Mazda CX-8 2022 Key Highlights
The 2022 Mazda CX-8 stands out as a refined 7-seater SUV, blending Mazda’s signature "Kodo" design with practical family-oriented features. Its 2.5L Skyactiv-G engine delivers smooth, linear power, paired with a responsive 6-speed automatic transmission. The i-ACTIV AWD system ensures stability across diverse road conditions, while the G-Vectoring Control enhances handling precision. Inside, premium materials like Nappa leather and African Ayous wood trim elevate the cabin’s sophistication. Despite a modest 7-inch infotainment screen, the CX-8 offers advanced safety tech, including 360° cameras and adaptive cruise control. Competing with rivals like the Toyota Highlander, it excels in driving dynamics and aesthetic appeal, though third-row space remains a trade-off for its sleek profile.

Safety & Innovations
Common Problem
Infotainment System Issues
One of the recurring issues reported by Mazda owners, including those with similar models like the CX-5, is problems with the infotainment system. Users have mentioned frequent crashes and wireless CarPlay disconnects. Additionally, some have experienced "ghost touch" issues where the screen registers inputs that weren't made , though this seems to be less common in newer models.
Coolant and Thermostat Problems
The coolant control valve and thermostat issues are noted concerns among Mazda owners. These problems can lead to a check engine light and low coolant temperature readings. Some users suggest that these issues should be addressed through recalls due to their frequency.
Battery Drain and Electrical Issues
Battery drain or parasitic draw issues have been reported, although they seem to be relatively uncommon. Some users have experienced mysterious electrical problems leading to battery failure. A potential cause for battery drain could be leaving devices plugged into the car's power outlets when it's off.
Brake Wear and Transmission Concerns
Some owners have reported premature brake wear, particularly on vehicles equipped with cruise control which may contribute to faster wear due to braking effects. There are also mentions of transmission lurching at low speeds, which could be related to the torque converter.
General Reliability
Despite these issues, many owners report having no significant problems with their vehicles. Several users have shared positive experiences, emphasizing regular maintenance as key to avoiding major issues. The CX-8 and related models like the CX-5 are generally regarded as reliable vehicles within their class.
