Mazda CX-80 review: Pleasant, practical and no fussy touchscreen (plus it’s diesel)

Summary

Nutrition label

65% Informative

The Mazda CX-80 is little more than an extended, seven -seat version of the Cx-60.

There is a choice of two power-trains: one a plug-in hybrid ( PHEV ) based around a 2.5-litre petrol engine.

The other is a diesel engine, which can reach 62mph in a respectable 8.4 seconds .

Prices start just shy of 50,000 while the diesel costs more than the hybrid.

The CX-80 is pleasant to drive, practical and, most important, does without the touch-sensitive interior frippery that appears to be almost ubiquitous these days .

It doesn’t have the sort of ride and handling balance we’ve come to expect from Mazda which, really, is its only serious failing.

The Santa Fe is more comfortable and more interesting than the Santa Fe .

Volvo XC90 has one of the most beautifully finished interiors on the planet.

But the keening hybrid engine isn’t as satisfying to use, nor is it as fuel efficient.

Volkswagen Multivan is a boxy, cavernous thing with the practicality and versatility the CX-80 can only dream of.
