Mazda CX-60 review: Plug-in SUV with price, spec and performance to challenge premium players
Visually, the biggest Mazda ever sticks with the brand’s Kodo design language, which is all about simple flowing lines without unnecessary embellishments. At first glance that gives it the appearance of a scaled-up. But closer inspection reveals design touches that are unique to the CX-60 - from the deeper, bolder grille to the way the running lights are incorporated into the metallic “signature wing” that runs around the grille.
They say you should play to your strengths and Mazda has done that with the clean elegant exterior design and likewise its usual focus on high-grade materials and a user-friendly design inside.The cabin is not as much a temple to technology as the BMW X3 or Audi Q5 but is more akin to thes simple and calm approach. A few select materials exhibit Mazda’s focus on quality and the layout is clear and logical.
The CX-60’s extra size over the CX-5 is apparent from the amount of space for passengers. There is impressive leg and shoulder room in the rear seats to match the space for those up front. Even with the optional panoramic roof there’s also plenty of headroom, emphasising the airy feel of the cabin.
The system offers a combined 323bhp and 369lb ft, making it the most powerful roadgoing Mazda, with a 0-60mph time of 5.8 seconds. Despite such performance, official tests put the CX-60’s economy at 188mpg and CO2 emissions at 33g/km - both of which should be taken with a healthy dose of real-world scepticism. All versions of the CX-60 are four-wheel-drive and feature an eight-speed automatic transmission.
