2025 Mazda CX-80 launched in Indonesia, Malaysia next?

KUALA LUMPUR: The Mazda CX-80 made a striking debut in Malaysia at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2024, generating quite a buzz among local enthusiasts. While this big Mazda SUV is expected to hit the local shores this year, Indonesia has taken the lead in welcoming it.

PT Eurokars Motor Indonesia (EMI), the official distributor of Mazda cars in Indonesia, offers the seven-seater SUV at a price starting from IDR 1,199,900,000 (approx. RM 326k).

It underpins the Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture and features a front-engine longitudinal layout and rear-wheel drive.
