Mazda CX-80 comes in a choice of three models. The Pure, Touring, GT and Azami.

On top of that there are two option packs.

Each model comes with a choice of a 3.3 litre straight six petrol or diesel engine that has mild hybrid technology. There is a PHEV version available as well.

I’ve driven both and they have plenty of performance. The diesel is more economical and perhaps better suited for those that take longer drives. I found myself thinking that a full hybrid especially in petrol form would be better for urban driving.

All come with the same 8 speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive for when roads get wet or slippery.

Buyers of the entry level Pure  model won’t be disappointed as they come well equipped.

Being a narrower SUV than the CX-90 it is a little tight if you try to fit two adults and a baby seat in the middle row seats.

But for a family of four with even two baby seats its ideal.

Pricing for the CX-80 ranges from $62,700 through to around $87,950 dollars plus the usual costs.

Overall, the Mazda CX-80 is a safe and comfortable SUV that provides a level of comfort for new mums. Mazda CX-80 is mum and bub approved.

One of its biggest strengths is interior space. The Kluger offers a roomy cabin with generous legroom and headroom across the first and second rows, making it easy to install and access baby seats.

Wide-opening rear doors simplify putting the baby seat and bub in the back seat. While the spacious layout provides plenty of room for prams, baby bags, and other family essentials.

Fuel economy is another standout feature of the Kluger Hybrid. Its petrol-electric powertrain delivers impressive efficiency for a large seven-seat SUV, helping families save money at the bowser while also reducing the number of fuel stops on long trips.

This makes it a practical choice for daily school runs, weekend outings, and family holidays.

Comfort is a key part of the Kluger’s appeal. The seats are supportive, the ride quality is smooth, and road noise is well controlled, creating a relaxed environment for both parents and children.

Passengers benefit from ample space and thoughtful storage solutions throughout the cabin, making longer journeys more enjoyable.

From a styling perspective, the Toyota Kluger Hybrid presents a modern and sophisticated appearance. Its bold front design, sleek body lines, and refined interior create a premium feel that suits family life without sacrificing visual appeal. Overall, it is a capable and family-friendly SUV.

Being the Azami model with the SP option pack, the CX-80 is packed with every conceivable comfort, luxury and safety feature.

It comes with a five star ANCAP safety rating, which is a good place to start and comforting for parents.

Apart from all the three letter icons you expect there are other features that I particularly appreciate. Things like

• Blind spot monitor in case I miss a car when changing lanes.
• See through surround monitor which allows you to see if there are toddlers about
• Driver attention alert, perfect for mums that may be sleep deprived.
• Adaptive cruise control, for keeping a safe distance from the car in front.
• Comfortable heated and ventilated seats with electronic adjustments to get that driving position just right and
• Wireless smart phone connectivity and charging

I’m not a fan of the rotary control dial for the central screen. I find I have to glance down and focus more than I’d like when scrolling through menus. Personally, I think a full touchscreen would be easier and more intuitive.

Overall, the level of safety in the Mazda CX-80 is reassuring for parents that are doing the best they can for their family.
