Mazda CX-8 Petrol Cars
The Mazda CX-8 is a 7-seater SUV that is highly regarded in New Zealand for its spacious interior and great driving dynamics. It has recently received an upgrade to include a new petrol turbo engine option, making it an even more attractive option for buyers who are after a powerful and efficient vehicle.
This petrol turbo engine produces 170kW of power and 420Nm of torque, which gives the CX-8 ample performance for New Zealand's diverse driving conditions. Whether you are on the open road or in the city, this engine provides plenty of get-up-and-go without compromising on fuel economy.
Inside the cabin, the CX-8 is incredibly comfortable with generous legroom and headroom in all three rows of seats. The dashboard features an 8-inch infotainment display that comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which makes it easy to connect your smartphone and stay connected on-the-go.
Safety features are also abundant in the Mazda CX-8. All models come equipped with radar cruise control, lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and a reversing camera.
Furthermore, the CX-8 comes in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations which makes it ideal for drivers living in regions where weather conditions can be unpredictable such as Canterbury or Wellington.
In terms of space, the boot size varies depending on how many seats you have up or down but overall there's still a lot of space left to use whether its transporting family groceries around Auckland or fitting larger items when travelling further out from city centres.
In summary, if you're looking for a reliable 7-seater SUV that handles well both on long road trips across the North Island and tight suburban streets around South Island's cities then the Mazda CX-8 petrol turbo should be high up on your list of options.
