The Mazda CX-60 aims to establish Mazda in the premium part of the upper mid-sized SUV segment. In this, it'll be aided by sharp driving dynamics, a refreshing different and rather classy cabin and the option of a PHEV powertrain with a 39 mile driving range. It's most affordable than obvious rivals, better equipped - and really rather different.
Mazda thinks differently - and continues to do so with this car, CX-60. This SUV is the largest model the brand has made in recent times and in this Plug-in Hybrid form, the fastest too. The platform's all- new and there's a hand-finished 'Crafted in Japan' design ethos that the company hopes will propel this car into contention with premium rivals.
Previous Mazda followers will be interested to see if the brand's usual sharp handling has been preserved by this 2.1-tonne SUV; the company promises it's snappily-titled 'Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture' platform will help deliver that. It's a chassis that's made possible the introduction of a PHEV powertrain - the company's very first. And a pair of more conventionally-electrified 'M hybrid' mild hybrid petrol and diesel units. So, Mazda is going up-market, in product size, image quality and luxury. Can cars like this one support that move?

Just ordered a Mazda CX30, the quality and refinement just blew me away, nothing the German competition could match for the price.
Fantastic to hear Mario!
I just ordered a Homura in Arctic White with Convenience and Driver assistance packs.. cant wait.
Thanks for the review, even with the errors
Congratulations. I wish I could afford it. These are real classy cars
These Mazdas are very classy. Better than BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar and Audi due to superior reliability and spec for spec better value. Would have a Lexus NX over the Mazda though and well done OSV for a great review.
Great detail from the review, having owned a Q5 and Volvo XC40....this will be my next vehicle....looks so imposing and the interior quality and requirements seem spot on....all seemingly at a bargain price..similar spec xc60..£62k and Audi £61k...over £10k seems a high price to pay for potentially less reliable and less long term residuals....game over.....Thanks for the review
U have a update? So how u like it compared to the q5 and xc40?
This was an excellent breakdown. Appreciate it.
Thanks for watching Robert! If you enjoyed the video, make sure to subscribe: bit.ly/319ZKoT
When you tested the cx9, how did you find the ride and suspension over poorer roads? Same as the cx60 ? Or noticeably better
I like how Mazda always set themselves apart. The vehicles look so well designed both inside and outside and I hear the rotary engine will be making a come back as a small engine to power the electric motors for a very different hybrid design which I think will be something great as it will get rid of any range anxiety. Fingers crossed for Mazda...Always great reviews that are so in depth.
Enjoyed listening to every detail from someone looking to buy the car as a daily vehicle. Thanks for the superb attention to detail.

What’s the economy like on the PHEV when the charge runs out?
The car looks great, and in town the PHV looks good, I'm fine with the ~30mile range, for my usual drive that will be fine.
However, I'm really interested in the longer drives, we frequently drive through Europe, with a roofbox and bikes on the back, my old CX5 2.2D was simply a joy on those really long drives, my current CX5 2.0 petrol is so awful for those long drives the petrol consumption was crazy, may be I was just spoilt by the diesel.
How's that 2.5l petrol going to cope with the slightly larger/heavier car on those longer heavier drives when going up some of those long hills.
I wish the PHV had an option of the 3l straight 6, or even better the diesel (though in the UK the anti-diesel is liable enough to discourage me enough from going with a diesel, more's the pitty)
I wonder why they aren't making PHEV s in their normal and smaller sized models. The CS60 is quite a big SUV
Sir, it was just perfect!
Great review; Mazda tried this with the xedos line up - more than a match for 3 n 5 series of the day. Let's hope for a "fairer" reception this time round 🤨🤨
We have Just ordered CX 60 , selling BMW X3 phev.great review
Fantastic to hear! We hope you enjoy your new Mazda 👍
When a car is crafted, its on another level.🎉
Intersting review. What do you recomand for a family with 2 kids mazda cx 60 or volvo xc60 plug in?

Looking rather sharp against the XC60/XC90/Q7.
What makes the darker trims less appealing? Who wants a light interior that shows every smudge and if you have kids.. Darker is definitely more appealing..LOL Personal preference surely
Yeah. We'll have one.
Your review and those of others make reference to the six cylinder petrol at the start, but then later on there is no mention of it. And the Mazda website appears to suggest there is no such option, at least not in the UK.
Thank you for your comment! we will have a passed your feedback to the team!
Coming tothe UK in 2024 according to dealer
Excellent review! I have ordered one to be delivered later this year 🙂
Fantastic to hear, Gerrit! Let us know how it goes with your new Mazda CX-60 👍
I wonder if they'll ever sell the CX90 in the uk.
Do you want me to review it for you...Get the details correct please
Woven dashboard will be a nightmare to clean... bad idea.....
ON demand 4WD?? it is Permanent 4WD
How is the massive center console a slim element?? It is massively wide compared to any other in this class. Please be honest. People actually watch these videos for information!!
I thought you guys had reviewed this car already?
Hi Philip 👋 Our shorter review was released last month which you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/mUZOIJI5ktU/v-deo.html
LOL... where are the front fog lamps... comprehensive review???
Minimized transmission tunnel width...🤣😂🤣
The hand stiched dashboard covering looks terrible!!! Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? Otherwise very good looking as always.
So true.🤪 You think that's bad, go sit in those seats with that leatherstrip going up your ass! Same pattern on the cx50 and it's absolutely horrible!🤯 You never see people test driving these cars with light shorts on it's always heavy winter attire!🤔🤔🤫🤫🙄🤯
@@bigjay1970 maybe our donkey doesn't mind a leather strip
@@bigjay1970 Eh ? 🤔
It doesn't!!! start in battery power on start up... lol.. lots of errors in this review!!
Thanks for your feedback 👍 We'll pass this onto the team
Have fun sitting in those horrible seats in the summertime with the leather strip going up your behind!🤯
I do believe they have heated and cooled seats in the the Homura and Takunmi specs as standard. Most I've seen listed have that installed.
Noisy, poor quality build compared to older CX5 etc, technology that doesn't work, overly aggressive lane assist which cannot be permanently disabled thanks to the EU. Steamed up windows after left parked for an hour, poor suspension over bumpy roads. Just bought a CX60 top line and a CX5 black edition, wish I'd just bought 2x CX5.

Plug in hybrid ❗️-OFF
I disagree. For some people, who do lots of short trips where the EV range is enough - but do want the occasional long trip without range anxiety then PHEV's are a good option. I've got one of these coming end of the month and it's 39 (or realistically 30) mile EV range will cater for 90+ percent of my trips. I have a charger at home - and solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall - so realistically I can run the vehicle for 'free' over a big chunk of the year. But if I need to do a longer trip then fine, burn petrol. Regular hybrids bother me as you have all the complexity of both platforms but no ability to charge at home and take advantage of (relatively) low cost mileage. As was pointed out in this review, charging a hybrid using it's engine is not the most cost effective ... I can only imagine doing it if you were heading to some no emissions area.
This car is a load of rubbish. It does not do nowhere near 54 miles to the gallon more like 31.
