery, larger infotainment screens, advanced audio systems, and enhanced driver assistance systems. The range-topping Azami trim level offers top-of-the-line amenities, including ventilated seats, advanced safety features, and a personalized driving experience.
Under the hood, the Mazda CX-80 offers a choice of powertrains, including a turbocharged inline-six petrol engine, a diesel option, and a plug-in hybrid setup. These powertrains deliver a balance of performance and efficiency, catering to different driving preferences and environmental concerns. With all-wheel drive and advanced transmission systems, the CX-80 promises a smooth and responsive driving experience across various road conditions.
With the launch of the Mazda CX-80, Mazda aims to fill the gap left by the discontinuation of the CX-8, offering a compelling seven-seat SUV option for Australian buyers. The CX-80’s combination of versatility, technology, and design is poised to make it a popular choice among families and individuals seeking a premium SUV experience.
As the 2025 Mazda CX-80 prepares to make its debut in Australia, it represents Mazda’s commitment to innovation and customer-centric design in the competitive SUV market. With its blend of performance, comfort, and technology, the CX-80 is set to make a strong impression on discerning SUV buyers looking for a reliable and stylish vehicle.
