New Mazda SUV prioritises comfort (Mazda CX-80 PHEV 2025 review)

[@jeremybean-hodges6397]

If you threw photos of the CX-60, 70, 80 and 90 into a hat, and asked me to guess which one I had picked out, I would get it right roughly 25% of the time.

[@lanla6838z]

Because it's the save car up to the middle column.

[@anthonywarry]

Lucky they look decent then.

[@nicoenrik]

There is a button on the left side of the steerinwheel, to turn off all warning sounds with just one press.

[@nidospartan5393]

Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

[@chowweihsien358]

When it comes to describing the ride quality, you are the best in the explanations and details. Most reviewers would just give a rather vague descriptions

[@boudewijn-]

Finally someone with the phev in review

[@lorenzo22222]

Great review. Where's yhe mustache guy?

[@Fastwunz]

that interior gives BMW a serious run for its money

[@YZinAus]

Is the 2.5L petrol engine on this plus-in hybrid the same one on CX-8 FWD model?

[@steffenoh]

Yes

[@lanla6838z]

In Japan the grill has three chrome stripes to differentiate from the 60.

[@One-Two_swift-kickbox]

How much data logging do they share?

[@DarkWildSaison]

Why a different trim and color in the thumbnail?

[@Freesoul999]

Can anybody advise How is the overall technology of the car? Adaptive cruise, lane control, front car warning etc? Any advice on how to maintain the low fuel consumption?

[@random.totally]

The only thing that bothers me for my old CX-9 is, there is no door lock and unlock button, I have to unlock the door using the big old fashion button on the door.....Does Mazda change the design giving you the Lock/Unlock button now?

[@PlaAwa]

good review

Its crazy, for what they build 4 versions? One long one short is more then enough for all markets. This are double costs from everything. Same with inside colors, i would wish i could buy the red leather inside in EU

[@anubizz3]

They want to become the new Nissan of old.. Build so many identical product that cannibalise each other sales..

[@steffenoh]

The north American market wants lager vehicles

[@anubizz3]

@@steffenoh Good luck for Mazda, Mazda customers already voting with their wallet, half year sales for cx-5 is 12000 while cx 60 1800. Once their single digit model gone they screwed. Even lexus nx out sell them. Mazda completely forgot what make them popular.

[@thehuonpine]

I think the CX80 is not competitive to the Toyota Kluger to win more sale in the market. Mazda or others should focus filling the gap in the market by coming up with a more off-road capable SUV a bit bigger and more powerful than the Suzuki Jimny, this is what the market needs right now!

[@joscdf]

What happened to Tom?

[@rubyred8845]

It's great that Mazda has updated the interiors and made this one more modern. I don't like the thick and small control screen it should be larger and more sleek.

[@maribogukun]

Cx-60 is infamous in Japan now due to the harsh ride and so many issues. You can get a cheap second hand one as there are basically a lot of supply is sitting in dealer lots. I assume the cx-80 Will Be the same

[@billybob1511]

What are the other issues besides the ride?

[@norita6240]

Quality issues with mainly suspension, transmission, and computer programs in general. More than 9 recalls and some 15 service campaigns since its launch in November 2022. Owners are having to take their car to the dealer for some fix every other month at least. Many CX60 users are frustrated here saying that Mazda is using its customers as debug test drivers and are mystified about the fact that CX60 seems to be selling OK outside Japan. Yes many people have sold their CX60 with hardly any mileage on them and there are hundreds of cheap secondhand CX60s on the market.

[@Freesoul999]

88k for PHEV GT eith so little tech as compare to Korean car is not good. But no other 7 seater PHEV is available. I won't call Mitsubishi Outlander a 7 seater!

[@fademan77]

I've ordered one - delivery soon - can't wait!

[@MarthaMansbridge]

Why? By giving you ultimate choice?

[@Raturidesagain]

Faint praise indeed!! Mazda gotta sort their transmission and ride issues out!!

[@NZsarge1]

There is a lot to like about they new Mazda’s but it’s unfortunate and very un-mazda like in under developed chassis’s.

[@dsinghr]

They have had so many recalls. We need to wait for next gen

[@amitmou2009]

This or chinese electric suv, with all the bells and whistles and $20k - $25k AUD less in price with 7-10 yr warranty ? 🤔

[@PlaAwa]

no such thing as a free lunch. also... taiwan

[@amitmou2009]

@PlaAwa what does Taiwan have to do with this ? The only risk is that in the short term the ev market is dominated by Chinese manufacturers until the theblikes of Hyundai Toyota and Mazda catch up..

