Highlighting the ‘Crafted in Japan’ premium cabin design of this flagship Mazda, Takumi and Takumi Plus grade Mazda CX-80s feature white Nappa leather, maple wood trim and Japanese hanging stitching on the light fabric dash panel. The Homura grade contrasts this with a darker cabin ambiance that features a black interior with Nappa leather upholstery and hair-line gunmetal trim finishes.

The flagship Takumi and Takumi Plus model’s treatment of the maple wood trim reflects the Japanese aesthetic of Hacho – asymmetrical balance, or intentional unevenness. The woven fabrics’ diverse patterns and yarns respond sensitively to changes in light, and a Japanese stitching technique called Kakenui creates ‘hanging stitching’ seams with spaces between the trim fabrics revealing a glimpse of the material beneath.

New on the 2026 model year Mazda CX-80 is the option to choose a tan leather interior on Homura Plus. A £750 option combined exclusively with captain’s seat and centre console middle row layout, it features quilted Tan Nappa leather seats, a two-tone leather steering wheel and a suede-look dashboard. The new tan cabin option brings another bold and stylish cabin choice

The CX-80 range features five model grades: Exclusive-Line, Homura, Homura Plus, Takumi and Takumi Plus. Exclusive-Line models can be fitted with the two optional packs: Comfort Pack and Tech Pack, while Homura models can be specified with the later pack. Homura Plus, Takumi and Takumi Plus models feature the packs as standard. They also feature a standard panoramic sunroof, which is optional on Homura and Takumi.

A seven-seat layout with a three-seat bench in row two is standard on all CX-80 models, while a twin captain chairs six-seat black Nappa leather layout with easy walk through to row three is a no cost option on Homura Plus. While a twin captain chair with centre cubby in row two with tan leather is a £750 cost option on Homura Plus. With Takumi Plus this same layout trimmed in White Nappa leather is also £750.

When configured in the standard seven-seat layout, the middle row bench seats in the Mazda CX-80 have a sliding range of 120mm, a seat recline range of 15-33 degrees and one-touch folding for the outer seats to aid access to row three. Shoulder room, headroom, hip point spacing and front to second row couple distance measurements have all increased compared to the Mazda CX-60.

To ensure the Mazda CX-80 delivers the interior space expected of a premium three-row SUV, the wheelbase is 250mm longer than the Mazda CX-60 and its 24mm higher than its smaller sibling. With the third-row seats in place the boot delivers 258 litres of load space including the underfloor storage. Fold the third-row seats and the CX-80 has a 687-litre load space.
