Chronology
PredecessorMazda CX-7

The Mazda CX-8 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Mazda since the end of 2017.[5] It is a long wheelbase (LWB) version of the second generation CX-5.[6] First unveiled on 14 September 2017, the CX-8 is Mazda's flagship SUV in Japan, as the larger CX-9 is not sold in the country.[7] Outside of Japan, the CX-8 is available in Australia,[8] Malaysia,[9] and China.[2]

Overview

While bearing a striking resemblance to the second generation CX-9, the CX-8 is 17 cm shorter in length and 13 cm narrower in width to conform to Japanese roads. Within a few weeks after its introduction in Japan, Mazda dealers received over 12,000 orders from consumers.[7]

The CX-8 was initially offered only with a 2.2 L SKYACTIV-D diesel engine, but a choice of two I4 petrol engines was added in 2018: a 2.5 L SKYACTIV-G (PY-VPS) from the CX-5 and a turbocharged version of the same engine from the CX-9.[10]

Reception

Marton Pettendy of Motoring gave the CX-8 a rating of 84 out of 100, praising the quality and refinement, performance and economy, and diesel power for less than the CX-9, but criticizing the tight rear head/leg room, sub par warranty and service intervals, and the lack of a spare tire and CarPlay.[11]

Malcolm Flynn of Carsguide.com.au rated the car 8.1. out of 10, praising its ease of parking compared to the CX-9, more useful trunk space than the CX-5, and its comfortable ride, but criticizing its lack of a petrol engine and CarPlay, and the steep price jump between the Sport and Asaki trims.[12]

Paul Maric of CarAdvice gave the car a rating of 7.9 out of 10, calling it a "compelling proposition for families that need the extra space of an occasional third row and the fuel economy of a diesel engine."[13]
