Cool! Now, I am curious how RWD version would handle this road?
If there will be RWD Available, I will try. It's a great car.
Nice job man , keep going
Thank you for your support mate, I will try. 💪
What is this Color ?
Platinum Quartz is the name
You can adjust the sports bar on the bed and the thing in the middle is not to hold yourself it’s to make it a even with the roof rag, that has fold out elements (left to right and other way round) mounted too
Thank you very much. I have yet no experience with transporting stuff on a pick-up truck and using it to full potential.
2:20 that sound was painful
Ahahahah yeah, 2nd gear was crunchy sometimes. It was harder to go in, and therefore sometimes I was too quick with the clutch.
In the US the camera side view mirrors are illegal and we must use mirrors. So even the "brick" design is more aerodynamic than what we can get.
That's interesting. So you have massive potentially dangerous freedom pick-up trucks on one hand, but on the other the law maker has for some reason problems with digital mirrors. 🤔
@@upshifter US regulation moves at the speed of a snail on a treadmill.
Is this Ioniq 6 you EV car of choice or would you rather take sth else?
It's a lovely car but having to put oil in it so often is an real pisser after all these years of development with the rotary engine. The car being so heavy is also a disappointment.
That's right. The problem is, it seems that it's impossible for rotary to run without eating so much oil. But for some reason, this car stayed in my heart. It's quirky, and has range even for long travels.
seriously? that's like eating ice cream for toyota hilux.
Unluckily, weather was shite for off-roading, 35 celsius and dry AF... So could not find anything really really that tough.... more will be in the review video.
@upshifter TBH, I won't buy that. 30 year old toyota landcruiser or Hilux would climb the everest without breaking a sweat. These new 4x4 pickup trucks are designed to carry crates of beer from supermarket to your door, they are made for asphalt and a bit of green laning. These are not made for proper offroading. I recommend you to try thennew hilux and see the difference. I am looking forward to sseing that.
Do you believe Hilux is this old school pick-up?
Well I haven't driven a Hilux yet. But I always considered Ranger to be on pair. At least on paper.
I thought it was Volvo
XC-90? 😁
Watching UpShifter driving on VR headsets is damn scary!
I like to push any car and see how it works. 😜
@@upshifter That's amazing and unique about this channel. Keep it up and stay safe as always.
Thank you, very kind of you.
Don't know why but I simply cannot touch 3 cylinder cars.
Well I understand, but really I try to look at it. It's still an engine at least. And it's light and efficient. So far the best I driven was Ford EcoBoost. Had nice low grunt, wasn't vibrating as much even when standing still. Hadn't yet had a chance to try BMW i3 though.
This is crazy
The amazing economy of that PHEV is, it is stunning. 🔥
Super chanteuse Madame France❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's beautiful, but, do you like it more than the new Peugeot 3008?
It's so pretty.
It's futuristic looking 🫶
Point is… maxed out the RS is 69000€. For that amount you can buy a good Audi Q4-Etron Sportback. I feel the Audi gives more value /quality to the Skoda. How do you feel about that?
Well I had sat in the Audi as well, and this is the thing, I didn't feel like Audi Q4 gets you more quality. And I like the looks of Škoda more and it's more aerodynamic than the Audi as well. I just think this L&K suits Enyaq really well. That's why I said I would go for it from this specific VAG trio.
????
8.35 seconds mate, better than 9.4 that Honda states 😜
Hello can you please explain to me what the left buttons on the steering wheel do? You know the cruise buttons and all those. The manual is not clear
I think on the left side is the multimedia buttons for radio and volume and stuff.
Info button changes information about driving, source is changing between radio, phone and stuff, and then there are also buttons to pick up or end the call.
@@upshifter i meant to say the right hand side buttons. Thankyou you're so kind
There you can set turn on/off cruise control, set speed, set distance for the car ahead of you. And I think that's it. Maybe there is also limiter.
Very nice review!
Thank you, glad to help!
In my Mazda 3, indeed i put it on 22-23 degrees and it blows even colder than when i turn it all the way to 17c.
Very nice test, I liked it when you overtook the truck, it's the first time I've seen it in a video test. The notes clarifying the audio errors also show that you care.
