The Mazda CX-60 is a completely new model on the new Mazda Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture. The new platform underpinning the Mazda CX-60 is a rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive platform. It allows not only for a PHEV powertrain - a first for Mazda - but also implies longitudinal placement of the engine. This in turn allows the use of 6-cylinder inline motors. In some markets the Mazda CX-60 is already available with a straight-six diesel, and a straight-six petrol is in the cards as well.

In my MHEV 2023 2.0 non-turbo CX-5 Exclusive-Line with DAP, I can feel the battery recuperating the energy at 28 and 18 mph respectively. It happens as I ease off the accelerator and cruising to a stop. It doesn't do it all the time because i-Stop activates when the battery is fully charged at a standstill. The battery does kick in and boost acceleration, it is noticeable and also allows music from wireless Android Auto to be played without the engine started. I have owned this from 2nd October 2023. Best feature is the opening sunroof that allows the dumping of accumulated stale air without breathing in outside exhaust fumes. It's done in seconds and can be closed almost immediately. I love the Jimba Ittai because everything is to hand. I am a disabled driver and the placement of everything feels so natural. Next, I am looking at getting the CX-60 in Takumi spec and petrol. I like Mazda, fell upon them by accident and haven't found anything that puts me off them yet. Love your channel.

The car is clearly a new, modern project, daring but with common sense. The sophistication of the chassis is commendable and the courage to bring 6 inliners speaks for itself, meanwhile in the market V8s disappears and 4 inliners are branded prestigiously. I think Mazda should import also the cx 50 & 70 from the US. I considered this car as a purchase and got interested into it lately. Unsurprisingly your review is the best I saw so far: being just an early bite, I really look forward for the main course. I think the hybrid powertrain could contemplate also a more modern petrol, already in the lineup elsewhere. The way Mazda follows looks akin to Volvo in seeking to raise brand profile from yesteryears stereotypes. And bravo, bravo, bravo..... 👏 BRAVO!

I like that Mazda seems to go against the current! :) When you get it for a longer period, please test the real world consumption in HEV mode. I think PHEV tend to run a lot in this mode, just because they can, and if you live in an apartment not a house, you might skip some runs to charging stations. Also on longer trips you won't stop every 50 km to charge :)

@Tim_in_Australia 4 дня назад

I'm not sure you know much about cars. I test-drove the diesel version of this car yesterday. The power, interior design, and exterior appearance are impressive. It felt great driving on flat roads. However, the road noise was quite loud when driving over coarse chip at speed. It's not a quiet highway cruiser; instead, it's loud and boomy. The suspension feels cheap and doesn't effectively absorb bumps or road imperfections. Additionally, there was a small rattle in the dashboard. Overall, I would not recommend this car yet, but I'd like to one day, after Mazda do the engineering properly, and address the asking price. Its unresolved.

@MarekDrivesENG 3 дня назад

@laupakhin Год назад

Thanks once again for the excellent review Marek. I think Mazda has done a great job with this, and it'll really shake up the premium SUV market. I'm not sure about the exterior design language though, I think the likes of the CX-5 and CX-30 do a better job. I much prefer the curvy look over this squared off version. I'm hoping Mazda see the error of their ways and make a sedan and wagon based on this platform. Combined with that interior design it'll definitely take the fight to the Germans.

@marcotommasi7133 Год назад

Very interesting review. If I understood it correctly doesn’t have the option of “one pedal driving” for quicker regen (I.e. the Volvo XC60 plug-in can be driven in “b” mode)

@MarekDrivesENG Год назад

I later found out there is a stronger regen setting in the infotainment system, but I was told it's not one pedal driving strong. Also, accessing it through an on-screen menu, rather than having a button on the dash means you're not likely to take full advantage of it.

