It's always been slightly strange the way Mazda has gone about marketing its rather splendid vehicles.
In particular, its SUVs. Or the lack of them.
The Hiroshima-based brand has always been great when it comes to high-end hatches and sedans. Not to mention its brilliant sports models.
But the SUV always seems to be a little underdone.
Whatever the reason, Mazda's approach to the ubiquitous, still-growing SUV market has recently switched from one extreme to the other.
That is, from having two or three soft-roader machines (the baby CX3 and volume-selling CX5) flying the flag in Mazda's shiny showrooms, it has added a handful of other formats giving its reborn soft-roader
fleet a free run of the place.
Not just one big, handsome SUV (the flagship CX-90 released mid-2024) but four all-new SUV models and seven in all - each answering to roughly the same name and all proving almost impossible to tell apart.
Same engines, same sleek silhouette and same high-end finishes
Fortunately, it got the recipe bang on target and the full range has been fleshed out with the CX-60, CX-80 and CX-90.
