The CX-80 flagship doesn’t come cheap, with the Azami trim setting you back $74,150 (petrol), $76,150 (diesel) and $87,200 (plug-in hybrid).
Like the GT and Touring trims, you can have your Azami with a choice of three powertrains, with the cheapest being a 3.3-litre, six-cylinder turbo petrol, producing 209kW and 450Nm. There's also a 3.3-litre, six-cylinder turbo diesel, making 187kW and 550Nm. Both are equipped with a 48-volt mild hybrid system to marginally reduce fuel use.
Finally, there's a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain that pairs a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with an electric motor for a total 241kW and 500Nm.
The PHEV claims 2.7L per 100km combined, but those numbers – as they are with all plug-in hybrids – are nonsense in the real world. Still, the PHEV will deliver an electric driving range of 65km, and will take some 90 minutes to recharge its 17.8kWh battery via 7.4kW AC charging.
The PHEV has a 70-litre tank, while the ICE models step up to a 74-litre capacity. Theoretically, that means the petrol can travel 880km on a single tank, while the diesel will carry you more than 1400km.
All models are AWD, though Mazda points out each is "rear-biased" for a sportier feel, and paired with an eight-speed automatic.
There is comfortable seating for seven, and at the boot, you'll find 258 litres (VDA) with all three rows in place, 566 litres in five-seat mode, and a massive 1971 litres with the two rear rows folded.
