Mazda CX-80 In-Depth Review 2025, Practical & Premium! (UK)(4K) | Carcode

The Mazda CX80 is the company’s largest model in Europe, available with 6 or 7 seats!
Based on the successful CX60, the 80 has an extended wheelbase by 25cm to allow for more space for rear passengers and importantly the introduction of the 3rd row. It also is a little higher to give occupants more head room.
I was able to test both the PHEV model and the inline 6 cylinder 3.3L turbo-charged diesel engine. The PHEV had an official range of up to 38 miles in EV mode, I managed to return around 25 miles according to the car computer.
Mazda have designed a practical family SUV, which doesn’t compromise on luxury, the front of the cabin is essentially the same as the smaller CX-60.
A huge thanks to @mazdauk for having me along to the CX-80 launch event, it was great to have a good amount of time with the different derivatives!

Best Ford Kuga review on TY, thank you. Sealed the deal for me, bursting green ST line ordered 😊
Thank you that’s very kind! Lovely choice, enjoy it 😊
Thanks for such an informative and thorough review!
Glad it was helpful 👌🏻👍🏻
test this car uphill before you buy it
my family has one, it's the base model though and is not in very good condition 🙄 the glove box is broken, shifting into first gear is a herculean task, occasionally pieces of the car turn up when we clean it, etc... still fun and peppy though!
So sweet..

