New 2024 Mazda CX-60 Review (Straight 6 Diesel) | BM-Double-Who?

Today on Buckle Up, Harry and Rob test the new Mazda CX-60 which turned out to be a bit of a surprise. With a straight six diesel engine and ‘bread van’ good looks, this entry into the premium SUV space is very compelling indeed.
Up against rivals like the BMW X3, Mercedes GLC, Audi Q5, Range Rover Velar, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail, Volvo XC60, Tesla Model Y, Ford Kuga, Vauxhall Grandland, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson.

When Harry said “Mazda never made a car in this space … and everybody stopped and Mazda “said” there is a niche there” ….. replicates what they did with the MX5 …

[@BuckleUpShow]

Very true, let's see if this has similar staying power

[@juliuschristophertria3018]

When you were driving and said you can’t explain how it feels, I think that’s what the Mazda engineers said about the rider and the horse becoming one. Love your review on this one, and yes, I love diesel SUVs.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Are you considering buying one?

[@MrVroom1]

I think these are excellent. The higher trim levels look genuinely premium and Mazda have really gone to town on the interior. The 6 cylinder diesel engine only further adds to its appeal.

[@BuckleUpShow]

It’s an incredibly compelling package

[@robwilson7189]

This is excellent for anyone who wants a new car, but who doesn’t like the issues new cars come with.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Indeed

[@craigyjp]

Really, how do you explain the harsh ride, failing technology, dangerous lane assist that fights the driver, rattles from everywhere and now a failed Aircon within 10 months. This car is terrible in every way.

[@tonyboy7837]

You have got to be joking.You definitely work for this company

[@香港製造-b8f]

The amount of nonsense EV cars out there is absolutely a waste of time. Big displacement of diesel enigne that works well for long cruising is king. When fuelling up, it's a matter of a minute or two. Not spending hours looking for a plug! Owning a ev is an absolute nightmare

[@BuckleUpShow]

It depends on what you need your car for, for a lot of people an EV works well, but there are still many people for who they don't work at all

[@scottgordon2688]

@@BuckleUpShow Yep. Great for some (including me) but depends on individual needs and circumstances. If you're in a position to have a home charger, that's a game changer! Easier and more convenient than having to visit a petrol/diesel station.

[@香港製造-b8f]

@scottgordon2688 fair point, and having a home charger the good thing is you know whether the charger works or not. No need to guess or try

[@doyleyj3460]

I have this car in Coral Red Metallic. It looks fabulous and it's still rare which I like. But. The ride is not good enough for what is supposed to be a premium car. On our potholed roads it crashes and bounces around. On smooth roads its great to drive with loads of power for overtaking. I am getting over 54mpg. A much better car than the PHEV version.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Did you get the big wheels?

[@doyleyj3460]

20 inch but high wall tyres. Strange combination of bounce and crash on potholed roads. Smooth and quiet elsewhere.

[@pocoyomc]

I was seriously considering this as it looks lovely on the road and as it's new, there are not many on the roads. What is putting me off on buying one is the ride comfort over our horrible UK roads. Mazda do make luxurious interiors.

[@craigyjp]

It's a terrible car for ride quality, our roads are far worse than the UK and it's awful. Worst car Ive ever owned and now my air con has failed after 10 months

[@Uzaair]

Mazda are offering a free suspension upgrade and software update for the transmission to fix the ride issues

[@BuckleUpShow]

This one rode very well

[@Uzaair]

@@BuckleUpShow may have already come from the factory with the upgrades. Then again, ride is subjective so who knows lol

[@craigyjp]

Strange my dealer tells me there are no fixes to the harsh ride and terrible low revs gearbox

[@tonyboy7837]

@@Uzaair you make it sound like they're doing you a favour. If they were a done it right in the first place, they will have to do this

[@byronnightingale5550]

Shts on batteries big time. This is practical beyond any battery junk.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Until diesel is outlawed

[@byronnightingale5550]

​@@BuckleUpShow Petrol trucks could not deliver heavy loads without costing a sht tonne of petrol to run and had no low rpm peak power to do what the diesel engine does with relative ease. So petrol trucks faded out and ceased to exist. Un-economical and impractical. Petrol hybrid trucks? That's going to be a joke. Let's see those things pull a heavy load up a hill. Battery-powered trucks running off batteries charged with windmill power? solar panels? hydroelectric? geothermic? Impractical. Tractors running on petrol? hybrids? Electric tractors? More shts and giggles than a million in cash can buy. The wokies are going to learn a very bitter lesson when the supermarket shelves are bare.

[@tonyboy7837]

I have the CX60 petrol and it is a load of rubbish

[@BuckleUpShow]

The diesel might be more up your street

[@tonyboy7837]

Unfortunately I have wasted enough money on this company. I have lost half the value of my vehicle already no one wants them

[@craigyjp]

Me too, the engine is great, the rest of the car let's it down, suspension is awful and now my air con has failed

[@craigyjp]

Steer clear of the Mazda CX-60, terrible car, harsh ride and many faults and rattles. I wish I'd never bought one. My air con failed today.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Then you clearly care more about having big wheels than a comfortable ride. This one was delightfully comfortable.

[@craigyjp]

@@BuckleUpShow actually the tyres have very high walls, I brought this up with a tyre specialist and I drove a 2024 SanteFe today with 21" wheels and it was super comfortable. I even drove over the same broken roads to test it on the test drive. Shows how I'll informed you are.

[@craigyjp]

@@BuckleUpShow I understand wheel and tyre comfort, I had an Audi S7 on 21" wheels, dropped to 20" and the ride was so much better without spoiling the look of the car.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Yes, we’re super ‘I’ll informed’. You got us there.

[@craigyjp]

It clearly shows, just because you have a KZbin channel doesn't mean you know what you are talking about.

[@igora.aleksandrov4682]

Not a touch screen? Plenty of space in the console? Make some effort to know the car and know what you’re talking about. Waste of my time turning this on.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Both of those things are true on UK cars

[@mvnorsel6354]

Diesel is so yesterdays fuel.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Not if you own a caravan

[@byronnightingale5550]

Batteries are going that way.

[@WestonMike]

Diesel? You having a laugh? No wonder it's overlooked. Good job too. Stinky things. 🤢

[@BuckleUpShow]

Diesel is vital if you're towing unless you want massive v-a million petrol engine which drinks fuel, and it's still the most economical way to travel a long distance

[@byronnightingale5550]

BS. Modern diesel powertrains are far cleaner than batteries. Where do the virgin materials come from? Toxic mines, child labour, hmm. Where do old EV batteries go? I bet they are not recycled to the extent one might imagine. A mild hybrid battery will take less of these toxic materials at the least, unlike those overweight batteries in EVs. all this battery stuff is contributing to trouble. Too much EV kool-aide maybe?