Happy to help 🫡
I’ve had mine for 4 months and it’s been a great car. It’s a great EV to drive on a daily
I loved it. ❤️💥
I was stuck between Mazda 3, Audi A3 and Benz A-Class, finally I went with the most unknown quantity. But I can confidently say that it was the right choice all things considered. I went with the most basic trim because I hate automatic A/C, and didn't want to have 18 inch wheels. With the basic trim I Paid almost the same as the exclusive line and I didn't get many many of Exclusive line's options such as the heated seat...etc I wanted the most basic version of Mazda and it was the right choice. There are far less things that can go wrong. Engine of this car Skyactive G150 is a masterpiece of auto engineering. It is so smooth, powerful and very flexible in all gears. The best point of this car which for me is the most important one is that how quiet the cabin is no matter what speed you are driving. And finally when the car is out of warranty after 6 years, the car is so simple that I can fix it by myself. The best money I've ever spent. I will keep this car forever and I want to put on it as many KMs as I can, I hope to hit at least half a million KMs. BTW it's not a hatch back with that long nose and long wheelbase, it's in Kombi/shooting brake territory.
I like your config. Mine would be sth similar but also with another reason, lightness. For example I don't like big wheels on cars, too much unsprung mass. Other thing I agree with you is Automatic AC, I prefer manual AC, I never use auto in any of these news cars, it's pointless and it doesn't work the best in auto as far as I am concerned. Mazda is great you get quality like in premium segment in all aspects in my view.
@upshifter I am glad that I am not the only person who thinks Auto A/C doesn't work well. I had it in my audi, it nevet never worked well, either too warm, or too cold. BTW have heard of the new 2.5l engine is coming from middle of this year? And that makes the 2.0 150ps even a bigger gem because 2.5l engines in USA has had many issues and is made in Mexico. My dealer told me that from this year not all mazda 3s will be made in Japan, you get Japanese or Mexican build randomly which is a big no no for me because one of the reasons foe buying mazda3 was because it was made in Japan.
Yes in my country it has already replaced 2.0 in configurator. Also in the CX-30 model.
@upshifter Believe me, 2.0l engine is much much better, especially the 150ps. The new 2.5l puts out 140ps and 234N of torque, but internet is full of reviews talking about cracked. cylinder head and oil leak of the 2.5l engine which is built in Mexico.
Interesting. I have the 2 5 as my own car, 2010 Mazda 6. So I hope I won't be experiencing these problems. I think engines were made only in Mexico but the car says made in Hofu/Hafu sth like that.
I am thinking about getting Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 for the winter. How is your experience with them? Dry and wet grip, road noise, comfort, durability? My other alternative is Yokohama all season. But I am inclined more towards Bridgestone. Cheers
Bridgestone LM005 are fantastic winter tyres. They have really good grip on snow. But another great tyre is Conti Winter Contact TS870P, I remember that had really good snow grip, like I was really surprised when driving them on a snowy day.
@upshifter I think I will go with Bridgestone. I had continental before, it has great grip, but has the thinnest thread and don't last lon. My last all season tyre was Kumho Solus, after almost three years, it still had most of its threads, but it had hardened a bit and had lost some of its dry grip.
I see. Go for it then mate. I never had Conti for longer period so I can't say my experience with them.
@@upshifter I must say that I usually prefer Japanese beands as they are meticulous in their work and don't cut things short.
Nice. I would like to see 1.0 TSI
I have the same car 2024 model, I can confirm that. on autobahn I smoke cars with higher horsepower. The only downside of this car is that it isn't comfortable driving on rough roads, other than that it is an incredible machine for long journeys.
Yeah but if you want the car to be good in the corners with classic suspension and damping system it has to be stiffer. On the other hand I cannot say it´s uncomfortable, the rebound on the damper is quity comfy actually and you as a driver are sitting far from front wheels, so they don´t affect you as much as if you were sitting closer to them like in some other cars.
@upshifter The problem of mazda 3bp isn't the front, it's the rear that upsets the car. Actually the front is quite good because the car is nose heavy. On smooth surfaces, or even roads with big holes the car can handle well, but smal bumos and holes and waves the car can't dampen them. The suspension setup us indeed relatively soft, but because the chassis is too stiff, the rise is rough. But i agree with yoyu, the sporty characteristic takes out the comfort. Now imagine if mazda 3 had indeoendent rear suspension, the car would become the miracle of automotive industry. IMHO mazda has done an i credible job. The car is so smooth that city and autobahn draving feels almost like electric drive. The only thing that annoys me besides the stiff ride is the crazy engine braking that mazda has introduced in 2024 for the mild hybrid models. All that said, this is an incredible machine. I will not swap it for any other cars and will keep it forever. The car is a joy to drive and give incredible fuel consumption on autobahn, at constant speed of 130kph I get 5.6l/100km with A/C on which is incredible. For my driving, I get combined 6l/100km city and autobahn driving.
