Mazda has unveiled its largest and most advanced SUV to date, the CX-80, at an exclusive preview held at the Mandala Club.
Positioned as the brand’s flagship model in Singapore, the seven-seater SUV marks a significant milestone for Mazda, being the first in its local lineup to feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The CX-80 is part of Mazda’s Large Product Group and stands out with its commanding dimensions.
Measuring 5 metres in length, 1.89 metres in width, and with a wheelbase of 3.1 metres, it is designed to cater to families seeking spaciousness and comfort.
Notably, the last row of seats can accommodate passengers up to 1.6 metres tall, making it practical for both children and adults.
Mazda has equipped the CX-80 with a range of advanced features that enhance both driver convenience and passenger comfort.
Highlights include a 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Display and a heads-up ‘Active Driving Display,’ ensuring essential information is always within the driver’s view.
The infotainment system, also displayed on a 12.3-inch screen, supports wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto as standard.
One of the standout innovations is the Driver Personalisation System, which uses facial recognition to store seat positions for up to six different profiles.
The system can even adjust the seat to an optimal height based on the driver’s eye level and includes Entry Assist for easier ingress and egress.
Other features include wireless charging, multiple USB-C ports, a premium 12-speaker Bose audio system, and three-zone climate control.
Rear passengers benefit from dedicated air vents, ensuring a comfortable journey for all occupants.
The CX-80’s plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 323bhp and 500Nm of torque.
Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the SUV accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds.
As a plug-in hybrid, its 17.8kWh battery offers a pure electric driving range of up to 60km under ideal conditions.
The CX-80 is set to make its public debut at the Singapore Motor Show in January 2025. Officially priced at $376,888, Mazda is offering a special pre-launch price of $328,888, providing early buyers with a compelling incentive.
