Mazda CX-60 Review: Is it good enough for the premium segment?

Mazda is taking a big leap into untestested territory with the new CX-60. It aims to try its hand as a premium manufacturer competing with the likes of the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and even the Range Rover Evoque.
The CX-60 has all the makings of a great car with rear-wheel-drive architecture and a luxury interior, but has Mazda South Africa brought the right version to our market? We tested the CX-60 Dynamic model to see what it's like to drive, how practical it is and whether there is enough spec to make it appealing to a premium customer.

I completely agree with Mazda about touch screens. Glad someone has taken a stance. And kept real buttons and knobs.

[@user-nc9ib7fk5h]

I've just had a new 3.3 litre diesel CX60 Takumi. Wow what a car. Well done Mazda

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

The mild hybrid inline-six diesel CX-60 we get in Europe produces 184kW and 550Nm of torque. It can achieve a fuel economy of 5.3 litres per 100km.

[@hopewellnzuza]

@@jasonbrown1263 Couldn't have agreed more.

[@SDav21]

@@jasonbrown1263 Totally agree. VW managed to make a great first Gen Amarok all on their own. Why did they need Ford for their new one? It makes no sense. I went to check out the new Amarok. The doors open with such a cheap feel like a Ford and interior build and material quality isn't as good as a normal VW product. It feels very Ford and that's not a good thing. Mazda made a big mistake to not offer the i6 engines here though.

[@farainyika2365]

I have the KF 2.2D Akera. I easily get around 5L/100km with the diesel. Hybridsare just heavy and take away the fun i driving. That said that 2.5 petrol engine is gutless. Horrible engine. Avoid at all costs

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@farainyika2365 We don’t have the 2.5 petrol in the CX-60 in Europe. But I think it is offered in the CX-5. Plus, the 3.3 diesel is a mild hybrid, where you have a bit of electric support.

[@hopewellnzuza]

After the partnership with Ford, Mazda has just become a much better product which makes you wonder what took them so long? Mazda has one of the best interior build quality which feels better than other more expensive premium segment vehicles. Mazda needs to bring the diesel engine to SA and it will sell just as well as the Mazda CX-5, we South Africans love our diesels.

[@keithmatthias4348]

The August edition of Car Magazine carries an interview with Craig Roberts, MD of Mazda SA. In that he refers to the CX-60 getting the 3,3 l turbo diesel “it’s now just a case of waiting our turn for allocation” More interesting though is the yet to be released CX-80 is “likely to join the local portfolio in the first quarter of 2024”. Guess it will be above the R1 million mark though. My Wife has the CX-5 2,2 diesel Akera. More than enough shove from that engine with 140 kW and 450 Nm. Should have used that motor in the CX-60. Same power but more torque than what the 2 litre diesel BMW X3 and Audi Q5 have. Build quality superb with zero problems in over 2 years of ownership. Lastly Mazda SA needs to look at a maintenance plan in its top products or at least offer as an option.

[@paulvictor9368]

The 6. Cylinder diesel is the pick in Australia! Top engine!

[@Mkhehla]

It's weird but I don't think the engine is such a bad trade-off for that price, and that warranty + service plan are worth tens of thousands in value! I would happily buy that kind of peace of mind. I'm not sold on its looks but that interior is classy👌🏾

[@NJ728]

Great car, and being a Mazda the quality will be up there. Just a pity Mazda SA aren't willing to bring in all the various engines and trim levels. They did the same with the BT50and it's suffering. Nothing against N/A engines especially on the reliability front but give people a choice!!

[@mbusonzimande7717]

I totally agree. Even with the Mazda 3, overseas they sell a version thats a Golf GTI competitor.

[@NJ728]

​@mbusonzimande7717 that Mazda3 looks too good, it deserves a potent engine like they offer it overseas. I agree with you 100%. SA deserves the best Mazda has to offer

[@boitumelomatsho6874]

[@robdearham540]

[@keamomaluta6169]

Thank youu!!! Especially on the "giving people a choice part"- I like Mazda but I highly respect BMW because they'll never restrict certain model offerings from the S.A. market - they give people a choice to pick.

