I drove the P50E Azami. This comes with a 2.5 litre Plug in Hybrid petrol engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

This engine is quite powerful and provides plenty of zip around town and cruises beautifully on the motorway.

It also has about 60km of EV only range and that’s enough for most daily trips. Its also relatively economical as a hybrid.

The Azami comes well equipped with luxury and comfort features. I particularly like the Nappa leather seats that are ventilated for the front seats. You can personalise the driving position for different drivers. And the 360 degree see through camera system adds to the safety.

Mazda have done a great job with the CX-80. Its spacious, comfortable and smooth. It feels like it cocoons you as you are driving.

Pricing for the CX-80 range is from around $55,000 through to $87.200 dollars plus the usual costs. The SP option package is $5000.

There is a lot of competition for large seven seat SUVs but the new CX-80 is definitely worth a drive.

The First-Ever Mazda CX-90 introduces a three-row seating configuration at the very top end of the Mazda models.

It’s a full seven seat model for larger families for the weekday activities as well as weekends away and family holidays.

It will come in three models, the of Touring, GT and Azami. All come with a choice of either a turbocharged, inline-six cylinder petrol or diesel engine, both of which employ 48-volt M Hybrid Boost MHEV technology

Both engines come with Mazda’s Skyactiv-Drive eight-speed automatic transmission (developed without a torque converter and transmitting torque directly), which sends drive to all four wheels via full-time i-Activ All-Wheel Drive – a rear-biased drive system that balances engaging and adventurous driving characteristics.

The CX-90 comes with four different switchable driving modes, ranging from Normal, Sport, Off-Road and Towing

The Mazda CX-90 is priced from around $74,500 through to a bit under $94,000 plus the usual costs.
