The CX-60 Touring is another new version of the largish, medium-sized SUV from Japan.
Launched in May, 2025, it features significantly updated suspension and transmission calibrations, amongst other items, to help address ride-comfort and smoothness issues in the longitudinal-engined, rear-drive-biased Mazda all-wheel-drive SUV.
With the Touring listed at $58,240 before on-road costs, it isn’t cheap, but equipment levels are robust, with leather materials inside and heated/powered front seats featuring a driver’s side memory function. They add to the Evolve’s bag of items, like a 360-degree view camera with ground-view monitor, parking sensors, keyless entry/start, 12.3-inch touchscreen, a wireless charger, powered tailgate, dual-zone climate control, head-up display, satellite navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio, tyre-pressure monitors, traffic sign recognition tech, folding/heated exterior mirrors and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Among the standard rollcall of advanced driver-assist safety items are Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), blind-spot monitoring, vehicle exit warning, lane-departure, lane-assist and lane-keep tech, front cross-traffic alert, forward obstruction warning, rear cross-traffic alert, turn-across traffic alert, Cruising/Traffic Support (that assists drivers in slow-moving traffic with automatic accelerator, brake and steering control to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead), adaptive cruise-control, LED headlights with auto high beams, a see-through view front camera and driver-attention alert. Eight airbags are also present. A five-star ANCAP crash-test rating was achieved back in 2022.
Under the bonnet is a choice of engines.
The most popular in Australia is expected to be the G40e, using a 3.3-litre in-line six-cylinder (I6) turbocharged petrol engine. Pumping out 209kW of power and 450Nm of torque, it averages 7.4L/100km for 174g/km of carbon-dioxide emissions on the combined cycle.
There is also a turbo-diesel version of this 3.3L I6. Badged as the D50e, produces 187kW and 550Nm, uses 5.0L/100km on average for 132g/km, and adds just $2000 to the Mazda’s asking price.
Finally, there is the P50e – a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that is based around Mazda’s venerable 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. It adds a 129kW electric motor and a 17.8kWh Lithium ion battery, making 241kW and 500Nm, for a combined average of 2.1L/100km, a CO2 figure of 49g/km, 2380km of distance between petrol fill-ups and 76km of EV range.
As with all large Mazda SUVs nowadays, an eight-speed, wet-plate-clutch automatic transmission drives all four wheels.
