Just for reference, all of the following have been replaced in one CX-60 and half the problems are still not resolved. Gearbox Steering Rack Wireless Charger Rear Door Front Door latch Front Door striker pin Tailgate latch x 2 Tailgate striker pin x 2 Steering wheel Heater Control Unit Rain Sensor Battery Both Side radars Suspension Rear Door handles (twice)
For a diesel i like the sounds…nice little rumble (on camera at least). Glad they went 6 and not 4 tho…at that price the sound and feel of a 4 wouldn’t cut it
Thanks for the review! I've got the PHEV model (GT with Vision) and it's been great. It has its compromises (i.e. sporty but stiff ride, jerky transmission at low speeds, not the smoothest transition from EV to ICE), but if you know what they are and know how to live with it, it's a great car!

Some of the comments here are a bit harsh. With the recent price decreases where you can now pick up a CX-60 Evolve for 58k I don't think it's fair to compare these to the Euro cars that spend a lot more refinement in dampers etc. you had me at pre price drop and suspension mods but in the last few months I think there's less and less to winge about subsequently the CX-60 is becoming quite a good value proposition
@@drivingenthusiastaustraliaSpeaking of diesel, are there any fuel stations with HVO in the pump? American & European transport will be using more and more of this fuel in the future.
I wonder why diesel is so unpopular these days. The CO2 emissions are much better after all - close to petrol hybrids without the complexity of a hybrid system.
Yes sir, efficiency without complexity (and not much weight). Also, how's australia today? Is there any HVO on the pumps? It would decrease any diesel emissions by a country mile
@@MrAl2742 I'm unaware of HVO (aka Bio-Diesel) here in Oz. However, I know this is very controversial in Europe because it comes at the expense of agricultural land for food production and risks deforestation in developing countries. As far as CO2 goes, diesel engines are comparable to petrol + hybrid. This may not be ideal, of course, but I, like about 30% of the population here, don't have the option of charging an EV at home, and the public charging infrastructure is absolutely abysmal. The primary problem with diesel (compared to petrol/hybrid) is NOx.
@@klausschroiff4405 Hello sir, HVO is actually a very very different product compared to a biodiesel, and much more environmentally friendly and sustainable as well, it can also be used 100% without any modification from the engine. Indeed modern diesel engines are much quiter, economical, and even faster than previous diesel, also ,NOx problem will be even smaller in the future thanks to lower compression and the use of new fuels (HVO & synthetic diesel). Have a look at green car congress at diesel section & difference in HVO & biodiesel and news section, i think it's worth a look.
@@klausschroiff4405 Hello sir, HVO fuel (also called renewable diesel in usa) is actually a different fuel than a biodiesel fuel. As for the fuel itself it is actually quite sustainable (use waste compared to virgin materials & does not compete with food). Indeed, diesel engines nowadays are very clean even compared to hybrids especially with overall lifecycle emissions. There's also many good news to NOx reductions such as new fuels (HVO & synthetic diesel). If you would like to know more head to greencarcongress in the diesel section and also search for the increase in uptake in HVO in many countries, it's worth a look. And two more thing to look, search for "What technology will military vehicles use in the future?" in youtube and diesel achievea 53.09% thermal efficiency. All these point to one thing in common, that diesel engines will continue to play a key role in the future.
great review Bret, yep Mazda trying to be premium does not work, look at "Eunos" for example. Someone outside of Mazda but close to them said that the multi-clutch pack transmissions are failing and that Mazda cant supply enough in terms of warranty claims, yes its that bad, also the in-line 6 is so underdone that some have started to fail on both inlet and exhaust port side, not good. Bets advice? stay away from this generation "Premium" Mazda products util they sort out all the poor quality control issues.
CX-60 has been tuned for efficiency, low emissions and long term reliability. It's a completely different design philosophy. Problem is that some of Ze Germans have soured the image of diesel propulsion for personal transportation.
This car got big problems in the suspension and transmission and some other small things and it's very beautiful in the cockpit but don't go near it till another year or 2 so they fix the problems
Well that information is a bit misleading now isn't it. Yes Mazda did have suspension and transmission issues when first launching these new models. Although Mazda was quick to rectify these due to customer complains and the latest models drive quite differently.
The fix was mediocre not perfect they need to change the suspension design and by the way I was going to buy one and it’s still hard on the road I was offered the cx 60 for 60k Australian dollars in Melbourne the petrol engine I liked the car but the only reason that pulled me back is the suspension and transmission coz I don’t want any headaches then I went to see Lexus NX the price is crazy 95k so I just postponed purchasing a new car
We bought a CX-60, and it has been a terrible experience. We’ve had problems every day. In just six months, we’ve had to bring it in for recalls and software resets five times. The value has already dropped by $10,000. Please don’t buy the CX-60. My wife spoke to the General Sales Manager, Robert, Mt Gravatt but there was no resolution. He was polite, but nothing was accomplished.
