Mazda’s newest and most accessible seven-seat family SUV – the First-Ever, All-Hybrid Mazda CX-80 – is ready to join the brand’s range, developed and specified to offer Australian families genuine SUV practicality, sophisticated technology and exceptional value for money.

The exterior design concept of the Mazda CX-80 is ‘Graceful Toughness’, which blends SUV utility with the intelligence and elegance that underpins Mazda’s ‘Kodo – Soul of Motion’ design language.

The spacious and luxurious seven-seat cabin is a showcase of craftsmanship, comfort and flexibility. 

Customers will have three highly efficient engine choices when the CX-80 goes on sale this month. The CX-80 PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) headlines the powertrain range. It delivers up to 241 kW of power and a maximum torque of 500 Nm by combining its 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine with a 129 kW electric motor, which is powered by a 17.8 kWh Lithium ion battery. An electric-only range of up to 65km is available, and charging from 20 to 80 per cent at the maximum 7.2 kW AC rate takes as little as 90 minutes.
