Mazda wants to be premium and already knows what it has to do to achieve its goal. The proof of his good work we have known in two very recent and powerful novelties. With the CX-60, the Hiroshima firm gives the Old Continent the same as its Bavarian premium rivals: image, technology, safety and high quality. And it is not the only one that plays these tricks because the CX-90 equals it in the US. But the Mazda CX-80 has yet to debut…
Indeed. as you know, Mazda's SUV bet is divided into even names for Europe and odd names for the US. The first to see the light was the CX-60 and shortly after the CX-90 debuted. So in order not to break with the logical chain of launches The next one to see the light of day is the Mazda CX-80.. And if you thought that it was going to last forever, you are very wrong since the European manager of the brand has already said when it will debut.
The new Mazda CX-80 will debut at the end of this year 2023 and will be the European version of the recent CX-90…
In case you still did not know what the positioning of the new Mazda CX-80 is, we remind you. It is a large SUV that unlike the CX-60, it will bet on a cabin with more space and capacity for seven passengers. In fact, it will be based on the same propulsion platform that gives life to the older brother of the CX-5. And not only that, they will also share almost all of the mechanical offer, including the Plug-In Hybrid version.
In summary, It is the Europeanized version of the CX-90 as they will share the same approach. All in all, there will be a big difference between one and the other: the Yankee model has space for 8 passengers and the European will stay at 7. This is due to the fact that the CX-80 will have a narrower body as it will also end up being sold in your country: Japan. Regarding its bodywork, it will be greater than 4,75 meters and the wheelbase greater than 2,87 meters.
And after reading all this, surely you are wondering When does the CX-80 debut for Europe? Well, the head of the Old Continent of the Japanese house has indicated that it will be official before the year 2023 comes to an end. Therefore, it is likely that throughout the summer the teaser campaign will begin to go leaving in sight charms such as its bodywork or certain parts of its interior. So stay tuned for news...
