The all-new 2023 Mazda CX-80 has been confirmed, and we can expect it to debut next year. As far as we know, this model will be a 7-seater SUV, and it should share many cues with other CX models in the lineup. The more premium version of the existing CX-8, the CX-80, will reportedly increase luxury and style.
We also got information that it would ride on Mazda’s largest platform and that it should be available with a variety of 3.0-liter six-cylinder engines. So, we’re expecting the next-generation Blue Sky-X gasoline and diesel-powered engines and some of a mild-hybrid technology for improved fuel economy. Unfortunately, Mazda so far didn’t reveal any power figures.
2023 Mazda CX-80 First Look
The first renderings of the upcoming 2023 Mazda CX-80 are exposed, and the new SUV looks more stylish compared to the CX-8 model. The new model looks handsome, and it features an updated shield-shaped air intake grille with chrome-plated frames, and black grid.
The headlights of this SUV come with a new style design, and it adopts a double L-shaped daytime running lights. In general, the front face of the CX-80 looks very sporty, and we like the spike-like shape and the black decoration on the bottom of the car.
Interior Looks Very Comfortable
The new 2023 Mazda CX-80 is a medium-sized SUV that should come with the same layout as the bigger CX-90. This means we can expect it to offer a very comfortable cabin with three rows of seats and enough room for seven occupants.
As standard, this SUV will definitively offer at least infotainment setup of a 10.25-inch display, Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and six speakers. We also expect many standard safety systems as well. The current CX-8 include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.

As many Mazda models, the CX80 could use an existing 48V mild-hybrid technology, which should result in improved fuel economy. A plug-in system may also be available. Expect exact power figures and more information about engines to be available in the coming months or even sooner.

It will ride on the largest existing platform that also underpinning the upcoming CX-90 model. Unfortunately, at this moment, there is no available pricing of the CX-80 model. However, we assume that it will be in the range from $40,000 to $60,000, depending on trim levels.