@0farmerjohn0 8 месяцев назад

I'm currently looking at used CX-60s PHEV and Diesel/Petrol Hybrids. I have done a good 100km test drive for all 3 variants for the Homura trim. My only issue is the mileage. Test drive was done with a good mix of city, B-roads and autobahn. The PHEV at full battery couldn't achieve anything below 8.8L/100km. The Petrol hybrid could do at best 7.5L/100km. The diesel on the other hand did very well at 5.5-6.0L/100Km. As for the prices for with mileage between 15-20k km on it. The PHEV/Petrol hybrid are going for 42k-46k€ but the diesel never goes below 50k. does this mean the Diesel is more desirable out of the 3? Mind you the second hand units I'm looking at are either demonstration vehicles or a jahreswagon. With all the flak diesel is getting, I would have expected it to be the cheaper on but no! It's atually the more expensive one. How is it in your area?

@DaveDVideoMaker Год назад

It’s quite a good alternative to a BMW X3, considering that the CX-60 is a RWD based D-SUV like the X3. However, I don’t appreciate the fake quad exhausts (similar to the ones used in VW R Line vehicles). And fun fact: in North America, they will be getting the wider CX-70, which will likely use a RWD based platform.

@kevinW826 Год назад

We will also be getting the cx9 replacement the cx90. Both will be rwd based. The cx70 will be a two row suv the same size as the cx9 and the cx90 will be the bigger three row. Cx90 will have a 6 cylinder turbo engine with hybrid setup, or so I heard. The cx70 will be a four cylinder hybrid, hopefully.

@DaveDVideoMaker Год назад

@@kevinW826 In Europe we will get the CX80 instead of the CX90. It will be RWD based too. And I think it would be logical for the CX70 to use the same PHEV powertrain as the CX60, plus the 6cyl gas engines.

@andreiplesuvu Год назад

@@MarekDrivesENG thx! Would you recommend the car in comparison with other phev’s? I ask you because I made the test drive with it and I loved it,but I don’t have much experience in compared it with others manufacturers

@MarekDrivesENG Год назад

At the moment I wouldn't recommend a PHEV at all, because IMO its the worst of both worlds. You need to charge it regularly and cheaply (i.e. preferably at home or at work), but unless your commute is no more than 3/4 of the claimed range (half to be on the safe side), you're not taking full advantage of it on daily basis. I know some people make it work, and fill up their PHEVs with petrol twice a year, but it really needs to fit their daily lives. Also, these days you're probably not getting benefits/incentives, like you would on an EV. Forget performance. BMW PHEVs are crap at being PHEVs, but they deliver performance. This Mazda may have 300-something hp, but it's still a family hauler.

@OllieBurgess 7 месяцев назад

Nice video, thank you! Do you happen to know who is behind Mazda’s Sat Nav? Is it still a Tom Tom partnership and if so do they alert you for safety cameras etc?

@MarekDrivesENG 7 месяцев назад

AFAIK it's still TomTom. Not sure about speed camera alerts. Also I'm not sure these are legal in Germany, so the feature may have been disabled during the first drives there.

@OllieBurgess 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for such a prompt response. Isn’t it funny how the likes of Waze and Google can have these types of alerts via CarPlay and Android auto but a car manufacturer chosen feature partner can’t have them 🤔

@MarekDrivesENG 7 месяцев назад

Again, it may be market specific. Google, Waze, TomTom have to comply with local regulations, so if speed camera warnings are illegal in a given market, they will not show up as soon as you cross the border. Similarly Google StreetView is mostly unavailable in Germany. Only some areas were covered, before privacy laws banned further expansion. And then there are general CSR considerations. Some carmakers may choose not to add a feature such as speed camera warnings, because they feel responsible for the wellbeing of communities, etc.

@lukkajou Год назад

I was testing the car today with Takumi interior. Very interesting car, feels like fun to drive. It feels more like rear-wheel driven car when you change to sport-mode and push the pedal. Controls are bit old-fashioned compared to Volvo XC-60T8 which I have now.But they work nice. Seats are missing leg support (I am 1,94 cm) and is clearly weaker than Volvos seats.