[@boitumelomatsho6874]

As much as I appreciate new tech, I honestly miss the cd player!

[@paballomogorosi1936]

This is really good car. I would even consider upgrading to from my CX-5. Just a pity though about the sluggish engines that we are always offered here in SA.

[@josephbondjobo4012]

Totally agree but because of the engine I don’t think upgrading is worth it. It is almost same performance with CX5

[@khensanimashego6671]

just did last month..loved the CX5...but I had to do it, so far its heaven.❤

[@boipeloloeto145]

I drive a Mazda 2 2015 model and the handling is quite nifty, have found myself in unfavorable unforeseen situations and it handled amazingly that It made me look like a pro driver… still smiling as type this out. 2018 I got into the BMW x2 and that being a BMW I pushed it seeking out that exhilarating experience since my M2( Mazda2😂) could tackle that curve with ease every time I’m running late going to work. Was I not disappointed as the x2 under steered at lesser speeds so bad that the product specialist told me that it does not have the X drive which would enhance the handling 🤦🏽‍♂️😒. Jumping into the CX-5, it handles like a smaller car than it is. The point I’m trying to make is, until the German car lovers jump into a Mazda, no matter how brand loyal or status driven they might be, they will acknowledge Mazda’s engineering even if they wouldn’t do it openly so. It’s truly a let down that we don’t get much options in as far as interior and engine specs are concerned which truly limits the amount of customers MAZDA has and can easily win over from other brands offering a bit more variety. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love a Mazda Speed 2/3 to rival the Ford fiesta and Focus, the GTi and try the club sport 😂🤷🏽‍♂️ and with the CX-5 and now 60 to rival the X3M and X5… reading it I know it sounds too ambitious but Mazda has the experience and technology. What’s holding them back, only they can tell. If they are worried about the price range, Haval went looney and they presented their H6 GT at the current price range which we all feel is premature however you bump into quite a lot on the streets, so, it’s being bought despite the price range. Mazda is a much prominent brand and will do just fine. They should stop limiting our pockets as South Africa is a country known to spend on more expensive brands with high price tags. The higher the price the better (which I don’t understand 😅but would do as well 😂).

[@keamomaluta6169]

Only if @MazdaSA would take their customers concerns seriously, bro😮‍💨 I would honestly own the CX-60 if we had the Inline-6 Europe variant here in S.A. shem 🤞

[@ShawnColeman01]

I wish they had imported the 4WD Mazda 2 Skyactiv, which is only available in Japan :(

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

I would just save my money and buy a preowned CX5 akere diesel with similar power This car doesn’t make much sense in SA market However, it being rear driven is quite different for a SUV of this nature 😮 Value for money is important and that warranty and service plan will bring sales reps thinking it’s time to get premium car and run it cheap for long 😂 Nice one Ash🎉

[@AUmarcus]

We don't get this model in Australia....only the two inline turbo 6's and hybrid.

[@lesediseemela9856]

The diesel engine in CX5 Akera, is more powerful than this one. I think they should have gone with that one and give it an extra 20kw to make it 160kw. I think then things would have been better.

[@000T00b]

As a happy Mazda CX-5 owner I’m not liking the front lights which looks a bit retro to me. The rear looks good but in a generic kind of a way, while interior looks and quality as well as driving experience are typical Mazda strong points. However, like another commenter said, I would also go for the Haval H6 GT whose looks and presence set it apart nicely from the others. This car deserves a more eye-catching paint colour and engine. The 2.5 litre turbo sounds like the one sold as standard with CX-5s sold in overseas markets, whereas here in SA we have to make do with the weak 2.0 litre NA engine. On the other hand, the fuel economy out of the 2.0 litre NA engine is excellent - Mazda engines are really efficiently engineered as my personal experience shows.

[@mazibukomail]

Haval fuel efficiency will break your bank.

