Exterior
Like all the vehicles in the Mazda Philippines line-up, the Mazda CX-8 follows the Kodo design language. Flowing lines and smooth curves wrap the premium crossover’s exterior as it rides on 19"Alloy Wheels. Up front is a prominent grille accentuated with chrome horizontal lines. It is flanked with glaring, adaptive LED Headlamps.
Interior
The crossover comes in two types of seating configurations that differentiate the Mazda CX-8 AWD variant from the FWD. The top spec all-wheel-drive comes with a 6-seating configuration with the second row composed of two individual seats. Meanwhile, the front-wheel-drive model comes in a 7-seater with a bench on the second row to accommodate three people.
Its cabin embodies the Japanese brand’s aesthetic, with more intricate and refined details. The interiors are wrapped in Deep Red Nappa Leather. The driver’s seat gets a 10-Way Power Adjustability with Memory adding to the drive comfort. On the last row, seats have a 50:50 foldability. The dashboard is decked with a Front Windshield Projected Active-Driving Display.

Starting with the top range AWD exclusive 6-seater variant, it is powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.5L In-line 4-Cylinder DOHC gasoline engine paired with a SKYACTIV-Drive 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with Sport Mode that sends power to the all wheels.
