Mazda’s latest design evolution deepens its distinctive Kodo philosophy, “Soul of Motion”. Retaining expressive vitality, this interpretation pursues greater prestige through the purity and elegance of minimalist Japanese design, where every detail has a purpose. Inspired by traditional Japanese artistry, from the space between forms to the play of light and shadow, Mazda’s design language reflects craftsmanship at its finest, brought to life by skilled designers and artisans.
Exterior Design
The Mazda CX-80’s exterior embodies the brand’s philosophy, capturing the essence of movement even at rest. Its elongated proportions, long wheelbase, short overhangs, and tapered cabin project commanding presence while conveying both performance and elegance. This architectural approach enhances the premium spatial experience of its three-row layout, maintaining the poised and refined aesthetic that is unmistakably Mazda.
The Mazda CX-80 exudes a quiet yet commanding presence, where every detail reflects its flagship status. Its elongated nose, sculpted grille, and adaptive LED headlamps highlight the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, while flowing surfaces and a strong shoulder line convey poise, stability, and refined craftsmanship. Subtle chrome accents and perfectly balanced proportions embody Mazda’s Japanese design philosophy, blending simplicity and precision into timeless elegance.
Viewed from the side, the CX-80 radiates effortless sophistication. Its stretched cabin and expansive side windows, framed by polished chrome, guide the eye along the body, while trim at the D-pillar hints at the third-row seating. Light dances across each surface, accentuating depth, richness, and the meticulous attention to detail that defines Mazda’s Takumi craftsmanship.

Slim adaptive LED headlamps integrate seamlessly into the sculpted fascia, reflecting Mazda’s philosophy. Refined chrome detailing and precision lens work highlight the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, while the clean, recognisable lighting signature reinforces the SUV’s confident, unmistakably Mazda identity.
Interior Design
Inside the Mazda CX-80, the cabin embodies a harmonious blend of craftsmanship, functionality, and understated elegance. Rooted in Mazda’s human-centric design approach and its Jinba-Ittai philosophy, symbolizing the oneness between car and driver, every detail is designed to foster a natural, intuitive connection. From the clean, horizontal dashboard layout to the perfectly placed controls, the interior layout enhances the sense of unity and control behind the wheel. The spacious three-row configuration offers generous comfort for all occupants, while premium materials, rich textures, and ambient lighting create a calm, inviting atmosphere that reflects Mazda’s commitment to driver and passenger experience alike.
By weaving in the dynamic play of light and the vitality of nature, the CX-80’s interior captures the Japanese aesthetic of ‘the beauty of tone’. Subtle white ambient lighting accentuates surfaces and reveals form, adding warmth and clarity to the space. Whether in the driver’s seat or the third row, the cabin is a sanctuary of thoughtful design, engineered not just to transport, but to create a feeling of connection and enrich every journey.
The CX-80 exudes understated luxury with its 6-seater configuration, where second row passengers are treated to individual captain style seats divided by a full-length centre console that adds both presence and practicality. The third row features a generously sized two-person bench, ensuring every occupant travels in comfort. Rich materials, refined textures, and ambient lighting set a calming tone throughout the cabin, while thoughtful details such as integrated storage, discreet cup holders, and convenient access to climate control and charging ports reflect a meticulous approach to comfort. From the high-quality upholstery to the precise craftsmanship, every detail is designed to enhance long journeys and deliver a truly sophisticated driving experience.
Building on this sense of refinement, the Mazda CX-80 advances the brand’s commitment to human centric design with an evolved Human Machine Interface (HMI) that delivers intuitive control, minimal distraction, and a more connected driving experience. Rooted in Mazda’s Jinba-Ittai philosophy, the interface is engineered to support natural driver interaction while enhancing safety and comfort on every journey.
