It features a diesel engine, premium interior, and comprehensive safety features. However, it falls short in driving dynamics compared to other models in the range. The CX-8 Asaki tested here offers a luxurious experience at a higher price point. Overall, it is a sensible choice for families seeking efficiency and space.