[@PlaAwa]

​@@amitmou2009 it's just apples to oranges on multiple levels. 'catch up' incorrectly implies that mazda's on the same trajectory as chinese ev manufacturers, or even thinks that ev is the right direction to go in at the moment, or something to strive towards. it's been proven to be premature ejaculation, hence the reversal in decision by most reputable manufactures, even volvo, iirc. hyundai and toyota are already miles ahead of the chinese startups. unless you're talking about bringing ev's to the end user for a much lower price, but some slave pays for it on their behalf. we don't do that in the west and shouldn't condone or support it.... or any country in general with a dubious human rights record or malevolent intentions. we should stop being ignorant and vote with our wallets instead of just trying to get the best bargain we can find. i wouldn't trust the quality or safety either and don't even ask about surveillance and back doors. or anything that can be activated/deactivated later, during wartime.

[@Bear-wj1mc]

Very well said, I absolutely agree with everything you said. Unfortunately Australians only look at the price and not at the overall purchase experience. Not to mention the way the Chinese Government imposed trade restrictions on Australian suppliers, as a petty pay back for speaking out about COVID and other Human rights violations. Plus not CONDONING Russia's Invasion of the SOVEREIGN state of Ukraine ! I might add, I've nothing against the Chinese people, but the same can't be said about the ruling Government at the moment ! There's more to purchasing a vehicle than PRICE alone !

[@PlaAwa]

​@@Bear-wj1mc true, that's why MG's doing so well. I bet there are a bunch of aussies who still think it's a british brand. the chinese are shrewd business people, gotta give 'em props for that. Unfortunately, their strictly ideologically-driven politics and lack of opposition sets them 'resolutely' on rails to achieve their ancient aims with blinkers on. Regrettably there are far too many nations not condemning russia and i think it's partly because they empathise and sypathise with putler and believe his fears to be legit, which they very well could be. the paranoid delusions of authoritarians, ay? they put themselves into positions where they have to constantly watch their backs and then justify stupid decisions they make. all the garbage and evil is focused and concentrated at the tip top. I've also been wondering why Israel hasn't really made any official condemnation or offered to supply arms and money to ukraine but they're also a nation at war. Like Ukraine, they've had to suspend 'democracy' due to the emergency situation they're in. So, in Ukraine, they've still got some conscription going on, and no regular elections with limited office-terms. Israel has a large russian jew population too, so maybe that has something to do with it. But good to see hamas, hezbollah and the houthis gettin' smoked, while tootless iran struggles to make any further threats of retaliation.

[@Popito84]

Touchscreens are trash, buttons are best.

[@thehuonpine]

The problem is Mazda make them all look the same and people would just pick the cheapest CX-60 and CX80 and make CX90 redundant!

[@stizzygrayson5541]

Sadly Mazda has gone down the drain as a brand. The launch of the cx60 and cx90 was a huge opportunity that they sadly blew

[@PlaAwa]

please explain

[@dirkbabka1324]

Mazdas are Junk Period , My Least Fav Japanese Car

[@HaruHaruman]

I disagree, they build so far better vehicles than Honda or Nissan. Mazda's biggest problem is that they are just ridiculously overpriced so I would never buy one in my right mind.

[@PiriakaTrackwrecker]

How so? I have a 22 Mazda 3 as my work car, I'm a fan. No issues, great interior and features, cool paint colours and exterior design, great reliability reputation, overall big upgrade compared to the Corolla most of my colleagues have (several have asked to swap). I even love the dial based screen, easier to use than my wife's XV once you're across the shortcuts. What's not to love?

[@eponymous7910]

I like them but generally the packaging is heavily compromised

[@holidayusa098]

Hyundai Santa Fe is much better

[@Bear-wj1mc]

@@holidayusa098 oh dear That would have to be the ugliest rear end design I've seen in a very long time. The problem with Hyundai and to a lesser extent Kia is they are way too overwhelming with their current designs. Look at the placement of the rear lights, way too low ! It makes it nearly impossible to see the indicators when travelling from behind !

[@_chipchip]

The rear is the main reason I wouldn’t consider one.

[@TheAfruman]

The motor is shit in Europe

[@CYC_JP]

You are saying 1.6L 4 cylinder turbo is much better than a 3.3L inline 6 turbo. What are you smoking?

[@TheAfruman]

@@CYC_JP PHEV is 2.5L inside Mazda, but its much better then the 1.6 from Hyundai. I tested both

[@koddesa]

It's just another boring Mazda SUV. Nothing special.

[@HaruHaruman]

Great car and love the interuor but just so rdiculously overpriced.
