Mazda CX 60 e Skyactiv D review | Is diesel back?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- As one of the automotive industry's long-standing outliers, Mazda is once again bucking current trends by developing a new, large-capacity six-cylinder diesel engine for its flagship CX-60 SUV, albeit one using mild-hybrid technology to enhance efficiency. So, after a disappointing debut in plug-in hybrid guise, can the Mazda CX-60 redeem itself with a new diesel engine?

Thanks for your comprehensive review. Looking forward to checking out the diesel CX60 when it arrives in Australia later this year. Well done Mazda for daring to keep to your design and engineering philosophy!
Thanks for watching!
Having owned the PHEV, and now traded it for the AWD Diesel, I can confirm that the Diesel is the much better car. I've been seeing 60MPG on motorway and 36-38mpg around town, and the engine is still breaking in so this will get better. Suspension is much better without the underslung weight. I made a mistake the PHEV but I havent with the Diesel.
What are the pros/cons of diesel vs the alternatives?
Thanks for your feedback.
Surely the Phev is much cheaper to run?
Man, I would so buy a Diesel in the US. Wife has a DuraMax 1500 (GMC Sierra). That thing gets 30 MPG easy, I think highest trip computer showed was 35 on the highway. Diesels are amazing.
They still make plenty of sense for a lot of people.
I agree. I have an Ecodiesel and RAM is phasing them out. My engine totaled at 60,000 and lucky it was in warranty. Would love this Mazda or Duramax on next purchase.
I'd have a straight 6 diesel over a 4 pot petrol any day 😁 The low rpm, lazy power delivery can really suite bigger cars in my opinion. Also love that sound at 8:17
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hmmm... I've been rocking my fully-specced PHEV Takumi for about 6 weeks, and other than having ordered the Koni Adaptive dampers I'm pleased as punch. Your video has got me thinking though, having been a Diesel driver for years, but I was drawn by the 330-odd BHP and 500 Nm of torque, plus I'm enjoying the 4.2 litres/100 Km and 20 kW/h/100 Km economy over 2100 Km though. Might ask my dealer for a go in the Diesel for comparison purposes...
Did you go and compare?
@@CompletecarIe I... I did not. Wary to do so now I have the PHEV, what if I prefer the Diesel?! No regrets, I'll stick with what I've got, I'm pleased enough!
From where did you order the Koni dampers? My Mazda dealership tells me he is not aware of those dampers.
@@fedolfs My dealer was aware and ordered them for me. Either that, or they checked with the importer... My car is getting fitted as I type this!
@@fedolfs UPDATE: I had the part numbers from a different forum, but the page seems to have disappeared when I click back on the link- I pick my car up tomorrow and will ask my garage for the part numbers for you, you can probably order them from any reputable aftermarket dealer. Also be aware that having them fitted will void the warranty on the suspension/steering, confirmed by my Mazda dealer. It may vary in other countries, but "caveat emptor" and all that...
I can only imagine the cost of the road tax in Ireland.
280
Should be cheap. Emissions are decent
Oh, that’s surprisingly good
€210 - €280 depending on spec
At last some light at the end of the tunnel for hyper milers....( I done 8000kms in March.....EV's are useless to me)
We have plenty of ev taxes who drive more than that every month. I drive mostly daily commuting route over 5 tkm per month with my 28 kwh ioniq 🤷♂️
@@dot7107 I am not a Taxi Driver......so yesterday, I drove from Naas to Cork...from Cork City to Middleton....from Middleton to Cappoquin and then back home to Naas, through Waterford.
My driving destinations (day in, day out) would have an EV operating in its least efficient environment.
I don't drive in an urban environment.....which is what EV's, I'll admit, are perfect for.
@@06younger so you route was about 550 km. With tesla m3 or y LR you can drive that route with one top up charge stop, 15 min or so.
@@dot7107 not a chance......don't be taking WLTP estimates as gospel.
Nobby recently done a video of a trip to Cork and back in a MachE long range. If anything, it highlighted the absolute fraud in these range estimates.
Also, why should I have to spend circa 70k to get a vehicle to meet my needs.
My €50k Superb can "easily" travel 1200kms on one tank...in luxury/comfort without having to worry about what where always normal creature comforts in a car......you know, like heating/climate control.....window wipers and anything else that might be a draw on the precious battery level.
We are never going to agree by the looks of it.
The only models of EV with anything near the real world range I need are premium brand apex models costing well into 6 figures.
Not for me at the moment.......please just accept that.
@@06younger I know wltp. I live in Finland and we have proper winter here. Last christmas I was traveling to Rovaniemi and during that night we had -31°c at coldest. Still warm enough inside of my ioniq but that definitely affects to the range. That cold t is -50% from summer range.
I would also love to drive with my -07 v10 tdi touareg, but that car is so insanely expensive to drive that I just use it randomly. Taxation is over 1300€/y, insurance over 1100€/y, it uses about 14l diesel/100 km and pump price today was over 2,2€/l. Maintanance= what ever goes broken it costs allways over 1k€... Comparsion to Hyundai: taxation 170€, insurance 480€, electric consumption summer 11kwh/100 km, winter rough 19 kwh/100km, electric for me (home charging) costs 0,11€/kwh and maintenance parts are dirt cheap. Comfort is lover but in the end of the day it will go 100% from point a to b...
I'ts not on the Mazda Ireland site yet..............I specc'd up the PHEV version at €61k...........do you think the Diesel will be much more.....spec for spec????
If only they would put this engine in the Mazda 6 estate.
They've finished producing the Mazda 6, unfortunately
Mazda is dying car brand, they will vanish from european car markets during next 10 years.
If you want to drive away in a PHEV CX60 fully loaded you'll have to part with at least 72 GRAND. I'm being serious and it's by no means perfect, too heavy and it's just quite numb to drive. The petrol or diesel is the way to go if you really want to go for the CX60, but I imagine you're going lighten your wallet by an extra few grand.
Pity the Mazda 6 is finished
@@CompletecarIe turns out the 6 cylinder diesel is over €80k......(because of our lovely, illegal VRT)..... I nearly fell out of the office in T P Waters 🙄
Does it also have ad blue?
It does
German 3 litre diesel engines way faster.....more efficient.....mazda are behind here. Back space is useless get a kodiaq
There's a larger version coming
Mazda's engineering team is 18 y behind other brands. During next 10 years they start to think engine downsizing 😂
And long may they continue.........
As long as Diesel fuel is available.......and it will be for the forseeable future........this car would be a long term keeper (until a viable alternitave is available for high mile drivers)
lol
