Mazda has stuck to familiar variant nameplates, with the CX-60 available in Evolve, GT, and Azami spec levels.
The CX-60 is offered with new inline-six petrol and diesel engines, as well as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain across all three trim levels.
In terms of performance, technology, interior design and finish, and price, it’s nudging into new territory for the company.
The CX-60 is underpinned by Mazda’s new ‘Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture’, which is designed to support rear- or all-wheel drive and will underpin more future premium models.
Driver assistance systems available on some models include a ‘See-Through View’ for the surround-view camera; and a system that adjusts the seats, wheel, head-up display and mirrors to match the driver’s eye position and uses facial recognition to remember presets for the vehicle, audio and climate settings.
