$44,240

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.

Mazda CX-60 Interior

The Mazda CX-60 offers a larger-than-usual interior compared to normal medium-sized SUVs, thanks to its considerable length, width and height.

Large doors open wide for unimpeded entry/egress, the seating is high and offers good forward vision, while the driving position is also first class, and is aided by comfy and very supportive front seats.

Reflecting Mazda’s premium aspirations, the dashboard is of notable solidity and elegance.

Its design and layout may be construed as conservative, but it’s all there, with an electronic instrument display ahead of the driver and a separate, central touchscreen, of either 10.25-inches in the cheaper grades and 12.3 inches in the more-expensive versions. Aided by a rotary controller, the display is set up high in the centre console, and everything functions easily and intuitively.

Other CX-60 cabin strengths include lots of space front and rear, excellent ventilation and a thoughtful amount of storage. On the other hand, side and rear vision is restricted.

Mazda CX-60 Engine

The Mazda CX-60 is motivated by a choice of three powertrains.

The 3.3-litre in-line six-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine is the most popular. Dubbed the G40e, it produces 209kW of power and 450Nm of torque.

Then there is a turbo-diesel version of the 3.3-litre in-line six-cylinder engine, making 187kW and 550Nm.

Finally, there is Mazda’s familiar 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, but this time mated to a 129kW electric motor powered by a 17.8kWh lithium-ion battery in the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) version, for a system total of 241kW and 500Nm. It also allows up to 76km of pure EV driving range.

All are paired with an eight-speed, non-torque-converter wet-plate-clutch automatic transmission, and though rear-biased, it’s to an all-wheel drive system.
