Based mostly on the corporate’s new rear-biased Giant Structure, which underpins the upcoming CX-60 already confirmed for our market – in addition to the as but unrevealed CX-70 and CX-90 crossovers – the beforehand confirmed CX-80 might be a three-row companion to the CX-60 in the identical manner the prevailing CX-8 is actually a stretched CX-5.
