cx8 towing capacity

For Australian-delivered Mazda CX-8s, towing tops out at up to 2000 kg (braked) with an unbraked limit of 750 kg, model and setup dependent.

You’ll need a proper tow pack and electric brake controller for anything heavy, and remember payload, GVM and GCM limits still apply even if the headline number doesn’t blink.

Diesel variants are usually the pick for effortless pulling, but any CX-8 will feel the weight if you hitch on a van shaped like a brick.

Check the compliance plate and owner’s manual for your exact trim/tyre/towbar ratings, then set your tyre pressures and weight distribution before you roll out.

Consult official documentation for exact figures.
