Mazda Preparing CX-8 to Challange Honda New CR-V

Some time ago, Mazda introduced the latest generation of its flagship SUV, the CX-5, to fill the gap between CX-3 and CX-9.

Only, Mazda CX-5 has a weakness, which is only able to accommodate 5 passengers only. In fact, Mazda does not offer CX-9 sit 3 rows in Japan.

To get around this, as reported by LiveDoor, Mazda will introduce a newest SUV named CX-8 with 7 seats in the State of Sakura Flowers.

Dimensionally, Mazda CX-8 has dimensions smaller than the CX-9, so it is expected to be a tough opponent for the Honda CR-V.

In terms of kitchen pacemaker, this car will remain with the option of a 2 liter engine and 2.5 liter 4 cylinder for gasoline engine. And a 2.2 liter volume for diesel-engined.