@@ampm9771 oh yeah, I know what you mean. It´s because of torsion suspension in the rear. I drove the older Mazda 3 with multilink, and for sure there is a difference I felt. Unluckily it is inevitable with torsion bar. But I think they had to do it, as they had to introduce more systems, but they wanted to keep the price still reasonable, I think that´s why they went for torsion. Mild hybrid yes, it is like 15-20% braking. When I didn´t want it, I just went to Neutral. But TBH I quite like recharging the battery in the city, also it helps me with those small brakes touches in the traffic, that I otherwise would have to do manually if I hadn´t had that mild hybrid regen.
@upshifter Overall I am quite hsppy with the car. Just hit 9000km in 4 month. Went on a long distance holiday with it, there trmperature reached 40 degree, but the car became even smoother. What surprised me was how strong the A/C was in 40c. Another surprise was the oul temperature remained between 90-100 despite having 0w20 oil in it. It's a great car that you can live with its minor flaws which aren't really flaws, i call them annoying. Mild hybrid is great IMHO, only the engine braking makes the car buck as soon as tou lift off in 1st and 2nd gear, but now I have learnt how to drive the car the way it needs to be driven. The only other annoying thong is the cylinder deactivation which vibrates sometimes. Other than that, the car is great. I drive it fast on autobahn and it remains really stable at high speed.
I'm reaching 6.4l on the dct so far, about halway through the first tank, but the last few drives have been between 5.0 and 5.5 so the average is dropping. it was a lot more when the engine was brand new
That's really good 💪 keep it up😎
❤
I’ve owned a CX-60 diesel for about a year. The most serious problem of this model is the poor work of the suspensions, which are not able to guarantee sufficient comfort on even slightly irregular terrain. I had to mount 4 Koni shock absorbers at my expense and now the comfort and the road hold are improved. However, I find it shameful that Mazda has marketed its premium model with such a serious congenital problem and, at least in Switzerland, has offered no solution. I would not buy it again!
I don´t know what car did you own before. I didn´t feel Mazda CX-60´s suspension to be too bad. Of course it is on the stiffer side, but you need that for a driver focused SUV, can´t make it soft as a pudding to do corners well. It is much more pleasant than other Mazdas still. In regards of suspension Mazda is a sports brand in my eyes.
Hyundai Kawai may have massage
Really? If yes, that's WOW.🤩 But one thing, common, how much did that car grow from previous generation. Incredible
Never ever i could seat in that beautiful peugeot cocpit comfortably, sadly. Lower steering wheel is a mistake, but yeah, the design is there.
@@user-fy2qq2ih4d I mean. I feel a bit cramped there, but I don't mind it actually. The thing they've resolved for me is that the upper part of steering wheel is no longer in the way of looking at instrument cluster.
do you find the engine in petrol mode is noisy as hell ,mine is
At times yes, but as I am driving 90% time in Sport mode, this mode doesn't let battery drain so much, so the engine doesn't need to turn on so hard for recharging in my experience. Where I heard is much more was hybrid of Renault Clio with 1.6 when it was new.
@@upshifter More so also when it’s starting up or idling it’s like a tractor
Yeah I think I know what you mean, when it's cold it sounds like grass cutter or sth. But many hybrids do that, this week I have new CR-V and it does that also. Is slightly better isolated though.
@@upshifter what a difference in sport mode .first time the battery showed full charge very quickly.once fully charged then I switched to Ecco as it was urban driving .so much better thanks for the tip
@@guitarmuso1 happy to help. I think in the city for consumption alone, Normal or Eco which are using more battery are better. But for long distance driving and particularly motorways I always use the car in Sport mode and manage regen myself manually all the time when driving.
That car is stunningly beautiful. What a beauty!
I agree, it´s lovely. I was watching at it, drinking coffee with my granddad on Sunday and admiring its lines and curves.
Imagine if it was old day, V6 engine with this same Aisin 8 speed transmission, how cool it would be!

The test car was the 254hp Diesel with AWD, right?
Yes.
Cool video (btw: where is this great route?). Unfortunately you can't see the road ahead (second camera failed), so the sporty driving style can only be guessed at. I find the constant popping up of warning messages completely annoying...what problem does the Mazda CX-60 have with fast cornering?