The system features three primary displays: a 12.3-inch digital multi-information meter, a 12.3-inch centre infotainment display, and an Active Driving Display (Head-Up Display). Together, they provide clear, real-time information, including driving assist visuals, warning alerts, and Mi-Drive mode graphics. These displays also work in tandem with the Driver Personalization System, a new feature introduced in Mazda’s Large Architecture Platform models, which automatically recognizes the driver and adjusts over 250 settings such as seat and steering wheel position, mirrors, and the Head-Up Display. With dynamic start-up sequences, enhanced visual prompts, and a tailored driving environment, the system keeps key information in clear view while ensuring every journey begins in comfort, confidence, and full driver focus.
The CX-80 is equipped with Mazda’s 360˚ View Monitor with See-Through View technology which makes navigating through city streets and narrow spaces less stressful. This allows a bird’s-eye perspective of the vehicle’s surroundings during manoeuvres. The See-Through View features guidelines that assist in precise parking and obstacle detection.
The CX-80 offers seamless smartphone connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving drivers easy access to apps, music and navigation without the need for cables. A built-in wireless charging pad keeps devices powered throughout the journey, helping maintain a clean, clutter free cabin. Designed with ease of use in mind, Mazda’s intuitive interface allows smooth transitions between functions and personalised settings, making every interaction feel natural and refined.
Elevating this connected experience is a premium 12-speaker Bose sound system that surrounds every occupant with detailed, high-fidelity audio. Whether enjoying a solo drive or sharing music with passengers, the CX-80 delivers an immersive listening environment that blends convenience with emotional resonance, reflecting Mazda’s dedication to craftsmanship and human centric design.
Powertrain & Driving Dynamics
At the heart of the Mazda CX-80 lies the brand’s sophisticated Large Architecture Platform, built on Mazda’s Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture. This innovative foundation not only enhances driving dynamics and refinement but also makes it possible to integrate Mazda’s latest Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) technology.
Powered by the advanced 2.5L e-Skyactiv PHEV system, which pairs a Skyactiv-G 2.5-litre four-cylinder direct-injection petrol engine producing 189 hp and 261 Nm of torque with a high-output electric motor delivering 172 hp and 270 Nm. Energy for the motor comes from a high-capacity 17.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, enabling responsive performance with improved efficiency and lower emissions.
Refined to perfection, the intake system is meticulously tuned to optimise torque in the most efficient manner. Together, the engine and electric motor deliver a combined output of 323 hp and 500 Nm of torque. This electrified powertrain propels the CX-80 to a maximum speed of 195 km/h, while offering up to 65 km of pure electric, zero-emission driving. It also achieves an exceptional WLTP-combined fuel consumption of just 1.6 l/100 km and CO₂ emissions of only 36 g/km.
Together, these attributes create the perfect balance of responsive performance, remarkable efficiency, and the freedom to enjoy both quiet, zero-emission city journeys and confident long-distance travel.
Built on Mazda’s front-engine, rear-focused all-wheel-drive Large Architecture Platform, the CX-80 delivers an engaging balance of precision, stability, and comfort that truly embodies Mazda’s Jinba-Ittai philosophy. The platform’s optimised weight distribution and low centre of gravity inspire confidence on every corner, while a rigid body structure sharpens handling and smooths out the ride. Designed with driver and passenger well-being in mind, the innovative seat structure provides excellent support, reducing fatigue on long journeys and enhancing the vehicle’s overall quietness and serenity.
The CX-80’s advanced suspension setup features double wishbones at the front and a multi-link system at the rear, tuned to deliver a harmonious blend of sharp steering precision and composed ride comfort across varied road surfaces. Complementing this is Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD system, which continuously monitors road conditions to optimise torque distribution for enhanced grip and stability. Kinematic Posture Control further refines cornering balance by subtly adjusting brake force to individual wheels, reducing body roll and maintaining composure through every twist and turn. Driver aids like Hill Descent Control (HDC) and regenerative braking enhance safety while also boosting efficiency by capturing energy during deceleration.
To suit every driving mood and condition, Mazda’s Mi-Drive system offers selectable modes that adjust throttle response, steering feel, and transmission behaviour. Combined with meticulous sound insulation and chassis tuning, the CX-80 provides a serene, quiet cabin where drivers can fully appreciate its dynamic capabilities and feel truly connected to the road.
