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.

Drivetrains

Power in the 2023 Mazda CX-60 comes from a range of three powertrains which are available on all trims levels.

The 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine produces 209kW of power and 450Nm of torque. Mazda claims models with this engine equipped can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.9 seconds.

The 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six diesel engine produces 187kW and 500Nm of torque. Mazda claims models with this engine equipped can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.3 seconds.

Both of these 3.3-litre inline-six engines are mated to a 48V mild-hybrid system and have engine idle stop/start.

The flagship engine in the 2023 Mazda CX-60 range is the 2.5-litre four-cylinder plug-in hybrid (PHEV) which has a total system output of 241kW and 500Nm. It’s the first Mazda PHEV, and the brand’s most powerful road-going model to date.

The PHEV powertrain comprises a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, a 100kW electric motor and a 17.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Mazda claims models with this setup equipped can do the 100km/h sprint in 5.9 seconds.

All engines are combined with a newly-developed eight-speed automatic transmission, with drive sent through a new rear-biased all-wheel drive system with Normal, Sport, Off-Road, Towing and EV (PHEV only) drive modes.

Efficiency

Official fuel consumption figures for the 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine are yet to be confirmed and will be published in early 2023.

The PHEV powertrain has a claimed electric range of 76km according to ADR testing. Fuel consumption is rated at 2.1L/100km, over the first 100km when the battery is charged.

The CX-60 PHEV has a Type 2 charging port and has a maximum charging rate pf 7.2kW. Mazda claims it can be fully recharged in two and a half hours.

Both the 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol and diesel engines have a 58L fuel tank, whereas the 2.5-litre PHEV powertrain has a 50L fuel tank.

The 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine can consume 91 RON unleaded petrol or E10, whereas the 2.5-litre PHEV powertrain requires a minimum of 95 RON unleaded petrol.

Boot space is a claimed 477L including the underfloor storage space with the rear seats upright, and 1726L with the 40/20/40 folding rear bench sitting flat.

Models with the 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol and diesel engine equipped are fitted with a temporary steel spare wheel, whereas models with the 2.5-litre PHEV powertrain receive a repair kit instead.

Braked towing capacity for models with the 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine and the 2.5-litre PHEV powertrain is 2500kg, whereas models with the 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six diesel engine is 2000kg.

All models have an unbraked towing capacity of 750kg.

Servicing and Warranty

The high-voltage battery in the PHEV models is covered by an eight-year factory warranty, like the MX-30 Electric.

Logbook servicing for CX-60 models equipped with the 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine and 2.5-litre PHEV powertrain is required every 12 months or 15,000km.

Models equipped with the 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six diesel engine have service intervals of every 12 months or 10,000km.
