IT’S well known that Mazda is the brand Aussies head for when spending their own hard-earned cash, and that Aussies are in love with the SUV right now.
Enter the CX-8, which joins the critically acclaimed CX-3, CX-5 and CX-9 – sitting just below the latter in both size and price.
Like the CX-9, the newcomer offers seven seats but unlike its larger, petrol-only showroom stablemate, the CX-8 is powered by a diesel engine.
It’s a funny thing, the CX-8, like a stretched CX-5 with a few CX-9 bits thrown in for good measure.
But it has a distinct character, and one we like very much.
