2019 Mazda CX8

The 2019 Mazda CX-8 is a premium three-row SUV that serves as the more maneuverable and fuel-efficient sibling to the larger CX-9. Designed with Mazda's "KODO: Soul of Motion" philosophy, it features a sleek, elongated profile and a sophisticated front grille that gives it an upscale, executive appearance. Unlike many boxy seven-seaters, the CX-8 prioritizes a car-like driving experience, utilizing a refined chassis that provides exceptional stability and comfort for long-distance cruising or navigating urban environments. Internally, the cabin is a hallmark of Mazda’s "human-centric" design, offering a near-luxury experience with high-quality materials and an intuitive layout. It is available in both six and seven-seat configurations, with the six-seater version often featuring luxurious center captain’s chairs in the second row. The 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D twin-turbo diesel engine is the standout feature of this model, providing substantial torque for effortless overtaking and towing, while maintaining impressive fuel economy that is rare for a vehicle of its size. This makes it an ideal choice for families who need extra seating capacity without wanting to sacrifice style or driving dynamics.