[@sibusisombhele3880]

oh man what an awesome car, for me I would wait for the diesel or The Hybrid but then again the price will jump to the German car range you still winning with spec.

[@frankexbelgium]

Have my PHEV (with the 4 cilinder 2,5 liter petrol engine) for a few months now and I must say that I can't find any (mayor) flaws. I can' t compare with other "premium " cars but overall I don't miss anything on this car. The way it drives, the comfort and what I use it for, confirmes my feeling that I bought the best value for money "premium" SUV.

[@Kopsnkops]

Personally I’d wait for the i6 petrol if they would even offer that in SA. I’m disappointed in the spec that we get in SA. We don’t get the higher trim models that are offered in EU nor the engines. I’d kinda forgive Mazda SA for that coz the price would be at the million rand mark, and I don’t think SA consumers are ready to take a Mazda over a BMW or Audi

[@rodneyemmerich8828]

Same as the CX5 , no power , no torque and thirsty , very underwhelming , very well built though . This car doesn't stand a chance against the competition in SA

[@Lucky-wi5oo]

It won't sell here in SA, not with those power figures and that price. If manufacturers continue to send cars with underpowered enginens their sales will suffer. We have so many options these days, instead of buying that I could just get myself a nice luxury bakkie or a second hand BMW X3.

[@tshepoboroko2920]

I'm trying to like how the front looks, but I'm failing. A big fan of the rotary dial, less fingerprints of the screens. Sadly most manufacturers are doing away with them

[@Carscoza]

Some people prefer touch some don't. It's good that Mazda has taken the stance of not having a touchscreen.

[@SDav21]

[@nils-christianmeltzer2182]

I bought one CX-60 PHEV Humora in Sweden September 2022 with all xtra you can get! It’s been at the workshop 10 times under a year………….. I had to fight with reseller for them to take it back! And they refused, too many cars in the courtyard…..and too many incoming cars!!! I couldn’t trust the car any more and back and forth to workshop! All the joy disappeared for the car! After I involved Mazda Sweden they finally agreed to buy it back and of course a big loss of money for me. But the problem is gone! Once a Mazda never again!! So maybe I got a “Monday Copy” but it’s up to you!

[@raymondgrieger9267]

Nothing wrong with Ash but where’s Ciro gone?

[@__SM__1]

Having driven the CX-5 for 5 years which comes with rotary dial and touch, you wont believe me how intuitive the rotary dial is. I never used my touch screen, perhaps only to show features to visitors. So don't see it as a downside. Rotary is intuitive and comes naturally instead of leaning over to touch a screen while driving.

[@khensilenkanyani1797]

It's nice car,better brakes as well but I'm not a fan of the current engine,I love my 2.2 Diesel.

[@mrmashao]

I love mazda interiors and exteriors, but their engines are the reason I can't buy or recommend it. Hopefully, one day, they will respect the SA market and give us more engines' choices.

[@artdentallab705]

[@jmedical-rsa4290]

Bought the cx-60 in February 2024 now experiencing engine failure in less than 5000km

[@Michael_0589]

What about disengaging the touch screen when the car is in drive and have a touch screen when the vehicle is stationary?

[@Carscoza]

It's a possible solution, but expect to see a lot of Mazda drivers distracted when the lights turn green :)

[@JoshuanTruda]

To put this into perspective with a proven japanese luxury car slightly bigger than this, you can get a certified pre owned Lexus RX350 still in warranty and most are fitted with a 7 year motorplan for this price, where'll you get way more features like nappa leather ventilated seats, 10 airbags, and a way punchier 220kw V6 engine, which will only get slightly worse fuel economy as it doesn't have to work as hard as this big mazda being lugged around by a NA 4 cylinder.

[@zeed5764]

... And it's a Lexus. They look amazing and futuristic in comparison, so they will age better. The Mazda already looks like it's from a previous generation.

