Reception
Marton Pettendy of Motoring gave the CX-8 a rating of 84 out of 100, praising the quality and refinement, performance and economy, and diesel power for less than the CX-9, but criticizing the tight rear head/leg room, sub-par warranty and service intervals, and the lack of a spare tire and CarPlay.[7] Malcolm Flynn of Carsguide.com.au rated the car 8.1. out of 10, praising its ease of parking compared to the CX-9, more useful trunk space than the CX-5, and its comfortable ride, but criticizing its lack of a petrol engine and CarPlay and the steep price jump between the Sport and Asaki trims.[8] Paul Maric of CarAdvice gave the car a rating of 7.9 out of 10, calling it a "compelling proposition for families that need the extra space of an occasional third row and the fuel economy of a Diesel engine."[9]
