Since 2016 Mazda has been on this unstoppable upward trend. Love their product!

[jordibioscacamps]

I’m an owner of a Cx60 diesel 254hp. I’ve just arrived from Germany to Catalonia and it has only consummed an impresive 5.6 litres. This could be another important difference between both cars that I wish to be compared in a further video test. The only thing I can say is that I’m really happy and satisfied. The sound of the doors does’nt cost 20k, mainly if you don’t have and X3 to compare them. 😉😉😉

[calamityyy]

Mazda CX-60 looks so good from every angle. If I was in the market for this kind of car, the CX-60 would definitely be my pick.

[hushmotor]

This review must be seriously, and happily received by Mazda engineers, and they will improve things as possible as they can, in relatively short period.
As a Japanese, I can’t wait how far Mazda can go!😀

[erikstenquist]

I think you are spot on regarding the Mazda; a little to stiff, a little jerky transmission, and vonderfull interior! I have driven mine 30000km for nearly a year and I love it, average fuel consumption is 2, 7L/100km. In Sweden there is a waranty of 10 years or 150000km that Volvo or the germans cannot match, so easy pick for me!

[cmartin_ok]

I'm really disappointed that Thomas is choosing his trousers to match the colour of the cars he is given to test, instead of the manufacturers supplying their cars in Thomas Blue

[bobmarley]

Mazda for me... Its much rarer and just looks more unique... Plus I have always liked mazda reliability and build quality... Especially the 3 litre diesel will be absolutely fantastic...

[rudy]

Both cars are great. The battery is noticeable bigger in the Mazda and 55 to 65 km can be achieved specially if the car is not totally new. I have complained to the dealer about the road noise and the suspension being on the stiff side. They replaced the 4 shock absorbers added insulation to the doors and made a bunch of software updates. It runs smoother, it became more silent. The transmission still does some strange things on low speed but very rarely. Seems that Mazda is trying hard to perfect their CX-60.

[PaulMeier-cuds]

I watched this review with especial interest because it more or less repeats a trade off I made earlier this year. I found the review a great detailed comparison. In my case I chose the Mazda CX60 PHEV because the BMW did not appear to me to offer €17k worth of extra premium. The BMW is clearly the better car as Thomas rightly concludes but not €17k better. So at what price point premium would I choose the BMW. At a €5k premium the BMW would be a no brainer, but where between €5k and €10k would tip the balance? At over €10k the Mazda is the clear winner for my circumstances, especially as I am able to make heavy use of its somewhat better EV range and charge at home (with PV renewables).

What this comparison does help us do is ask what premium characteristics are enough and at what price? I think this will set a natural upper limit on how far premium brands can continue to move upmarket without regard to price in pursuit of profit. Before long they are going to have to return to doing more with less, if only because Asia led by China is coming if not already here.

A final point is that if the comparison had been made with the comparable Mercedes instead of the BMW, the Mercedes would have lost even at zero price premium based on its completely unworkable interior UI/UX experience.

I have owned both BMW and Mazda cars. When it comes to driving, Mazda easily does better than most other brands, but BMW is still way more refined. CX-60 is a great alternative to X3.

[hokieplaya]

Mazda has really stepped up their game!

[maedhros]

I am a very BMW fan, but these Mazdas really look good, with great quality.

[gettcouped]

Holy cow, what is this world coming to. 80k for a non M X3. THAT’S INSANE. What will be the breaking point because people can’t afford these things.

[BigBoss-tklh]

Great video, , for me as a 2015 cx5 owner i will take mazda any day because i really know what reliability means, , mine now is 145k miles and strong to go, , the bmw is great no doubt, ,

[lokekaryew]

Excellent review. It was a comprehensive and objective one indeed. In particular the summary at the end highlighting the strength & weakness of both vehicles. 👍

[aygeeninty]

I guess the pricing and engine options vary depending on country. But in Australia the Mazda is so much cheaper like 20k and that is also with 3.3 inline 6 turbo vs a 2.0 4 cylinder BMW. Its even cheaper than 3 cyliner BMW X1.

[chuckmak]

Tomas I am just glad you keep doing this type of comparison video. Love also you are taking your love one along the ride

[bobby]

6 cylinder diesel is a huge win for mazda
