Hi Bobby. Was just wondering if you would know the additional fuel consumption the turbo engine would have over the NA engine in terms of percentage? Thanks.
I think the best way to do the middle row is like the Kia Carnival or Honda Pilot which you can fold the middle seat or took it all away and store it in under the boot floor. But those are a segment above this CX8
early 2021 i finally can afford myself a used German premium car. but immediately the wife's Toyota Yaris felt inadequate. then was looking for a SUV for her, the only one that felt on par in quality was a Mazda CX-5 2.5T. and now needing a 3 row SUV, there is almost no option other than a CX-8. Even a Tiguan Allspace doesn't look premium enough
Nit giving second row bench seat configuration is non starter for me as third row will not be used most of the time. But i want bigger turbo version of cx-5 so too bad.
Hi Bobby always love ur videos review with very detailed and honest review. Trying to get a V90 T6 recently and just wonder if u still have ur v90 and would be glad if you could share on its reliability since its been a number of years since u own it. Oh ya talking about review, have not seen u do any review on Alpina D cars would be great if you could do some of it cheers and all the best
We look at width of a platform. As that is the only thing that isnt variable in a platform that can be lengthened or shortened. Both CX8 and CX5 is 1840mm width. And you only need to drive all three to know CX8 is nearer to CX5. If you wanna know why the CX8's wheelbase is the same as the CX9, its because they cant cannibalise own flagship with a longer wheelbase lower segment car
Thanks for explaining. I think several other Malaysian car reviewers said that the cx-8 is built on the cx-9 platform. That's where I initially got this from.
Blardy Bermaz still using the old mzd. No shame. Japan has been using the new mzd n screen for so long now. Even dare to remove the ALH. Then increase price on April...
My personal complaints on this cx8: - Seats less shoulder support - Gear knob too near to a/c control (distraction) - multimedia screen too small Finally mazda please change your design. The only brand that put the same design from SUVs to Sedans in and out. Boring.
Personally, driving a Mazda 3 Gen 4 until now still not tired of the "ageing interior". Simple and clean, no need to overcomplicate the interior with fancy ambient light and big ass screen. Just focus on driving
Agreed with you Andrew... Mazda can shuffle interior layout while make it more ergonomic. So the exterior, evolution of that same corporate look with oversized grill with tiny headlights ... Even cx-60 headlights are awkwardly tiny square shaped compared to its gaping inverted dumpling grill.....
I like how the company spend million on R&D to ensure functionality and look, and slowly improve the design from there just for consumer to say why no new design? That's why we see more and more facelift every year and some of it keep getting uglier, because new look sell and peoples just care more about look even if it sacrifice functionality, there is just so many idea the designer can think of before they run out of idea, hey...as long it's a new design right?
Wow Bobby you need to get your facts right. The cx8 and cx9 is the same platform buddy and the cx5 is a smaller Mazda 3 platform. Maybe do some actual research. The cx8 was made with a narrower body to meet Japanese road requirements.
I know. But platform means little in Japanese car making. Vellfire is same platform as Camry. CX8 and CX9 is miles apart when you drive them and use them. Platform means little.
Spot on explanation of the difference. I couldn't make up my mind for some time but your explanation nailed it.
your final statement is spot on. Good graphics = the cheapest way to make your car feel expensive
What a high class review. Thank you sir!
Mazda CX-5/CX-8 diesel variant require B7/B10 euro 5 diesel?

yep agreed on everything you said today, I'm a cx5 3 yr old upgrader to my new cx8 one month old 2.5 NA

Tiguan lack of active safety system for Malaysia is unexcusable especially for a family car.
Would be great if these AWD were put to a comparison for its use of off-road ish terrain
Comparing Subaru symmetrical, Audi Quattro etc
Different engine and tyre yields different results too
The lower compression ratio reduces the engine temperature and thus the amount of Nitrogen Oxide produced.
Great car, but I hope Mazda Malaysia can give more option on the seat configuration.
Nit giving second row bench seat configuration is non starter for me as third row will not be used most of the time. But i want bigger turbo version of cx-5 so too bad.

Please buy it! Reliable and rare, drives amazing!
@@BobbyAngmalaysia amazing thank you for ur fast reply appreciate it
If I'm not mistaken, the cx-8 is built on the cx-9 platform rather than the cx-5.

Mazda CX-8 Diesel Engine Variant is the best option.

No aircond ventfor the 3rd row is a major drawback
My personal complaints on this cx8:
- Seats less shoulder support
- Gear knob too near to a/c control (distraction)
- multimedia screen too small

Wondering is Mazda popular in Malaysia?
The SUVs are popular
depending on which region. SUVs are popular & almost everywhere in Malaysia.
The others, mostly in Klang Valley and in big cities.

Beware of Mazda fan bois.

MAybe do some real research. cx8 and cx9 is the same platform and cx8 is the flagship in Japan until cx80 comes out.
