Exterior
The CX-60 follows Mazda’s Japanese Kodo design philosophy, meaning it has an elegant, stand-out style.
Based on a new platform, the model is longer and wider than the CX-5 and has a commanding presence on the road.
You can expect a large signature grille, LED headlamps, and 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. Plus, there are many extra features that can be added to accentuate its sleek, sporty design.
With its curvaceous style, it certainly stands out as a premium SUV – without the hefty price tag.
Interior
The inside of the Mazda CX-60 feels truly luxurious. It’s classy, has a logical layout, and high-quality materials such as maple wood, nappa leather, and Japanese textiles have been used throughout.
Wide door openings make access a breeze, and due to the vehicle's width, there is plenty of leg and head room on offer for all occupants. A flat floor means there is no compromise on space for the middle rear passenger either!
A large boot with a capacity of 570 litres is perfect for busy families. Lots of handy features such as storage nets and hooks will help secure any luggage you need to transport.
The CX-60 comes packed with technology for your enjoyment, safety, and convenience. Highlights include a smart digital instrument cluster, and 12-inch infotainment screen with full Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
An intelligent Mazda Driver Personalisation System uses facial recognition technology to automatically adjust seat position, steering wheel, head-up display, and climate control to the preferred settings too. It feels truly futuristic - and we love it.
Powertrain and Performance
The Mazda CX-60 features a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, 129kW electric motor, and a 17.8kWh battery. It’s Mazda’s most powerful road car, that simultaneously boasts excellent efficiency metrics. A combined fuel consumption of 188mpg and combined CO2 emissions of only 33g/km (WLTP) demonstrates that power doesn’t have to come at the cost of the planet.
Drivers can expect to achieve 39 miles (WLTP) of fully electric range when running below 62mph. This makes it perfect for city driving.
The CX-60 can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.8 seconds. It feels smooth, agile, and refined – for a truly premium driving experience.
You can also toggle between the five different driving modes (Normal, Sport, Off-Road, Towing, and EV) to tailor your driving experience to your preferred style.
Although the CX-60 is only available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain at present, petrol and diesel options are set to join the range in the future.
Prices for the Mazda CX-60 start at £43,950. There are three trim options available: Exclusive Line, Homura, and Takumi. For more information on each of these, follow the links below.
