Mazda CX-60 PHEV - Pricey Mazda or Premium Bargain? (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

The Mazda CX-60 is a completely new model on the new Mazda Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture. The new platform underpinning the Mazda CX-60 is a rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive platform. It allows not only for a PHEV powertrain - a first for Mazda - but also implies longitudinal placement of the engine. This in turn allows the use of 6-cylinder inline motors. In some markets the Mazda CX-60 is already available with a straight-six diesel, and a straight-six petrol is in the cards as well.

I have one. A Mazda cx-60 PHEV. I love it. My wife has a new Q5 black edition and likes my car better. Mazda have upped there game with this car.
Always room for improvement but it’s now 100% in luxury SUV market.
If you’re looking for a luxury suv this has to be on your list of potentials. Excellent car!

[goncalo]

I disagree with most comments. It's a good looking car.

[petershorney]

Yes, the CX-60 looks great. The PHEV would work best for me.

In my MHEV 2023 2.0 non-turbo CX-5 Exclusive-Line with DAP, I can feel the battery recuperating the energy at 28 and 18 mph respectively. It happens as I ease off the accelerator and cruising to a stop. It doesn't do it all the time because i-Stop activates when the battery is fully charged at a standstill. The battery does kick in and boost acceleration, it is noticeable and also allows music from wireless Android Auto to be played without the engine started.
I have owned this from 2nd October 2023.
Best feature is the opening sunroof that allows the dumping of accumulated stale air without breathing in outside exhaust fumes. It's done in seconds and can be closed almost immediately.
I love the Jimba Ittai because everything is to hand. I am a disabled driver and the placement of everything feels so natural.
Next, I am looking at getting the CX-60 in Takumi spec and petrol.
I like Mazda, fell upon them by accident and haven't found anything that puts me off them yet.
Love your channel.

I don't think it's far fetched to say the interior is that of a an Audi/other Euro's. I think this is nicer than a lot of Audi's tbh. This is on the level of Mercedes and Genesis imho for interior premiumness/design.

[emanuelferreira]

Love the interior. Better than audi plastics. Exterior wise, got to go with the cx5

[MrGolden]

Initially I didn't like the exterior, but I liked it with time? The interior however is eye-pleasing. I overall like this car.

[efinch]

Great review. Can’t wait for the CX70 to hit the US😄

[aslnzzzrt]

Love the car! Love the design, quality and if you specced it in red…❤❤❤

[ericksonbyrd]

The CX-5 exterior design with the interior of this cx-60 and that i6 phev system would be GOAT 🐐

[rocketdreamer]

The car is clearly a new, modern project, daring but with common sense. The sophistication of the chassis is commendable and the courage to bring 6 inliners speaks for itself, meanwhile in the market V8s disappears and 4 inliners are branded prestigiously. I think Mazda should import also the cx 50 & 70 from the US.
I considered this car as a purchase and got interested into it lately. Unsurprisingly your review is the best I saw so far: being just an early bite, I really look forward for the main course. I think the hybrid powertrain could contemplate also a more modern petrol, already in the lineup elsewhere. The way Mazda follows looks akin to Volvo in seeking to raise brand profile from yesteryears stereotypes. And bravo, bravo, 👏 BRAVO!

[ianteh]

I ordered one, and am looking forward to its arrival.

[corbinsensei]

This car is so beautiful. Too bad we don’t have it in America.

[erikstenquist]

I had mine delivered a few weeks ago! Love the interior in Takumi trim, and the car looks much better in real life than on video or pictures. But the drivetrain is sometimes quite jerky albeit effective, and i hope this will be inproved in future software updates.

[RaduB.]

I am looking forward to the extended review. Even though I don't really care about SUVs, even less about luxury ones.
Interesting choice of engine layout for these days.
Unfortunately they succumbed to the trend of adding fake exhaust ports...

[cornbreads]

Great review! First time viewing your channel. Cheers from the states!

[bondjamesbond]

Marek you have at last reviewed a good car! The last three all had serious issues like reliability for one! I would love to see an updated Mazda 6 with the quality of the cx60. Well done 👍

[klasfard]

Like the infotainment, a bit firm suspension though (tested with 20")

[tibchy]

this is a car one would buy when loaded with money but wouldn't want to stand out

[zhkctwn]

The CX 60 seems to be placed quality wise between the Toyota Rav4 and Lexus NX.
