As a new grade to the 2021 CX-8 range, the Touring SP builds upon the Touring grade with more equipment such as red-stitched interior, leather and suede seats, blacked-out 19-inch wheels and heated rear outboard seats.

The changes do come at a premium though, with the Touring SP asking $1000 more than the grade upon which it is based.

Available with a 2.5-litre petrol engine or a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel for $47,790 before on-road costs and $54,790 respectively, the former makes 140kW/252Nm while the latter produces 140kW/450Nm.

Both engines are paired to a six-speed automatic transmission, with the petrol sending drive to the front wheels and the diesel sporting all-wheel drive.
