Popular family SUV updated with a $10,000 cheaper entry price: 2025 Mazda CX-60 adds two new grades to keep the BMW X3, Lexus NX and Audi Q5 at bay

Mazda has updated its popular CX-60 family SUV and added two additional grades, lowering the model’s entry price by more than $10,000.

Starting at the new price of $50,240 before on-road costs, the new entry-level Pure now spearheads the range with more stripped-back features compared to the previously base-spec Evolve, which is now followed by a more luxurious mid-range Touring.

As before, powertrain options remain the base turbo-petrol and the slightly more expensive but more fuel-efficient turbo-diesel, both of which use an in-line six-cylinder engine paired to a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Their outputs are 209kW/450Nm and 187kW/550Nm, respectively.

The most efficient plug-in hybrid (PHEV) utilises a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and a 17.8kWh battery pack that delivers a class-leading fuel efficiency of 2.1-litres/100km and a claimed pure electric range of 76km. Its outputs are 241kW/500Nm.

Mazda says it has improved ride comfort and handling across the range thanks to changes to the rear suspension setup, including a softer rear spring and firmer shock absorber settings.

The standard eight-speed automatic transmission has also been revised with smoother engine-to-electric motor transmissions and a wider gear range, according to the brand.

Starting with the new entry Pure grade, it carries 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a 10.25-inch multimedia display with wireless app connect, a 7.0- or 12.3-inch driver’s display (PHEV only), an eight-speaker audio system, cloth upholstery, dual-zone climate control, a leather steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, and a surround-view camera.

The Evolve standardises the 12.3-inch driver’s display, adds black synthetic leather upholstery, a remote operated tailgate, wireless charging, front cross traffic alert and cruising and traffic support, and a surround-view monitor with Mazda’s See-Through View.

It’s followed by the new Touring grade, which adds black leather seat trims with front passenger and driver heating, power and memory functions (driver), exterior mirror memory functions and a second-row console with an LED lamp.

The GT adds a larger 12.3-inch multimedia display, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, 20-inch black alloy wheels, body-coloured wheel arches and lower cladding, gloss black exterior mirrors and honeycomb grille, a panoramic sunroof, a hands-free tailgate, adaptive LED headlamps with GT signatures and some external “in-line 6” badging.

As the CX-60’s flagship, the Azami goes all out with 20-inch Black Metallic and machined alloy wheels, Black nappa leather upholstery including leather door trims, body-coloured exterior mirrors, an unique front bumper with bar-type grille, ventilated front seats and a foot lamp.

For an additional $2000, Azami customers can opt for Takumi or SP packaging, which adds alternative Nappa leather upholstery colours, interior trims and alloy wheel designs, among other adjustments.

The updated CX-60 is available now for purchase at Mazda dealers across the country.

Mazda has sold 1584 CX-60s as of March 2025, making it one of the best-selling semi-premium SUVs in the country. It leads rivals such as the BMW X5, Audi Q5 and Lexus NX.
