About the Mazda CX-8
Mid-size 3-row SUV with premium interior and engaging driving dynamics. Spacious for families while maintaining fun-to-drive character.
Reliability & common issues
Predominantly sold in NZ with the 2.2L Skyactiv-D diesel, which has a well-documented soft camshaft fault in early production (can damage vacuum pump/turbo) plus DPF/EGR carbon buildup if driven mostly short trips — needs regular extra-urban running. Turbo petrol variants (where fitted) generally more reliable.
Premium cabin quality. Spacious 3-row seating. Good driving experience. Available AWD option.