Found this review very helpful. I’m collecting my A3 from the Lake District on Monday !
Glad it was helpful! Fantastic, enjoy it! I’m sure it will be a very special experience collecting it 😊
Is he old enough to drive 😂
Yeah I’m 21 :)
Sam do you recomind buying this car.
Has anyone noticed Q6 number plate 😅 I am not saying it😊
Hahaha someone was upset lol
Stop making station wagons! I think they are ugly just like the ones from the 1970's.
There’s plenty of SUVs out there available, the general feedback of estates seems to be very good and well received, at least here in the UK!
I like this Van(🛻 pick-up) a lot.
Note: At least in Germany, the sun roof is not included in the premium model, it’s about 1000€ extra
False floor for cables is an idiotic idea… if you boot is loaded, you can’t reach the cable anymore
Can anyone quote on the boot compared in size to the boot of a regular Ford Focus (hatchback, not tournier)? I have the impression it’s smaller in size (width/length, not liters) which would be pretty bad.
Cette semaine mon fils et moi même nous avons commandé deux s6,l'une noire évidement pour mon fils qui est plus jeune et pour moi gris. On en reparle en mars lorsque nous aurons les véhicules 👍
Magnifique 👏🏻
Great review thanks 🙏 Can you confirm if the 1.5 diesel version uses the wet cam belt or not which can be quite troublesome from what I’ve heard.
The Audi S6 e-tron is impressive, but if you need an efficient and reliable all-electric SUV, the Toyota bZ4X is a great value option with a strong balance of range, comfort, and safety.
Is this bigger than the ZS ev from 2023 or the same size ?
It is bigger than the ZS EV 👍🏻
Great review! Your outfit compliments the vehicle!
Thank you!
£100k, I don't think this will sell well! Overpriced!
좋아요
Thanks 😊
Very nice video, professional. A car that needs to be on your list: I've test-driven one and it really drives great. I am getting one when I need to change my car in a year or 2 and hopefully they will have fixed a few of the small things, like the stereo, bluetooth Carplay, maybe fog lamps, etc. Well done, sir! 🙂
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
there have been reports from Australian reviewers that the software of this car is malfunctional. In details, sometimes it leaves the battery depleted and therefore, makes the car suddenly in petrol - only mode which is extremely weak and not safety. MG has said that they will fix in software update but that make me wondering how things are fixed and will it still be efficient as current version.
Outdated views,read about the software update
@dermotporter5280 everyone knows about the update but what im asking is the change in actual performance/fuel consumption... Did you read my cmt?
Hi Sam, a great review! It was fun to see you as a "professional offroad" rider. 😄 I'm sure it was a great experience for you too. Otherwise, as always, a very successful presentation of an interesting pickup car. 👏
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed the video 😄. It was a lot of fun!
I remember the 1st time I went round an off-road course, the instructor wasn't as pleasant as your guy. Good upload.
Thank you! Yes, the Isuzu team were fantastic 😄
I enjoyed watching the video review, one of my favourite Pickup Trucks
Thanks Jamie, glad you enjoyed it 😊! It is a great beast 👍🏻
Excellent review very informative, just buying one so very pleased, I am certainly looking forward to getting it.
Glad to hear you found my video helpful! Enjoy your new Civic, which spec and colour did you go for?
Way to go Sam 16k reviews in 4 days - on a roll with this one 🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻 Excellent review as always - the ZS has always represented excellent value for money and this new model just improves the prospect even further - I think MG will do really well with this new model. You know I love my Duster’s - I think I would still opt for a Duster as I like it’s rugged simplicity more, but the ZS is definitely serious competition for all of the small budget SUVs. Love the red doc martens too - keeping coordinated as usual!! Slightly disappointed the wasp didn’t make an appearance (IYKYK) but I bet you were quite pleased 😂😂🫶🏻🫶🏻 I always thought that tyre brand was pronounced more like Coo-mows rather than Come-hos…. No idea which is right - just stick to Michelin’s or Continental’s it’s safer lol 😂😂❤
Thanks Richard! It is flying! I agree great value and I’ve already seen a fair few on the roads, so it’s proving to be popular. I do like the rugged look of the Duster, but was never a fan until the current version. I did think a wasp would make an appearance for this MG review, but strangely not 🤔😅 Only ever heard them be called come-hos to be fair, wouldn’t choose them myself… a Michelin, Conti or a Bridgestone would be preferred 👍🏻
😲 are you even old enough to drive.
its not small !!443cm are basically quashqai and tucson class
Can you add a roof rack 🤔🤔
Hey, that's very nice review
Where can you purchase the rear seats / bed ?
well done lad, you need to improve the sound quality on these videos , keep it up
Super belle 👍👍👍
Thank you 💛
You look youge, but the way you talk is very informative, keep it up!
MG is owned by the Chinese Communist Party. Buying this car supports the political elite in a country that spies on the UK, steals copyright, suppresses freedoms, locks up political opposition and ethnic groups. Better but EU, SK, Jpn or US.
Touch screen is 12.3 inch not 10.25 as you stated! 😊
Oddly enough, the new MG3 - with identical battery and motor - is being hammered in reviews because its 1.7Kwh battery is woefully inadequate and makes the car completely undriveable after just a couple of rapid accelerations. MG (in Thailand) have just released a, ahem, 'fix' for the ZS Hybrid to try and stem the deluge of complaints regarding the same issue. A real fix would involve ripping out the useless EV battery, and installing one with at least twice the capacity.
Beaucoup de critiques antichinoises la plupart du temps infondées … En fait, cette batterie est déjà deux fois plus puissante que celles de la concurrence … Je suppose que cette situation se produit éventuellement dans une utilisation extrême et inhabituelle.
Excellent review. Well done.
An excellent review covering pretty much all bases so well done.This car is built to a price & represents amazing value for money.Sadly you appear to have forgotten that this is a Budget priced car & if all the extra equipment you would like adding from your wish list then it wouldn’t fit into the Budget category anymore and the list price would rise massively making it a lot less competitive. I’ve recently bought the actual model as tested here and I’m extremely happy with it as it didn’t break the bank.
I’m glad you enjoyed the review and are liking your ZS! Yes, I understand it is a budget SUV, so they ultimately do have to cut costs somewhere. 👍🏻
Great footage and data, what I was looking for, thanks!!
Great to hear! Thank you
Hi. An interesting and informative review. Just one clarification please. At around 16:30, you talk about the stereo system, and you go on to say that “graphic equaliser” Would it be possible for you explain how/where you managed to find the settings to do this? Many thanks.
Part of my text appears to have disappeared. It concern the video from 16:30 to 16:50. Where you say “even adjusting eq trying to putting the base up etcetera, didn’t help at all”. Please could you explain what you did to adjust the base? Many thanks Noel.
Can you compare this to the Kia Sportage HEV? Price and power are pretty similar (though Sportage still has more power) and I wonder which one is more fun to drive.
This was a very articulate and straight to the point review! Super professional and unbiased, keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
First time here, excellent review , thanks for that.
Thank you!
I hope you'll do a road test of it when you get your driving licence!
It seems that the Chinese manufacturer forgot to put a light for rear passengers, your glove box won't have a light either, there is no fog light, well it doesn't matter. It really is very powerful, but what happens when the battery runs out in mountain passes and the thermal engine proves insufficient? MG is updating, good for MG. Do the parts arrive soon? Is there a good after-sales service? What price do the reviews have? MG is a great company, it must take care of certain aspects, and it will be an unbeatable company.😅😊
Dans tous vos commentaires, vous êtes résolument antichinois… Les critiques sont faciles et n’ont aucune valeur lorsqu’on parle d’un véhicule qu’on ne conduit pas quotidiennement …
@MacGyver618 You talk for the sake of talking, over and over again, without contributing anything. I think other Chinese brands are doing it better, taking care of the details and providing better customer service. Byd,Omoda, Jaecoo etc. are doing well, listening to the customer, improving the products. I repeat, MG is a great SAIC company, and I am sure it will be positioned among the top global brands, but it must take care of the small details. Chinese brands are very powerful, with very good quality in electric batteries. I hope you understand thank you
@@MRFARINARassurez-vous, je comprends vite… Je parle (non pas pour le plaisir!)de mon expérience personnelle avec cette voiture qui me donne toute satisfaction. Je suis certain que MG va encore s’améliorer dans les détails : c’est ce que chaque constructeur devrait faire… J’espère que nos constructeurs européens vont réagir à cette redoutable nouvelle concurrence qui est bénéfique pour tous… Sans animosité aucune.
@MacGyver618 Here I agree with you. And I'm glad this happy You have understood that MG (Saic) also has competition in its own country, Byd and other brands come with good after-sales service, improving the wait for repairs, and with cheaper revisions than MG. ZS Hybrid has the capacity to improve, they surely will. MG can position itself as a reference brand in the world, but it must take care of what I have already mentioned, I don't want to repeat myself. Kind regards
Merci pour votre réponse positive. Comme quoi on trouve toujours un terrain d’entente entre gens « intelligents »… J’ai été client pendant 45 ans chez Peugeot, et surtout chez Citroën … Dégoûté par beaucoup de soucis rencontrés ces dernières années, je me suis tourné vers ce modèle dont l’essai m’a bluffé, ainsi que le tarif…
