Overview
editThe Mazda CX-80 was officially revealed on 18 April 2024, with pre-sales of the CX-80 set to commence in May 2024 and deliveries set to follow in the second half of the year.[3][4]
The CX-80 shares the same front fascia from the CX-60. Other exterior differences compared to the CX-60 are stretched side windows with redesigned window mouldings, the addition of roof rails, and a redesigned rear bumper without the faux exhaust pieces which is hidden behind the bumper.[4][5]
The interior of the CX-80 is similar to the CX-60 and has the same features, such as the Driver Personalisation System. The driver's cockpit features the three main displays: a full TFT-LCD driver's instrument cluster, a window head-up display (HUD) and a 12.3-inch Mazda Connect centre display can be operated only through a "command control'' knob.[4] Other features found in the CX-80 are Hybrid Navigation combines both offline and online navigation, Alexa Voice Control, rear door sunshades (a first for a Mazda in Europe), and a Trailer Hitch View (debuted in the CX-80) which uses the reversing camera to make it convenient to attach a trailer.[4][5]
The CX-80 will have option between the 7-seater and 6-seater configurations. The 6-seater configuration version replaces the second-row bench seat with individual captain seats, with the option to have either an open walk-through space or a centre console between the seats.[5]
