On Mazda’s march to become more upmarket, the SUVs have of course been the first to get the ‘premium’ treatment, with the CX-60 one of a few new SUV models headed to Australia to offer a more expensive - and Mazda hopes more Euro-rivalling - option for customers.
Available with either a petrol or diesel twin-turbo 3.3-litre inline six-cylinder or a plug-in hybrid-assisted four-cylinder engine, the CX-60 is more expensive than the brand’s popular mid-size SUV, the CX-5.
The line-up currently starts at $44,240 for the CX-60 G25 Pure and ranges through to $89,050 for the range-topping CX-60 P50E Azami Sp Phev.
The CX-60’s cabin focuses on premium design and simple ergonomics.
Materials range from black cloth in the Pure to black synthetic leather and proper leather in higher trims.
The Azami offers available Tan or Pure White Nappa options.
Dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting (Azami only) and a 12.3-inch digital display enhance comfort and technology access.
Four powertrains are offered.
G25: 2.5-litre petrol, 138kW/250Nm, RWD
G40e: 3.3-litre turbo-petrol mild hybrid, 209kW/450Nm, AWD
D50e: 3.3-litre turbo-diesel mild hybrid, 187kW/550Nm, AWD
P50e: 2.5-litre plug-in hybrid, 241kW/500Nm, AWD
All use an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Exterior colours for the 2026 Mazda CX-60 include Machine Grey, Platinum Quartz, Zircon Sand, Rhodium White, Jet Black, Sonic Silver, Soul Red Crystal and Deep Crystal Blue.
Premium metallics are available at extra cost.
Mazda claims brisk performance across the range.
The G25 petrol manages around 9.0 seconds 0–100 km/h, while the G40e turbo-petrol cuts that to about 6.9 seconds.
The D50e diesel does it in roughly 7.3 seconds, and the P50e plug-in hybrid in 5.8 seconds.
Top speeds sit between 190 km/h and 200 km/h depending on engine.
