You should try 2.2 SkyactiveD AWD model Bobby. It has punchy torque at low rpm, hence it doesn't feel heavy. As for driving dynamic, i have to agree that it doesn't CX-5 dynamic.
Our spec is different here in the Philippines. We own one and there are only 2 variants, Signature (7 seater) and Exclusive (6 seater). The only difference is the seating and radar cruise control being absent in the Signature.
Dont go to Mazda Bkt Dukung, Kajang. They made it compulsory to take insurance from Berjaya Sompo, which only offers conventional package. Checked with few other Mazda dealers, we actually can opt for other Insurance/Takaful provider.
Thanks for the review, Bobby. My family consists of 6 members, we're looking for a 7 seater SUV that's more spacious than the x-trail and my dad has been waiting videos about the cx8 from you guys for your verdict. Hope this will convince him some more to get it, we're test driving the mid plus spec, which is a spec higher than the one you reviewed, the 6 seater version.
@@ruennchailai yeaa, as mentioned. The Carnival isn't a SUV, my family prefers the SUV segment more than the MPV. Plus, we've an experience with the first gen CX5, so this CX8 really got my dad's interest.
Yes, but there's also the 2.2 variable geometry turbo diesel variant which has 400+ nm of torque which is more powerful than the 2.4 N/A that you reviewed, and santa fe's driving dynamics are also a lot better...it has a great platform
Hello Bobby , Hi beng. It's plum from Thailand. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020 . Wish you and your team all the best. I'm waiting for your Maehongsorb Trip vdo. 😊. YOUR FC
For my own drive, definitely the CX8, for my own family, definitely the Vellphards. ahha but if i had to buy one, I'd go for the CX8 because i just don;t like the look of those breadvans :)
I prefer the CX9 by a fair bit margin. That car rides like a proper premium SUV. It's even quieter than XC90 but i reckon the third row isn't as comfy as CX8 if i remember correctly.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thanks bobby for your fast response. You know what, buying Mazda car has never be in my mind untill i watched your review on new CX9 and you hv clearly mentioned CX9 ride as good as XC90. What a suprise.
Hi Bobby, yet another awesome video from you, detailed and good info's. but sorry to say, all over your video i get more attracted towards your wrist watch, plss can u tell me what brand & model it is..thnx bro.
Bobby...this is at least more realistic test drive with 4 x ppl on onboard. 👍👍👍 You should feel the actual car response with those load... Other car review hardly carry enough load. Uncle Kong once was asked to bring extra ppl during his car review so that his response will not be limited to his feel driving alone. His response - " no one do it..."
This car luggage capacity is so small :( even if u jatuhkan seat blkng still lebih kurang je sbb tinggi nk letak beg2 x bape sesuai kelebihan dia kt 2rd row je duduk mmg sedap and rasa luxury
Depends. Outright capabilities vag can build crazy stuffs .. but for lower end cars like jetta, tiguan, mazda beats them on quality and build and use of materials
Again im saying, Mazda line up is confusing, not practical, from mazda 3 to cx9, all premium with no clear guidelines, blurred line between each of their model.Its like they throwing their lineup to us. Oh wait, is it premium anymore??
I will not Not buy Mazda Malaysia. Very expensive but inside kosong. No value for money. Get Hyundai Santa fe and kia Sorento 7 seater I smile with my money

how about compare this with Sorento?
Please do a genting run with in depth review of the DS7 Bobby.. Please..
if compare to outlander and santafe, how is ur comment?
It’s quite disappointing that Mazda placed the 7 seater as the lowest spec one..
Yeah, I was hoping for 7 seater diesel version.
@@fuadjohnson me too.. 7 seater diesel full spec..
Our spec is different here in the Philippines. We own one and there are only 2 variants, Signature (7 seater) and Exclusive (6 seater). The only difference is the seating and radar cruise control being absent in the Signature.
How about Toyota Fortuner?

Should buy the diesel version
Hello boby.. Just asking your opinion.. Mazda 3 sedan or toyota chr? Ignoring the practicality
Ignoring practicality? Please please get the Mazda 3 hatchback i need to see more on the road
Thanks for the review, Bobby.

