Is This Appearance Mazda CX-8?

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.

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

To get around this, as reported by LiveDoor, Mazda will introduce a new SUV called CX-8 with 7 seats in Japan.

In fact, has been broadcast a sketch image that was allegedly the Mazda CR-8. His outward appearance is still the design of the typical Kodo design language Mazda, so it has a similar appearance to the younger brother, Mazda CX-5.

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 kitchenpacu, this car will remain with a choice of 2-liter engine and 2.5 liter 4-cylinder for gasoline engines. And a 2.2 liter volume for diesel-engined.
