CX-80 Fills the Gap in Mazda's Large Luxury SUV Segment

The CX-80 directly targets competitors such as the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE in the European luxury SUV market, but offers a significant price advantage.

In terms of after-sales service policy, Bermaz Motor offers a 5-year or 100,000-kilometer manufacturer warranty for the Mazda CX-80, along with an 8-year/160,000-kilometer special warranty for the hybrid system battery.

Additionally, it includes 5 years of free maintenance service, covering labor, parts, and lubricant costs, significantly reducing the long-term ownership cost for users.

As the Malaysian government continues to promote electric vehicle incentive policies, the plug-in hybrid vehicle market is embracing new growth opportunities. It is conservatively estimated that 3,354 charging stations have been built nationwide, providing convenient charging conditions for PHEV models like the CX-80. This makes the arrival of the Mazda CX-80 very timely.
