Mazda CX-8

The Mazda CX-8 is a three-row SUV that embodies the evolution of the Japanese brand towards spacious and versatile family vehicles since its launch in 2017. Positioned in the segment of seven-seat medium-sized SUVs, this model offers an elegant alternative to rivals such as the Toyota Highlander and Hyundai Santa Fe, combining refined design and energy efficiency characteristic of Mazda. The Mazda CX-8 story begins in Japan in 2017, where the manufacturer sought to fill the gap between its five-seat CX-5 and the growing need for spacious family vehicles in Asian and European markets. The first generation marked a turning point with its elongated silhouette, a sophisticated platform inherited from the CX-5 and diesel and petrol powertrains prioritizing economy, before a gradual arrival in Europe from 2019 onwards. Successive Mazda CX-8 generations distinguished themselves through refinements in exterior design and more luxurious interiors, notably with the introduction of advanced multimedia systems and safety technologies similar to those found in premium sedans. Today, the Mazda CX-8 model remains a coveted choice for families seeking space, comfort and quality finishes, while maintaining moderate fuel consumption thanks to Mazda's engine innovations and its Jinba Ittai philosophy. The CX-8 technical specifications reflect this balance with power outputs varying from 150 to 230 hp depending on the powertrain, generous dimensions for seven occupants and a clean styling signature that discreetly modernizes each new iteration.
