Mazda adds another 3.3 CX-80 variant
Mazda has added a fourth variant to its CX-80 SUV range, a 3.3-litre version of the top spec Homura.
According to Mazda, the CX-80 was introduced here in late 2024 and ‘has become a favourite for Mazda customers and those seeking a stylish and practical seven-seat SUV.’
Sales you’d call steady rather than spectacular, with 140 registered so far this year. The 3.3 SP model has proved the most popular, with 95 now on the road, while the take up of the two PHEV versions has been slow. And so we guess that’s why buyers are getting another 3.3-litre model to choose from. The CX-80 Homura 3.3 Hybrid will join the range priced from $82,990, which is $8k more than the SP 3.3 but $6500 cheaper than the 2.5 PHEV Homura version.
Like the 2.5 PHEV, the 3.3-litre version has items like a Bose audio system, a panoramic glass sunroof, electric steering column adjustment and heated outer rear seats. Mazda’s Driver Personalisation System includes the Driving Position Assist which recommends the ideal driving position.

The 3.3-litre six-cylinder turbocharged petrol is a hybrid of the mild kind, and delivers 209kW and 450Nm, with fuel consumption of 8.4L/100km.
Mazda NZ said; “The introduction of the Homura 3.3 Hybrid, this provides another choice – offering either the exceptional capabilities of a plug-in hybrid or the sound, smoothness and performance only found in an inline six.”
