Benefits of the 7-Seat Mazda CX-80 for Australian Families

It was conceived in Japan and road tested in Germany, but the 7-seat all-hybrid Mazda CX-80 is made for the Australian market. And it’s perfect for Australian families. 

In October 2024, Mazda hosted the global first drive of its 7-seat all-hybrid CX-80 in Augsburg, Germany. Filling the gap in the market left by the now-defunct CX-8 and CX-9, this SUV wound its way through the roads of neighbouring Munich, casting a dazzling impression that showcased Mazda’s ‘Soul of Motion’ at its best. Yet as much as the CX-80 impressed with its elegance and luxury, one of its most distinctive qualities is how family-friendly it is. 

Obviously, it’s a spacious vehicle, with seven seats arranged in a three-row format, but that’s not the only thing that makes it stand out. With its safety features, high degree of comfort and advanced entertainment options, it’s one of the best new cars in Brisbane money can buy.

Aspley Mazda offers new and used cars in Brisbane to suit all requirements and price points, including Mazda’s entire new vehicle range. Here is our guide to the most family-friendly advantages of the Mazda CX-80.

Options galore

The Mazda CX-80 comes in a range of variants. The CX-80 Pure is the entry-level edition and the most affordable of the whole range, and it’s a pure mild hybrid with a 3.3-litre turbo petrol engine. The Touring models have all the features of the Pure plus additions like leather seats with power adjustments and remote-operated power tailgates. The GT comes with 20-inch black metallic alloy wheels and a panoramic sunroof, while the Azami has Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS) plus a heated steering wheel and seats. With entertainment, safety and comfort options consistent across all styles, it really does come down to which one suits your needs best. 

Advanced safety features

Features of the CX-80 to keep you and your family safe include:

• Eight airbags standard across the whole range. 
• Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) including cross-traffic detection. 
• Adaptive cruise control.
• Blind spot alert.
• Lane Assistance. 
• Front and rear sensors and a front/rear/360-degree camera on each model. 
• A rear-biased all-wheel drive system that improves traction on slippery roads. 

Ultimate comfort

The CX-80 has a roomy interior, measuring 4990mm long overall between the wheelbase. The higher the grade, the more supple and plush-like the leather, with nappa leather on the top-of-the-line Azami range. Heating and a power-adjustable column are standard features of the steering wheel across the range. From the Touring model upward, all seats have heating and power adjustment. 

With a spacious interior that seats up to seven passengers, the CX-80 is well-suited to long car journeys. An already generous 258 litres of space becomes 687 litres with the third row folded down. All in all, there’s plenty of room for the whole family including the kids, their friends and other relatives, as well as for your luggage when you’re taking a family weekend away. 

Entertainment options to please everyone

Every variant of the Mazda CX-80 is fitted with both wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Audio, as well as satellite navigation, Bluetooth and AM / FM / Digital DAB+ radio capabilities. Operating on the new Mazda Connect infotainment software, these systems run on the 10.25-inch non-touch infotainment screen in the Pure and Touring models and the 12.3-inch touchscreen in the GT and Azami. The higher models come with a 12-speaker Bose stereo system for superior sound quality. Whatever model you choose, the entertainment set-up is sure to keep the whole family entertained on long trips. 

Special features

Other features of this 7-seater model that stand out include:

• USB-C charging ports so the whole family can charge their devices on long trips. 
• Fuel efficiency and a stable and refined driving experience. 
• Includes Mazda’s five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
• Different varieties of engine available including the sporty turbocharged petrol six-cylinder, the turbo-diesel and the plug-in hybrid variant. 
• 8-speed multi-clutch automatic transmission.
