This latest 2.5 liter turbo AWD version of the CX-8 was recently launched, and we have delivered a few units to our fans who bought it through our channel.
Due to the shortage of stocks, it is only now that we are able to take a test car, and of course we had to take it up our favorite mountain.
Yrs, it is a SUV, and is not as agile as a car, but for a SUV, it does well. The power from the turbo together with the grip of AWD makes a great combination - your drive up Genting will not be an issue.
Pkease watch the video, and let us have your comments.

I really enjoy your videos! I am from the Philippines and we do source our Mazdas from Malaysia. I hope this CX8 comes to our shores too! Great videos as always! 🎉

@ianseow12 Год назад

For the price you really get a lot in terms of looks, performance, handling, and interior design, overall one of the best suv in the mid-range segment, nice review!

@stephen92340 Год назад

Mazda Malaysia still using 7" entertainment screen? Not going to provide the 10.25" screen? What about Mi-Drive? Doesn't look like it's available. Any idea when MM going to revise to latest versions of Mazda for 2022-2023? Some items available for overseas is not available for the models here? Thanks.

@weeshianchong7594 Год назад

Uncle, Happy CNY to you. I need help. Even if its CNY now, I can't help but thinking should I get the all new CX8 or the recond 2020 harrier? Which one is the more comfortable ride? Thank you.

@YSKhongDriving Год назад

Well, the CX8 comes with 5 years warranty and 5 years free service. It is also a 2.5 lit turbo or NA. Book through shop.yskhongdriving.com

@kaccarri4068 Год назад

@ianchewyy Год назад

Is a good SUV. only the fuel consumption is really high.

@Weechichi7238 Год назад

Hi Uncle Khong, noticed you use sports mode when driving up. Would there be difference and in what aspects if using the normal mode? what mode should be using when coming down? thanks.

@YSKhongDriving Год назад

Sports mode allows the revs to go higher and gives more power to the engine, needed for the climb. Coming down you can use any mode, but be careful not to over use the brakes.

@kennedypoi503 Год назад

YS , do you own a cx8? I thought in one of your videos you referred to it as your car. Btw, I just upgraded my 3 year old cx5 for a cx8 2 weeks ago, both are the Sports trim in Australia.

@YSKhongDriving Год назад

No, I don't own a CX8, unfortunately

@KepalaSneaker Год назад

I saw like there was a bit of a delay between when u downshift and when the rev counter's RPM goes up

@YSKhongDriving Год назад

Sometimes the TCU delays the downshift for smoothness and durability.

@davechua8290 Год назад

Hello Mr. khong, which unit handles better, the mazda cx 5 or the subaru forester? Thank youv& happy motoring!

@YSKhongDriving Год назад

There is the Mazda CX5 2WD and AWD. Trim levels and geatures are also different. There is also an option of 2.0, 2.5,and 2.5 turbo, and also fwd and awd. The Forester is also a great vehicle, and is AWD. The Mazda CC range comes with 6 speed auto while the Subaru is CVT. So one should choose a behicle from the packaging, the features that appeal to you, interior space, creature comforts, etc.

@davechua8290 Год назад

Thank you sir, more power to your channel

@grey71644 Год назад

hi uncle, having driven this 2.5T and 2.2D, which one should i pick for long term use? i'm leaning towards 2.2D more due to the fuel efficiency, sadly the variant is now FWD. Is it really a total loss for not having AWD? or FWD works just fine. Thanks uncle!

@jasonkok9942 Год назад

guess 2.5t will be the best choice… we had an 2019 CX-9 2.5t AWD and 2021 CX-5 2.5t AWD… both work effortlessly… 2.2D might save u up in fuels and a slightly more torQue but in long run… diesels are well known for expensive repair bills

@YSKhongDriving Год назад

If you do on road travel, fwd is fine. Anyway, Mazda engines have very little difference between diesel and petrol. Nowadays, the price of petrol abd diesel is similar, and also the roadtax is the same be it petrol or diesel In my opinion, there is very little difference in normal driving. If you like awd, go for the petrol

@NTWS804 4 месяца назад

Diesel will make you feel like a lorry, if you don't mind about the tik sound and smell, the 2.2D will be safer in term of driving cost?
