Mazda CX-8 – without camouflage

22 May 2017

On the streets of Chicago was seen Mazda CX-8 without a hint of camouflage

The new model from the Japanese – Mazda CX-8 – has repeatedly caught in camera lenses of the paparazzi, but all the time in camouflage. Were recently published photo of a 7-seater cabin of the Mazda CX-8, but nothing more. Today, in addition to the image actually production car appeared and the data about the motor and the overall size of the CX-8.

Photograph was only the stern, but even from this angle shows that the model is very similar to the CX-9. Similar, but not quite – other chrome strip connecting the taillights, no chrome on the lower bumper, and the lights almost imperceptibly, but different from the "older" model.

 

Of course, some might say – say, this version of the CX-9 for the U.S. market and perhaps they would be right, if not clearly readable letters CX-8 in the left part of the stern on the provided photo. However, if you look closely and compare, you can see the difference between a tailgate and a crossover. A moving look at the side stationary glass CX-8, we see that it is radically different in form from the same on the CX-9.

Wheels Mazda CX-8 is also slightly visible and the design they repeat the 17-inch wheels of the model CX-5 with the tire size 225/65R17.

Another detail which is worth paying attention to is the inscription "Skyactive D", screaming to us about the diesel engine that "runs in" the vastness of the United States, where, as we know, "heavy fuel" is not in Vogue. From leaked information we know that this engine of new generation, with a volume of 2.2 l to Work this engine will be mated with 6-speed automatic transmission.

 

The data we know about overall dimensions CX-8: 4900х1840х1730 mm wheelbase 2930 mm. nothing More known. Neither the engine, nor about what General motors Mazda CX-8 is equipped with and whether with manual gearbox modification is not known.

The official information is: Mazda CX-8 is a 6 - or 7-seater crossover SUV, and fall in all markets. What purpose Mazda issued an interim model, sandwiched between "seven" and "nine" – is still a mystery. The final card will be revealed when the car will present officially.