@m78881 Год назад

@@MosesKaldor That’s my point. I don’t really think Mazda is a bad car. In my opinion it drives really good (newer models) since they’re focused towards comfort. I’ve driven a brand new Toyota and it felt like a tractor compared to the CX-30 I take to work. But it’s not that good either. However, the price is really high and really isn’t a “luxury” car. It’s not isolated like one, it does not have that much power and it doesn’t have the quality of a German car. It doesn’t feel like one. I drove a 2001 BMW 530d (E39) and I can promise you it has better quality than any new Japanese/normal cars. This kind of vehicles should be priced fairly. At max 20K. Mercedes A class can beat the top of the line of Japanese cars in terms of quality. 60K for a Mazda it’s insane. However considers paying that, should first test drive any of the cars I’ve listed above in my previous comment. Cheers.

During launch events like this one I can't get a realistic number. Generally speaking PHEVs never achieve the claimed 1-2 liters per 100 km, because the WLTP test is very short.

I just don't understand why do all recent Mazda cars ignore the rear passengers... The space and (not enough) light for them is just ridiculous. I expected CX60 to be a bit better but obviously not. And even if CX80 will get it right, it will likely be way over my budget :-)

@duca8063 Год назад

Most cars are driven with the back seats empty, even the ones with five doors, when they have passengers in the back they will probably be kids, they don’t need that much space

@TheJirator Год назад

@@duca8063 I agree with you. But I'm one of the few who drive with 4+ people on board for most of the time :-) And it is just weird that 50k+ EUR SUV with large body offers the same or smaller space as much smaller compact cars.

The back space in CX-60 is decent. Not great but depending on the technology of the car and its dimensions, compromises always have to be made. Still, most of the time it is unused and/or occupied by kids. Even adults can travel just fine in it, perhaps not as comfortable as some other cars but not terrible by any means. I think people might lose some fat instead of complaining about cars not becoming buses to fit them inside.

Technically this is a new CX 5 given back the old name CX 70.

@daviddanielsson3495 Год назад

Agreed regarding the steering! Way too slow/stiff. How/why did they make it that way???

Very nice car indeed but nothing to tempt me from my excellent Kia Sorento 4wd diesel with wet8 speed DCT automatic which has averaged 38mpg over many thousands of miles, almost all on Welsh coast roads, so up and down across valleys and much traffic. On several longer journeys at a fast pace it has achieved 42mpg UK. Plenty of power and torque. I’m sure that the Mazda will be just as good but I doubt whether it will be significantly better.

It will be far more reliable at least....

8 speed automatic without a torque converter. There's a multi-plate clutch instead to transmit directly the torque of the engine and electric motor.

@robertdevoy3119 Год назад

Mazda taking too long to get the CX-70 available in the U.S. market. Slightly larger and better than the 60? By the time they get done their competitors will have upped their game again. Already, I've read that the seats are not that comfortable compared to Euro competitors.

@MarekDrivesENG Год назад

I'm not sure which competitors were taken into account. Mazda will probably not offer seats with as many adjustment settings, as those found optionally on Audi, BMW or Mercedes.

@felixli5279 Год назад

Disagree. CX60/70/80/90 are all RWD-bias along with a longitudinal powertrain layout. This is a huge, time-consuming engineering development shift from the current FWD-biased CX9 and none of its current direct competitors such as Toyota Highlander/Venza, Honda Pilot/Passport, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, etc.(except Ford Explorer) use a RWD-biased layout/platform like the CX60/70/80/90. Hell, even the Lexus RX(let alone NX), Acura MDX and Audi Q5 use FWD-biased platform layout.

@sha22276 Год назад

The car just looks ungainly. It's as if they couldn't agree on the design. It looks too upright and narrow from the front, the headlights are too small

@MarekDrivesENG Год назад

I suspect they had to make place for the bigger grille, because of towing/cooling.
