Overview

The Mazda CX-60 is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Mazda since 2022. It is the first vehicle to use Mazda's rear- and all-wheel drive platform with longitudinal engine layout categorised as Large Product Group, which includes a line-up of straight-six engines. It is also the first Mazda vehicle to feature a plug-in hybrid option. The CX-60 is marketed in Europe, Japan, Australia and several other markets, while North America receives the CX-70, which is essentially a CX-90 without third row seating. By size, it is larger than the CX-5 and smaller than the CX-9. It is comparable in size to the CX-50, and wider but shorter in length than the CX-8.

Equipment

The driver cockpit area is equipped with three displays, consisting of a full TFT LCD instrument cluster, a window head-up display (HUD) and a 12.3-inch Mazda Connect centre display without touchscreen functionality; the display can be operated through a "command control" knob.

Powertrain

The petrol plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model was the first variant to be released. It uses the existing 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine combined with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery which resulted in combined outputs of 241 kW and 500 Nm of torque. It has a towing capacity of 2500 kg with a claimed 0-100 km/h figure of 5.8 seconds. Electric only mode top speed is 140 km/h. Mazda claimed that the electric-only range is rated at 60 km. The 17.8 kWh battery can be charged in just four hours from empty to full, if connected to a normal AC charging socket capable of 220 V power.

Reception

The CX-60 has been compared to premium SUVs such as the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5 and Lexus NX, in addition to SUVs from regular 'mainstream' brands. According to Australian publication CarExpert, the CX-60 straddles between "the mainstream and premium mid-size SUV segments", and looked like "it's gunning for the Germans". CarExpert noted its firm suspension that fails to dampen "road imperfections". Top Gear says Mazda is pitching the CX-60 directly at the BMW X3, while noting its cheaper price.

06 Buyer's guide

Who it suits

  • Buyers who want ground clearance, a high seating position and load space: the typical strengths of the SUV body.

Check before you buy

  • Ask for a battery state-of-health report: the traction battery is the main value driver in a used hybrid or electric car. Battery SOH tool
  • Confirm the charging inlet and the speeds your market supports; plug types differ between regions.
  • Check the emissions equipment (particulate filter, NOx treatment) and the destination country's emissions rules; some markets restrict used diesels.
  • Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
  • Test the four-wheel-drive system (transfer case, differentials) and look for uneven tyre wear.
  • Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
  • Run a history check (accidents, flood, mileage) before you bid. History check guide
  • Import age rules: this generation already qualifies in Kenya. Confirm the rule for your exact vehicle with customs before buying. Landed-cost calculator
