Mazda Introduces the All-New 2025 CX-80 to Its European Lineup
Mazda is expanding its presence in Europe with the launch of the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-80. This model, following the introduction of the CX-60, offers a more spacious three-row seating arrangement and features designed for larger families or those requiring additional space.
Design and Dimensions: A Comparative Overview
The Mazda CX-80 has been designed to accommodate third-row seating, making it a substantial presence on the road. It measures 4,995 mm in length and stands 1,710 mm tall, significantly larger than the CX-60. The design ethos, 'Graceful Toughness,' combines robust architectural elements with the elegant aesthetics typical of Mazda’s lineup. The SUV features a deeply sculpted front facade and bright side window moldings that enhance its dynamic stance.
Unlike the wider-body 2024 CX-90, which caters to U.S. preferences for bulkier vehicles, the CX-80 maintains a sleeker profile suitable for the narrower urban roads commonly found in Europe and Asia. Both models share high-end touches like large alloy wheels and premium color options, including Artisan Red and Melting Copper—exclusive shades that amplify their sophisticated exteriors.
Luxurious Interiors Tailored for Comfort
The interior of the CX-80 features an expansive dashboard that extends into door trims, accentuated by continuous lines through air vents, enhancing the perception of space. This feature is paralleled in its American counterpart, albeit designed to cater to different market tastes in layout and materials. The Takumi grade offers white Nappa leather upholstery adorned with maple wood trim, adding a touch of traditional Japanese craftsmanship evident in both models.

Utility-wise, both vehicles offer advanced technological integrations, such as Alexa voice control capabilities for navigation and entertainment systems, along with wireless smartphone charging solutions. These features cater to modern consumers who value connectivity and convenience while traveling.
Performance Capabilities
The Mazda CX-80 is equipped with an e-Skyactiv PHEV system that combines a direct injection petrol engine with an electric motor, producing a total output of 327 PS/241 kW. It boasts impressive environmental credentials with CO2 emissions just shy of 36 g/km according to WLTP standards. The diesel variant features a straight-six engine complemented by mild hybrid technology, showcasing Mazda's commitment to efficient yet powerful driving experiences.
This contrasts subtly yet significantly from the CX-90’s offerings, which are primarily focused on higher horsepower outputs catering to performance-oriented drivers in North America, where road conditions often allow for fully exploiting these capabilities, unlike the denser traffic scenarios typically encountered in European cities.
A Glimpse Into Advanced Safety Features
Safety remains paramount across both models; however, each aligns differently based on regional safety regulations and consumer expectations. The Euro NCAP ratings targeted by the CX-80 reflect stringent European safety benchmarks, whereas additional amenities like the See-through View monitors adapt more universally across markets, ensuring comprehensive protective measures are met irrespective of geographic location.
An Elegant Fusion of Functionality & Style
The launch of Mazda's latest addition not only showcases advancements in automotive engineering but also reaffirms their dedication to crafting vehicles that blend seamlessly into lifestyles around various parts of the globe without compromising on luxury or functionality—an endeavor they continue to master beautifully year after year.
