2023 Mazda CX-60 Review: THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!

[@markanderson3618]

I have one and I can confirm that you can change the settings to allow touchscreen operation in CarPlay or AA while moving.

[@TheAdatto]

Only in europe

[@arielfrancisleathem3280]

Can't say I've test driven one yet (very soon) however looking at pricing and spec sheets I would have to agree with you guys in saying my powertrain pick would be the diesel. In the line-up I would say the pick is the GT with vision package, 98% of the features of the azami for several thousand less. Love the fact that mazda has seamlessly integrated a large screen without it taking over the dashboard like many manufacturers are doing.

[@AshGrantASH8]

Dont go diesel if you travel less than 30 minute one way journeys, you will kill the engine within 2 years.

[@mildmethod]

The diesel tow capacity is 500kg less than the petrol.

[@exploringsydneyandbeyond9059]

Research the internal design of the Cx 60 diesel engine - I’d be staying well clear of it once you understand it’s complexity .

[@anubizz3]

@@exploringsydneyandbeyond9059You dont need to just look at CX5 diesel problem in Mazda forum.

[@chengchiwo]

I test drove both 3.3t petrol and 2.5 phev on urban roads last weekend. Exterior look is actually fantastic and Mazda red is shining out easily. The car is elegant and well-proportioned when you see it in person. Interior atmosphere is phenomenal. Material quality is definitely on par with most German luxury brands. Personally not a big fan of large screens as you mainly focus on road being the driver. Compared to cx5,. it’s also roomer inside and I sit comrtortably at the back (1.8m). The new (for Mazda) Para Sun roof is a must. In terms of driving, 3.3t petrol is puncher especially when it goes above 50km+ and its 6 cyclinders sounds more refined. 2.5 phev is ideal for low speed cruising at city as it seems handle lower speed better with ev assist. The ev experience is similar to toyota hybrid but then it’s a lot more powerful. When curising around town, you can’t say it’s an agile car given its weight but but body roll is well-controlled and steering is accurate. The only downside to me is the gear shifting - it’s quite vauge at lower speed and not as direct as it’s 6-speed auto ( yet not as hesitated as VW dsg nor Benz 7-speeds so it’s still doing fine). Also CX-60 suspension is on firmer side but then it's is not unacceptable when going through bumps. I also watched many US CX-90 reviews recently and it seems the above 2 issues are not as visible as CX-60 - am wondering if Mazda did some tweaks already. Overall it’s not prefect with some shortcomings but the 6 cyclinders engine setup defintely shines. For people who consider Lexus or Mercedes they should test drive and test it out. 3.3t GT range is about 73k drive away which is the bestbuy in its ranges.

[@silimarina.]

Mazda needs to add adaptive suspension to this car. Also, the new 8 speed transmission will probably get better with future software updates.

[@AndresSalazarAutos]

@@silimarina. I don't think Mazda would do that, they had that system in the 80s/90s and replacing shocks on this kind of suspension is waaay to expensive, I don't think it goes that well with their philosophy

[@pauld6556]

I was hoping you guys would do this car! I am well and true a Mazda fan boy having them for over the past 20 years, mainly Mazda 3 and CX-5. I went to a launch of this and it is truely an amazing car. I just find it’s oddly positioned in the Mazda line up. You would go CX-5 or soon to be CX-90. Although not mentioned from Mazda Australia, I would imagine CX5 would be ending its life in near future. Love your work boys! 👍 P.S the white finishes around the cabin- I can see my daughters CC chip fingers putting cheesey marks everywhere 🤣🤣

[@andrewward4246]

I'm confused... petrol and diesel "felt" faster but weren't faster on paper when tested... the PHEV was fastest and has the best fuel economy??? wouldn't that be the obvious choice?

[@sillycoffeedrinker]

Favourite power train - the PHEV because it qualifies as a low emissions vehicle therefore getting a FBT exemption. The diesel is the most responsive and pleasant to drive though.

[@Mattrycky]

That fbt exemption is so good. Makes this car quite reasonable

[@TheWahDeezy]

The fbt exemption is incredible… through novated lease, cost is comparable to a 45-50k car. Not sure why more people aren’t talking about this

[@michaelanthony5441]

Living in North America I have to say I am very envious as it's not available to our market.. I currently have a 2016 CX9 Signature and she has been perfect from day one. As I am the only one now I wanted to downsize but, nothing in the American Mazda market is really grabbing me like the CX-60.. size, power, value. I thought maybe CX5 but, does nothing for me especially looking at this one.. good review. Enjoy!

[@timw2083]

North America is supposed to get the CX70. Originally it was rumored to be very similar to this CX60

[@michaelanthony5441]

@@timw2083 Thanks I heard the same but, also heard it will have the same specs as the CX-90 but, instead of the 3rd row it will be a 5 passenger...

[@timw2083]

@@michaelanthony5441 I heard it from a salesman in Alabama, I hope he's wrong. The CX60 looks to be the perfect size. The CX90 is simply too big for my garage.

[@michaelanthony5441]

@@timw2083 You and I are in the same boat. I won't even park my CX9 in the garage. I have also heard recently the 70 would be between the 60 and 90 in size which maybe I could live with but, I want to be sure. My holding on to my CX-9 rides on the 70. As much as I love the 90 it is not practical for me.

