The CX-60 rides on a RWD-based platform, and is also the first Mazda to employ a new family of six-cylinder in-line gasoline and diesel engines coupled with a plug-in hybrid configuration. The CX-80 could inherit the powertrains and the choice between rear-wheel drive and all wheel drive linked to a automatic transmission eight speed. Like the Miata, the midsize SUV has something called Kinematic Stance Control, which decreases body roll by applying the brake to the inside rear wheel when cornering.
In regards to the size of the CX-80the Mazda it doesn’t say yet, but it’s worth mentioning that the standard two-row CX-60 is 4,740 millimeters (186.6 in) long and has a 2,870-mm (113-in) wheelbase. Also, its heaviest configuration is nearly 2,100 kilograms (4,630 pounds).

The former has been confirmed to have a 3.3-litre inline-six petrol engine but different to the 280 Hp and 331 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque available in the Australian-spec CX-60.
