Are incentives the missing ingredient in a shift toward 50 per cent EV sales in Australia?

Australia is the only country in the world that offers all four SUV offerings from Mazda’s premium Large Architecture platform.

Mazda seems back on track in 2025 for a bumper sales year.

Mazda’s new seven-seat family SUV has scored full marks in safety testing.  The 2025 Mazda CX-80 received five stars from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) against the latest 2024 criteria. 

Pricing and specifications for the brand new, all-hybrid seven-seat Mazda CX-80 SUV are here, as deliveries for the new model are set to commence from the end of this month.

In Europe, you’ll find a re-faced Toyota Yaris posing as the Mazda2, while in the United States, Mazda’s rugged mid-size SUV uses the same powertrain as its biggest rival: the Toyota RAV4. 

Mazda Australia says it is not concerned its new large SUV strategy will confuse buyers, and believes the four new models will have their own distinct identity on dealer showroom floors.

Mazda is continuing its push into the large premium SUV space with the release of the six- or seven-seat CX-80, scheduled for local launch before the end of this year and effectively replacing the CX-8.

The fourth part of Mazda’s Large Architecture platform quartet will be revealed within a week, with a teaser image of the CX-80 large SUV joining additional confirmation the model will come to Australia.
