The CX-80 sits on Mazda’s ‘Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture’ that the brand uses for various models, including the compact Mazda 3. However, the CX-80 and its CX-60 sibling are the only ones that feature longitudinal engines, which in every CX-80 are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased permanent all-wheel drive system.
The diesel CX-80’s 3.3-litre straight-six engine is equipped with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, or ‘M-Hybrid Boost’ as Mazda calls it. A small 17bhp electric motor assists the engine when pulling away from a standstill, and at low revs to boost efficiency. With 251bhp and 550Nm of torque on tap, 0-62mph takes 8.4 seconds.
The plug-in hybrid Mazda CX-80 swaps the in-line six for a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, but it works together with a much more powerful 173bhp electric motor that’s fed by a 17.8kWh lithium-ion battery.
Total power output for the CX-80 PHEV is 323bhp and there’s 500Nm of torque, with the e-motor providing a big chunk of that torque and able to do so instantaneously. This allows the two-tonne SUV to do 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds. #car #cars #luxury #suv #supercars #carsTribe #mazda #cx80 #luxurycars #SUV
