The Touring marks the second-from-bottom rung on the Mazda CX-80 ladder, and is offered with all three of the model’s powertrain options. With petrol power, you'll be shelling out $61,950, with diesel that's $63,950, and with plug-in power it's $75,000.
The Touring is also probably the bang-for-bucks pick, which builds on the entry-level Pure’s standard equipment — 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10.25-inch central screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, three-zone climate control and LED lighting — by adding a second 12.3-inch screen for the driver, leather seats that are heated up front, sunshades, an auto-opening boot and wireless device charging.
As mentioned, you can have one of three flavours in the CX-80 Touring, 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/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 EV driving range of 65km, and will take some 90 minutes to recharge its 17.8kWh battery via 7.4kW AC charging.
All models are AWD, though Mazda points out each is "rear-biased" for a sportier feel, and paired with an eight-speed automatic.