Mazda SUV’s are confusing me. The naming convention ,eg cx 3 vs cx 30 ,

[@jivantakirstenpillay6128]

I'm sure the only reason why we not getting the nice powered motors is pricing. It would push towards 1million mark, and its still has to be affordable being a Mazda. Ok, so we just got our CX-60 Dynamic for 2 weeks now and my driving experience is somewhat different. This car is much much heavier than our previous CX5 and can be felt on the brake pedal, it could do with upgraded Brakes considering the weight of the car. Also, the car feels very floaty and wallowy over uneven surfaces and on bends, and it is rather stiff on the bumps. Almost feels like a car riding on lowered springs except you not but wheels are larger @ 235/50/20 so the lower profile tyre isn't helping the ride comfort much. Going over bumps it seems to bounce like the shock is worn or there is an issue with shock/spring combo used on theses cars, there is not enough dampening. One would think that the drive would be more comfortable over the CX5, and it is not. I hope there will be a recall soon for better shocks. Other than the ride, the car is lovely. Fuel consumption for me so far is 11L/100km so its heavier than the claimed 7.7.

[@biggeststeppa1]

There's talk of the 2.5 PHEV in 2024. Given how much the 2.5 AWD costs (R850k) - the PHEV will certainly approach R950k to R1m which is steep and will absolutely push the price of CX-80 to ~R1.2m.

[@antonioporra7210]

South Africa's amazing landscape apart from the vehicle.

[@SDav21]

While this may be good, good isn't good enough and I think Mazda slightly missed the boat. A few things: 1) Premium is also all about choice. The screen should be both touch and have the controller like in the X3 or previous Gen GLC. And if touch only, then the screen should be larger and designed for touch use in the UI to start with like the new GLC. 2) they say no touch screen is for safety reasons and I 100% agree. However, why didn't they do what they did with the Mazda 3 and make the touch function only available when the vehicle is stationary. Also, if they're so worried about safety, then all safety features should be standard even on the base model 3) this engine is unacceptable and plays more in the Rav4, CX5 segment. Not the GLC, X3, Q5 segment. 4) They should pay more attention to some details like the feel of the door handles when you open the door and the door closing sound (this was a criticism from the Autogefühl channel). 5) the infotainment system and software looks dated already. It can't match the level of the X3 and GLC. Even Chery and Haval infotainment systems seem better.

[@zeed5764]

I agree. It's definitely not competition for the X3 or GLC. Compared to the Sportage or even the Tucson, it lacks in the appeal department. In 3 years, those cars will still look modern whereas the Mazda looks like it already is from a previous generation. I wonder how the seat proportions are on this one.. I found the CX 3 and CX 5 to have rather small seats for the size of the car. Some of the things the Japanese do a little weirdly. The interior is just OK. Also previous generation vibes.

[@nkosanamlotshwa1044]

Good car but not worth the money, engine is under powered and not enough to justify the R749k asked for the base model they should at least add safety features AEB, LKA, LCA and rear and front cross traffic alert. The Haval H6 Luxury 2WD at R516k gives you that and has more or less similar power.

[@michaelnance8319]

Mazda wants a premium brand. Then they should create a new sub company like the three big Japanese Automaker. Toyota, Honda, Nissan etc. Mazda needs to take the CX 70 to Europe and bring the CX 60 to North America. Otherwise keep improving on the CX 5 and make it even more like the Advanced MDX Acura for less money and more value and more premium.

[@funkdunk]

Anybody who buys any Mercedes or Range Rover (which is Indian not British) needs their head read, Mazda's price point unfortunately is outrageous and typically they introduce the wrong vehicle into this segment. Their BT-50 should be selling hand over fist, as it does in Australia, yet it doesn't muster more than 10 per month versus the overrated, under specced, odd styling Hilux @ 3000 + per month.Mazda continues to shoot itself in the foot by sending in the troops to fight the specialists, it should have had the best engine, the best interior and then it would knock the socks off the other contenders. Mazda is a premium vehicle and should be a top seller sadly it isn't.
