...Yet many unrealistically expecting Kia Sorrento's pricing here

Better buy 3 Aruz.

Willing buyer willing seller mah, 200k can also only buy half of a 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque or Half of a Lexus RX300 or half of a BMW X5.....

Anyway I would think this CX8 petrol version since no AWD and can be stripped down (fabric seats and what not) by BERMAZ have a chance of sub 200k pricing
*
Ya from the pricing of existing CX-5 (already almost Sorento pricing) my guess is that the CX-8 must add something like at least 30k for the extra 2 seats. Specs for specs, meaning if a high spec CX-5 petrol 2.5 2WD of RM160k, the CX-8 would at least be 190k. Still kinda ok as Sorento top spec is about RM178k ish. Many ppl still prefer Jap than Korean cars.

For me I just went straight and bought myself a Sorento FL 2.2D AWD few mths ago.

If my guess is right, which would mean the CX-8 2.2D AWD would cost at least RM174k + 30k = 205k still below the RM220k many predicted. Crucially, all CX-8 has no 3rd A/C vents and no MRCC sad.gif

Good to know, how is the workmanship at inokom kulim? (the same place CX 5 and soon CX8 will be CKD- assembled), I have never own any car roll out from that plant but would like to think they should be good since it is also where BMW , Mini and  Land Rover AFAIK also make the 3 and the 5 , x1 , x3 , countryman and defender.

My Sorento is quoted as CKD, but many told us it's actually SKD only very few parts were fitted here in Kulim. So the quality is quite solid, very much like European car not the squeeky Jap cars.

Hmm...I dont think the gap between the lowest spec to high spec is just 190k vs 205k. Furthermore they want to introduce 4 variants. It should be like 190K, 200K, 210K & 220K.
*
Well, at the moment the CX5 2.5 petrol is already a high-spec version, then above it is the 2.2D 2WD then 2.2D 4WD version, gap is 15-17k in these specs. Ya I do agree that if CX-8 is going to have 4 models from 7 seats to 6 seats, petrol to diesel, the gap will be widened but if Mazda overdo it, they are going to price themselves to a no-man-land. 30k gap across 4 models is a bit hard to swallow for the potential buyers wink.gif

Afterall this is just guessing work, even if Mazda has proper pricing it will be subjected to Govt's approval as well. Good luck to those interested wink.gif

The top specs AWD should surpass RM200k mark, being a diesel and > RM200k I think hard to get any buyer for that one.

Very curious why they do not want to launch a 2.5T AWD verion. That one if price at around RM200k it should get good response.

Also no ACC, WTF !!

I'd pick the CX-8 2.2Diesel anytime over the Hyundai Santa Fe. The CX-8 felt a level above the Santa Fe in terms of wheel base length & car length, not to mention Mazda badge got more road presence in Malaysia than Kimchi Hyundai.
*
I think at the end of the day, the 2 are priced quite closely, so I would also agree that most of ppl will go for CX-8 Diesel instead of Santa Fe.

However I actually think that the Santa Fe or Sorento look better than CX-8. CX-8 is longer, and taller than the Korean duo, but 5cm narrower. In some Australian SUV comparison video actually all the reviewers said CX-8 looks ODD blink.gif as it has a very skinny look, a bit out of proportions.

Interior space actually CX-8 is not any bigger than Santa / Sorento, because it has a much longer hood up front. But the longer wheelbase aids the ingress and egress for the 3rd row passengers. And it has the walk thru center aisle on the mid spec +. But that one is FWD only sad.gif

Wait for higher mileage to come, in Taiwan Mazda pull out all diesel models as they encounter big issue there that the car buyers staged protest like those of VW owners in Malaysia. Protest kaw kaw in front of Mazda HQ in Taipei.

MB and BMW entry model are using 3 cylinder engine, for example, A200 and 3 Series 318i (F30)

I would agree to get CX9 rather than CX8

BMW yes but not Merc. A200 is using a turbocharged 1.3 4pots engine.
