Need a big Mazda SUV, but don't want petrol? The brand now has the answer - it's called the CX-8. Paul Maric checks it out.

Stacks of standard features, especially in top-specification Asaki model
Plenty of room inside for a growing family

Quality of 360-degree camera is very poor
Three year warranty with no roadside assistance starting to fall behind the pack
