2020 Mazda CX‑8

The Mazda CX‑8 Skyactiv‑D is a mid‑size, three‑row SUV that elegantly blends Mazda’s “Kodo” design language with premium build quality and family practicality. It’s powered solely by a 2.2 L twin‑turbo diesel engine producing 450 Nm, mated to a smooth 6‑speed automatic and available in front‑wheel and all‑wheel‑drive variants. The spacious cabin, available in six‑ or seven‑seat layouts, features sophisticated materials such as Nappa leather, power-adjustable and heated seats, tri‑zone climate control, an 8‑inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and an abundance of USB ports throughout. Premium trims add extras like a panoramic sunroof, heated second‑row seats, wireless charging, and a surround‑view camera. From a safety standpoint, the CX‑8 is equipped with Mazda i‑Activsense technology, including blind‑spot monitoring, lane‑keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, Smart City Brake Support (front and rear), and rear‑cross traffic alert.