[@aakashneupnae7373]

​@@michaelanthony5441 I think the CX70 is based on a wide body platform (for the American markets) like the CX90 but smaller in length while the CX60 is based upon a narrow body platform similar to the CX80. Markets usually will get the CX70/CX90 (like America) or the CX60 and CX80 (like Asia/Europe). Australia is unique in that it gets the CX60/CX80 but also the CX90 probably because Mazda sells a lot here.

There is a setting to allow touch screen all the time for Android/Apple. Have it switched on myself.

Would be great if Mazda put that Turbo Diesel 6 into the BT-50, would be a sales hit.

[@notagamer9557]

You’d think the petrol V6 would sound the best but it’s actually the hybrid, that supercharge whine sound

[@letsseeif]

Would you please introduce the speed test of 80 to 120/130 for passing B Doubles. I believe it's far more important than 0 to 100 which very few do except for hoons or on a drag strip?

[@letsseeif]

[ps. I know 130KPH is beyond speed limits (except for the NT) but passing safely in view of on-coming vehicles I see as essential before returning to 110kph.]

[@brytonmunro5270]

70-130 km/hr is rated to take 6.8 seconds for the 2.5 PHEV model. 0-60 is 5.9. 80-120 is 3.9 seconds. In the 3.3L model it accomplishes 80-120 km/hr in 5.3 seconds. 0-60 is 6.5 seconds.

They really do not look like any other SUV in their lineup. Cx-50 is wider proportionately. Cx-5 is not even close to size and does not have the swoopy part by the rear wheels or the side "intake" by the front wheels.

[@Donavon551]

I see the car doesn't absorb bumps and potholes well judging by the speed test footage. Does anyone know Which SUV has a decent suspension system where you don't feel the whole car jump when driving over rough terrain?

[@davidmenzies9270]

what I'm struggling to understand is the different gears that the diesel and the petrol reach 100kmh in, Mazda show both have the same gear ratios and final drive (the plugin does have a different final drive)- how can that be?

The door close "thunk" actually sounded rattly. Overall, nice RWD proportions make this tempting. I dislike the upswept side window at the rear. Wish the rear pillar looked like the CX90.This isn't available in the US yet, but I'll be considering it. I do wish they'd do an HO version of that six.

[@topthecat2259]

Mazda have an bespoke suspension tune for the Australian market; they tested it extensively there unlike the quick release they did in Europe.

[@markanderson3618]

I’m with the Carsauce guys here. I have the PHEV and was concerned before delivery about the ride, based on UK reports. Not to worry. The ride is definitely firm. Firmer than my previous XC60, but not as firm as my BMW X3 M40i. Mazda tends towards a sportier ride than others such as Lexus, but having driven the NX450H+, the Mazda is far better imho. The Mazda ride won’t suit everyone, but that’s fine. I love it.

GV70 or the CX60? What say you?

[@lowkeyconvert8971]

these guys have never been to japan and it shows as well as knowing very little about japanese culture. if you look at a lot of the things that japanese people make, like their knives (saws, etc.) for example, which are lauded in the chef & tool-making world (long history of samurai sword making, etc.) and their approaches to making things, they take their time and it's of a very high quality. i don't understand why everything has to be compared with germany because they are not the only culture synonymous with producing quality.

[@rustykilt]

At over $90K, the top of the line CX-60 is beyond most budgets and have to wonder if it is good value. Many of the features of the top of the line CX-60 were already standard on a KIA sorento GT LINE at $20K less.

[@janssenbanayat7234]

Nice review Luka Doncic mavs 4ever

[@alexhan4768]

Test drove both petrol and diesel. Engine: petrol is more refined but not punchy with huge turbo lag; diesel pulls hard if you push really really hard, not refined quite noisy, also with huge turbo lag. Transmission: very lazy unit, old 6-speed auto in CX-30 is way more responsive than this 8-speed multi-clutch. Chassis: not agile, cannot feel it is rear-wheel biased AWD. Suspension and tires: need better tunning, the suspension is soft but the tires are quite hard, they are not cohesive. not agree with some reviewers about the stiffness of the damper, they are ok. Car: way too heavy and very bad body control, you feel unsafe with huge body roll if you push through some tight corners. Conclusion: maybe more premium than the cx5 on the surface, but way worse than the cx5 when you drive. Autogefühl is right, they need to rework hard on this car in the future, it is very premature if purchase it now

I got mine 2mnds now. The hybrid system is kind of useless for vacation. Gas mileage is then 7.6L per 100km. The rear suspension is VERY bad. You have to take speed bumps with 20km/h or otherwise everything in the back almost hit the roof. Apart from that it's a great car if the weather is good. Heavy rain or snow will mess up the i-sense aids and camera's giving an returning error every 10seconds

[@robleal9755]

Been waiting for this car for months. So disappointing that in South Africa we only get 2 models both with 2.5l naturally aspirated powerplants. Boring! Don't even get a choice of wheel sizes and interior very bland. Not tempted away from BMW.... at least not in SA.

The reverse is also true, do not fall into the trap of buying a phev if your journey is over 40 miles and you cannot charge in both ends of the journey. Also make sure you have enough time at each location to charge (30 minutes - 5 hours to 80% depending on model), otherwise your mpg will suffer terribly and you are better off with a diesel.
