2025 Mazda CX-80 launched in Indonesia – 2.5L 4cyl PHEV replaces 3.3L inline-6, Malaysia too?


Mazda has launched the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-80 in Indonesia through PT Eurokars Motor Indonesia (EMI). However, compared to its smaller sibling, the Mazda CX-60 launched back in 2023, it will not have the 3.3-litre inline-six turbocharged petrol engine as an option.

Instead, it’ll be powered by a 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated inline-four plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, just like the Mazda CX-80 previewed at KLIMS 2024. Attached to it is an eight-speed automatic transmission, directing 328 hp and 500 Nm of torque to all four wheels via the i-ACTIV all-wheel drive (AWD) system. The new 2025 Mazda CX-80 will be the marque’s first PHEV model in the country.

The Indonesian Mazda CX-80’s electric portion is handled by a 17.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, paired to an electric motor that delivers 175 hp and 270 Nm alone, enough to get the massive SUV going in pure electric mode for 59 km (WLTP).

The flagship seven-seater SUV retails from IDR1,199,900,000 (approx. RM326k) on-the-road in Indonesia. A range of safety features come as standard, such as adaptive LED headlights, Smart Brake Support, Front Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Driver Attention Alert, Driver Monitoring System, Driver Personalisation System, Mazda Radar Cruise Control, and 360-degree surround view monitor.

Also included are standard equipment such as the 12.3-inch central infotainment display, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, Nappa leather upholstery, wooden trim on the centre console and door panels, a panoramic sunroof, rear seat climate control, and wireless charging.

The Mazda CX-80 will have a five-year MyMazda Warranty or up to 150,000 km, an eight-year battery warranty or up to 160,000 km, and a three-year warranty or up to 60,000 km service and spare parts package with the MyMazda Service.

Despite its preview in Malaysia last year, it’s still unclear which powertrain the Mazda CX-80 will come with for its anticipated Malaysia launch. Will us Malaysians also get that bigger engine like other markets such as Oceania and Japan? Or will we be recipients of the 2.5-litre inline-four PHEV like our Archipelago neighbour… or perhaps even something else? Only time will tell.