You may consider Kia Grand Carnival, power, spacious and comfortable, same price range.
@@ruennchailai that's not a suv tho, should compare it to sorento or santa fe
@@ruennchailai yeaa, as mentioned. The Carnival isn't a SUV, my family prefers the SUV segment more than the MPV. Plus, we've an experience with the first gen CX5, so this CX8 really got my dad's interest.
@@ruennchailai having tested. Good handling wth powerful 2.2 crdi...but looks so uncle..
Bobby, does the cx8 have dual pane windows and windshield?
Please review Mazda BT-50
Don't forget outlander. 7 seater also, Sort of. 🤗
5 + 2 i'd say
@@BobbyAngmalaysia adoi. Sales rep. info 7. This same as Xtrial.
Peugeot 5008 also 7 seater
Cx8 vs Sorento? For diesel version. What do you think?
Abg bobby..
Compare dgn santa fe overrall mana lebih better and value for money.
Please respond.. Help me to pick one..
The fact that the cx8 is being compared to a lexus is a big win to mazda
But they should have brought in the high spec Diesel version to compare la at least...this one spec to spec not so fair id say
Aravinthan Subramaniam agreed
I think Bobby enjoyed the Santa Fe way more even though they are roughly the same size and competes with each other
But the Santa Fe is sooooo under power
Yes, but there's also the 2.2 variable geometry turbo diesel variant which has 400+ nm of torque which is more powerful than the 2.4 N/A that you reviewed, and santa fe's driving dynamics are also a lot better...it has a great platform
If compare with tiguan 2.0 7 seater? How the feel?
so... Bobby, Santa Fe or CX8? which one is better?
Interesting...Mazda made Bobby speechless...."no words coming out ma mouth" 😂

Plum!!!!! Happy new year!!!!! Yes it is coming sooon!!!!! Miss you all!!!
This car not have soundproofing?
Mazda CX8 vs Hyundai Santa Fe?
Hey Bobby, can you test drive new triton and review? Thanks
eh? did you search my channel? i think i did
This SUV needs awd to counter the weight at the back.....and gvc + for the jinba itai
Bro can you pls review face lift GLC300?
Hi Sifu Bobby, between Cx8 and Vellfire/Alphard which one do you prefer? Thanks
For my own drive, definitely the CX8, for my own family, definitely the Vellphards. ahha but if i had to buy one, I'd go for the CX8 because i just don;t like the look of those breadvans :)
@@BobbyAngmalaysia Thanks again Sifu for your response. Ok then I'll consider cx8 instead of those breadvan 😅
@@safwansalleh3567 hi safwan... we're in the same situation
@@syamsultahrin150 Hi Con..some more 6yrs free service by Mazda sounds interesting rite? :)
Having test drive recently. Now still thinking to get CX8 2.2 diesel or CX9 wth 2.5 turbo ... I really need power & space. Maybe bobby can advise me..
I prefer the CX9 by a fair bit margin. That car rides like a proper premium SUV. It's even quieter than XC90 but i reckon the third row isn't as comfy as CX8 if i remember correctly.

no ac vents 3rd row?
Its under the second row seats quite weird lol
Why did it sound so loud?
the two in the back are journalist as well?
Hope you get your hands on a diesel for our viewing pleasure 😃
vs Peugeot 5008 ??
Bobby only mention santa fe and x-trail. Should also compare to 5008, sorento and 2.4 outlander.
Hi Bobby, yet another awesome video from you, detailed and good info's. but sorry to say, all over your video i get more attracted towards your wrist watch, plss can u tell me what brand & model it is..thnx bro.
it's the casio mtg :)
Tks for d review bro....combination of a large comfortable SUV with a resonable price is not too bad...bleh lah✅
I buy kia new sorento not cx8. Same money but more value in kia.
In terms of 3rd room & luggage space how
So CX-9 is more fun to drive than CX-8, ok then.
Please review the new glc🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Bobby...this is at least more realistic test drive with 4 x ppl on onboard. 👍👍👍

Compare with fortuner la what this santa fe
You've got a nice watch..... Is that ediface?
Looks like an mtg

Actually quite big. More than 700 litres after 3rd row folding down is practically big compare to Santa Fe or Sorento.
You forgot Mitsubishi Outlander
Door opening and closing sound sounds cheap. Doesn't have that solid sound
Wow....I didn't know sounds can make huge different. How about closing treller's door? That should sounds solid... LOL!
It's not as quality as VAG group right...Bobby?
Depends. Outright capabilities vag can build crazy stuffs .. but for lower end cars like jetta, tiguan, mazda beats them on quality and build and use of materials
Starts off the video with a burp
Volvo XC90
Mazda CX-9
Hyundai Santa FE
Mazda CX-8
End up I bought Mazda CX-9. Fun to drive :)
You don’t look like you’re 95kg bro
pastikan hampa ada "insuran nyawa" kalau mau naik kereta dgn Bobby..lol
Seriously 95kg bobby?
Yupe
@@BobbyAngmalaysia wow that's almost ~0.1tan. It would make significant difference of a cars's acceleration if you are driving it. Haha
