Volvo XC90 rival gets heightened practicality, class-leading towing capacity and a sportier chassis
Mazda is returning to the seven-seater market after a six-year absence with the CX-80, a luxurious new flagship SUV. Closely related to the CX-60, the CX-80 is the first three-row Mazda in Europe since the 5 MPV and the second model to use Mazda's Large Product Group platform. Compared with the CX-60, its wheelbase is 250mm longer and its rear roofline is 24mm taller.
Asked why Mazda has chosen to offer its new seven-seater with a pure-diesel option and no electric version, the company’s Europe R&D boss, Christian Schultze, said: “It is one of the opportunities to look at how customers live, and for us it was a logical extension and we think it is right. We are developing EVs for range, but we are not yet offering them because we have not yet found the final state of technology.
