Can the updated and upmarket Mazda CX-8 upset our reigning Best Family SUV?

The Kia Sorento has been named carsales Best Family SUV for the past three consecutive years, but the recently updated Mazda CX-8 is looking to steal its thunder with loads of luxury and a unique six-seat layout.

While both vehicles are three-row family SUVs, the Kia has a traditional three-seat bench in the second row while a pair of lavish power-operated captain’s chairs grace the second row of the Mazda, giving it a unique point of difference.

The question is which of these two top-spec all-wheel drive turbo-diesel family SUVs is better – the undisputed champion and all-round charmer from Kia or the sumptuous new Mazda? Click play on the video to find out.
