5 Things You May Have Missed About The Mazda CX-8

It comes as a surprise to many that Pickup-based Passenger Vehicles or PPVs are now getting quite expensive. Although they’re loaded with more features than ever, near top-of-the-line variants have crossed well into the P 2-million mark. With that in mind, more choices open up, including those that weren’t originally within reach of those looking for a family-oriented SUV.

Mazda is Bringing in 7-Seater CX-8 for ASEAN Markets Afterall (w/ 15 Photos)

“This December we will introduce the [Mazda] CX-8 in Japan, but of course we will export outside of Japan,” quipped Mr. Hiroshi Inoue, Mazda Executive Officer in charge of ASEAN Business and General Manager of ASEAN Business Office when asked about the CX-8. This goes against what Mazda said initially that the CX-8 is for the Japan Domestic Market only.

Mazda Philippines Records 38 Percent Sales Growth In H1 2021

Bermaz Auto Philippines Inc., the exclusive distributor of Mazda vehicles, has reported a 38 percent sales improvement in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period last year. Because of the growing popularity of the Mazda crossover lineup, the CX-9, CX-8, CX-5, CX-30 and CX-3 nameplates made up 60 percent of the total sales.

First Drive: 2020 Mazda CX-8 2.5 Skyactiv-G AWD

The story of the CX-8 is a rather unremarkable one. Mazda once had an MPV, the Mazda8, which was actually marketed with the tagline, “the idea of a sportscar – inherited by a minivan.” It was, in every sense of the word, a mom mobile that that very tagline was delivered by a middle-aged woman in Japan. But as the company shifted its attention to all things KODO and Skyactiv, they found themselves with an opportunity: should they make something pleasing to soccer moms or should they make a three-row SUV? Focused group studies and likely, simpler engineering costs dictated the latter, and thus, the CX-8 was born.

Review: 2021 Mazda CX-8 AWD Exclusive

When Mazda Philippines launched the CX-8 mid-sized SUV, it served as an alternative to the typical pickup-based mid-sized SUV choices in the market. Priced at P 2.290-million, we extensively reviewed the CX-8 2WD Signature last year, proclaiming it to be the best balanced of Mazda’s CX line-up. But what if you wanted something more; something with all the bells-and-whistles? Well, for P 160,000 more, there’s this: the CX-8 AWD Exclusive.

This is Why We Will Never Get a Diesel-Powered Mazda CX-8

As fate would have it, the very reason why we have the Mazda CX-8 available in the Philippine market is the very same reason why we’ll never be getting a diesel version of it.

Mazda Confirms 7-Seater CX-5 SUV, Calls It CX-8

After intense speculation coming from Japanese car blogs (such as this one), Mazda has gone on record and confirmed that they are indeed making a 7-seater CX-5. In fact, they’ve released a single teaser image of the production model called the CX-8. The CX-8 will be sold in Japan by the end of 2017 (as early as the third quarter according to some sources).

Mazda Philippines Elevates Three-Row SUVs with CX-8. Prices Start at P 2.290M (w/ 15 Photos, Specs)

This model is more than two years in the making. After “slipping out” during the press con at the CX-5’s Malaysian plant assembly roll out in 2017, people thought that the three-row Mazda CX-8 was sure to join the line-up in 2018. Then, nothing. Enter the first nine months of 2019, and still nothing. And then, it just happened. It rolled out of the assembly plant in October and now, here it is. Philippines, this is your 2020 Mazda CX-8 (read our first impressions, here).

Review: 2020 Mazda CX-8 Signature 2WD

Mazda has been taking their approach to premium the same way the Germans have: plug very conceivable niche. It may not feel it, but the carmaker actually has five SUVs in its product range—that’s as many as Honda (three) and Subaru (two) combined. And though Toyota has seven, its price spread is rather large—P 3.967 million compared to Mazda’s P 1.65-million. With such a dizzying array of choices crammed into a small price bracket, where does the CX-8 fit into all this?

How the Mazda CX-8 Embodies Japanese Hospitality

Omotenashi. It’s known the world over as “Japanese hospitality,” but its literal translation gives a much deeper meaning: “Omote” means public face while “Nashi” means nothing. Combining them means every service is from the bottom of the heart—honest and genuine—the very same ideas that describe the Mazda CX-8.
