The 2019 Mazda CX-8 Diesel hits the sweet spot for growing families who want true 7-seater space without the bulky footprint of a full-size barge. Powered by a punchy 2.2-liter twin-turbo SkyActiv-D engine, it delivers 188 hp alongside a massive 450 Nm of low-end torque—making effortless work of full loads and highway merging. Best of all, with a thrifty real-world fuel economy averaging around 13 to 15 km/L (6.0 L/100 km), it gives you premium crossover comfort while keeping running costs far lower than its petrol rivals.
