2022 Mazda CX-8 Sport KG Series Auto i-ACTIV AWD

This 2022 Mazda CX-8 Sport is a seven-seat SUV that combines family-friendly versatility with the confident traction of Mazda’s i-ACTIV all-wheel-drive system. Finished in white and powered by a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, it is configured for drivers who need practical space without stepping away from a refined, technology-focused cabin.

The CX-8’s three-row layout gives it genuine passenger-carrying ability, while its five-door body makes access straightforward for occupants and luggage. The seating arrangement is well suited to changing daily demands: it can accommodate up to seven passengers, yet still offers the flexibility expected of a modern SUV. That makes it a useful format for commuting, school runs and longer journeys where passenger space matters.

Under the bonnet is Mazda’s Skyactiv-D twin-turbo diesel, paired with a Sports Automatic transmission. The diesel powertrain is a natural match for a larger SUV, providing the low-rev character and long-distance usability associated with this type of engine. The on-demand 4X4 drivetrain adds extra reassurance when conditions become less predictable, with the listed i-ACTIV AWD system designed to assist traction beyond ordinary sealed-road driving. G-Vectoring Control Plus is also included to support smooth, composed vehicle responses.

Technology is centred on an 8-inch infotainment display with satellite navigation, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These functions allow familiar phone-based navigation, media and communication services to be integrated into the driving experience, while the six-speaker audio system provides everyday entertainment for occupants. The result is a cabin that remains connected without relying solely on a handheld device.

Safety equipment includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning. Together, these driver-assistance systems are valuable in the situations that commonly demand extra attention, from reversing out of a crowded space to maintaining awareness on a longer highway trip.

Comfort-focused equipment includes tri-zone climate control, allowing the front and rear areas of the cabin to be managed more independently. Power-folding heated exterior mirrors add convenience in tighter parking spaces and help maintain visibility in cool conditions, while rain-sensing wipers reduce the need for repeated manual adjustments when weather changes.
