3 Answers
Mazda CX-8 body dimensions are: length 4955mm, width 1842mm, height 1733mm, wheelbase 2930mm, and curb weight 1749kg. Taking the 2019 Mazda CX-8 as an example, it is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 192PS, maximum power of 141kW, maximum torque of 252Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 2019 Mazda CX-8 features a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension with a stabilizer bar and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension with a stabilizer bar.
I drove a Mazda CX-8 for a while, with a body length of around 4955mm, width of 1842mm, height of 1733mm, and a wheelbase reaching 2930mm. These dimensions are particularly practical for large families. On our last family road trip with six people, two middle schoolers sat comfortably in the third row without feeling cramped, and we could fit three 28-inch suitcases standing upright. The ground clearance is just right, making it easy for elderly passengers to get in and out, and it doesn't scrape the bottom on rural dirt roads. Despite being nearly 5 meters long, the turning radius is smaller than expected, allowing it to navigate narrow market streets slowly. I must say the space design is ingenious—it's actually shorter than the Highlander but has a longer wheelbase, resulting in more spacious rear legroom.
Attention to those interested in this vehicle, check the dimensions: length 4955mm, width 1842mm, height 1733mm, wheelbase 2930mm. Compared to SUVs in the same class, it has a more elongated body but moderate width, making it less challenging to navigate through narrow alleys. What I appreciate most is how the designers balanced interior and exterior space—the sloping roofline doesn't compromise rear headroom; with my height of 173cm, there's still a fist's width of space above my head in the third row. The rear window is generously sized, offering much better reversing visibility than some boxy SUVs. On weekends, loading two children's bikes plus camping gear is effortless—this size is tailor-made for urban family life.
