Mazda CX-80: engines, hybrid and trims
Mazda CX-80 — the largest Mazda SUV sold in Europe, launched in 2024. It comes with either six or seven seats, a six-cylinder diesel engine and a plug-in hybrid. We look at the variants and what you need to know before buying.
CX-80 in brief
The CX-80 is a large SUV, around 5 metres long, built on the CX-60 platform. It's designed for families needing more space than the CX-60 or CX-5, with a cabin that can accommodate either six or seven passengers.
Mazda aims for a sense of luxury: plenty of natural materials, high-quality surfaces and a quiet cabin. As the model is new, the supply of used cars is still small, and mileages are low.
Versions and interior
The six-seat version has separate second-row seats with a central walkthrough, while the seven-seat has a wide second-row bench. The third-row seats are best suited to children or shorter adults.
Before buying, check the specific interior configuration of the car in question.
Engines and transmission
The 3.3-litre e-Skyactiv D is an inline six-cylinder diesel engine with a mild hybrid, offered in two power outputs — around 200 and 250 hp. It's usually paired with all-wheel drive.
The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) uses a 2.5-litre petrol engine, electric motor and battery, with a combined power output of around 330 hp, and an electric-only range of several tens of kilometres. All variants have an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
What to check when buying a used CX-80
Request the car's service history and check if software update procedures have been carried out. You can verify with the manufacturer's dealership if all mandatory technical campaigns have been performed on the vehicle.
For hybrid owners, it's useful to check if the charging system works and if the battery has no faults. For diesel-engined cars, note if it has been driven mostly on short trips, as they need longer journeys to clean the particulate filter.

Yes, six- and seven-seater versions are available. The third row is better suited to children.
