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 $60,550 for the CX-60 G40E Evolve Hybrid and ranges through to $88,800 for the range-topping CX-60 P50E Azami Takumi Phev.
