Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Perky optional plug-in hybrid powertrain,
futuristic appearance,
well-equipped from EX trim up.

Cons
Base powertrain is pretty poky,
buzzy engine sounds under heavy throttle,
not as fuel efficient in our testing as last year's model.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Smooth and quiet ride quality
High fuel economy
Spacious seating and cargo area for a compact car

Cons
Slow acceleration
No option for all-wheel drive
Can get unsettled when driving over bumps or around turns

Need a big Mazda SUV, but don't want petrol? The brand now has the answer - it's called the CX-8. Paul Maric checks it out.

Pros
Excellent fuel efficiency
Stacks of standard features, especially in top-specification Asaki model
Plenty of room inside for a growing family

Cons
Diesel engine can run out of breath when overtaking
Quality of 360-degree camera is very poor
Three year warranty with no roadside assistance starting to fall behind the pack