It's called Šturec, in the middle of Slovakia. Problems in cornering? Well only those connected with being SUV. So higher centre of gravity, which at some agility bends, sudden change of direction can be felt as it shifts. Otherwise Mazda has done a fantastic job in the suspension and conception of the car. It's really nice to drive. Simply driver's SUV.
@@upshifter Thanks 👍 My question was more aimed at the countless audible and visual warning messages in the dashboard. I'm very interested in the Mazda, but that would be a show stopper for me
@@Norbert-JochenBinder unluckily, that´s how it is. I couldn´t find a way to turn that New EU speed recognition system off, I think I also mentioned it in the Review video of the car.
Understood 🤗 All these compulsory driving aids are a horror, especially when you can no longer deactivate them 😢. This is how autonomous driving is gradually being forced on us 💩.
Exactly. Thats why I am feeling so free when driving my older Car.

Good offer this KGM✍️
Don't get me wrong, its a nice car, but mine is going back based off the absolutely abysmal fuel economy. 30mpg driving like a grandad is a joke.
@@LimaLapointe I do get it. The aerodynamics are absolutely not ideal. Plus if you have 4x4. Means quite bad fuel economy.
@@upshifter im almost certain mine is FWD only although I'm not 100%, back end does kick out in the wet on corners if a bit too quick similar to RWD vans I've had for work. I do like the body style and front lights, not a massive fan of the rear lights just not what I like really after following an identical car to me for half hour. The upside is that although it's pants on fuel, you do get the power output you'd expect from such a bad fuel economy -had a 2016 1.6T RenaultSport Clio, kicked out about 40 brake more than the Tivoli and averaged 25-28mpg conservative driving, 0-62 5.9 seconds, not sure how fast the Tivoli is, but in Sport it's very responsive and in lower gears accelerating upto 70 isnt a problem at all (even in normal, the kickdoen has you off tge mark very quick). Shame it doesn't hace an Eco drive mode, or there isn't one that's slightly less thirsty - considering it's not a performance (speed) engine, it really shouod be on par with similar vehicles like rge Mokka, Captur, T-Roc, Puma etc which (on paper) are all 47mpg-65mpg. I can't wait until I swap over to the Mokka, mainly due to the fuel factor but also because I like the interior of modern Vauxhall's/ Opel, but also as I've found the Tivoli to be unsuitable for my needs - no Lumbar support is a joke for a start, and I would like to see paddle gears in the vehicle instead of just a semi auto shift stick. I could be wrong but unlike most modern auto's, I don't think the Tivoli has a DCT so overall shifts aren't as quick or efficient as they could be. Not only that but it falls down against competitors in the fact it's only a 6-speed auto transmission as opposed to most competition in 2024 being 8-speed. Still have my Tivoli for a week, and so I am gonna have as much fun with her as I can begore switch - she is fun to drive and sticks to the road pretty good, suspension leaves something to be desired thouugh eh! Feel every bump 😅 Edit; sorry for the biblical length comment, ADHD got away from me xD
@@LimaLapointe yeah might be, as FWD have torsion rear suspension while AWD boast multi-link I think. And slidy rear end is more usual with torsion. But it actually feels light and nimble, and personally I like cars that are a bit poised, even when they are not hot hatches.
8:45 Sport Mode gives the best fuel consumption?
My experience on long trips with multiple cars is yes. I know it sounds against the modes, but reasoning is, you have all the power and therefore with loaded car, you don't need to press accelerator as deep as with Normal or Eco.
@@upshifter if in sport mode on motorways do you use maximum regenerative braking ?
@@guitarmuso1 No, I use the least possible, I only use regenerative braking for slowing down the car, or when I go down the hill to either slow it down when needed, or I put it in regen 1 or 2 and keep the car moving/ increasing speed by gravity whilst getting charge into battery.
I'm with JWF. I also bought the Wind AWD with tech package. Getting about 315-320 miles of range in mostly ECO mode with Level 3 Regen braking. Did I need the AWD? No. ECO mode basically just switches the car to driving on the rear motor. But It sure is nice to push the button to Sport mode when you need to merge on the highway. Super fast, super fun. My only complaint is I'm a big, wide guy. These seats are clearly designed for thinner, smaller people. It wasn't really an issue during the test drive, but it starts to make a difference on longer trips. Just 3/4 inch of width in the front seats would make these seats more comfortable. And there's plenty of room to do it.
I completely understand what you mean about the seats. I had this problem with Japanese, as if they are made simply for shorter men.
It seems like the car left fairly good impressions, am i right? Any plans on comparing with other hyubrib SUVs?
You mean side by side test? Yes it did, drives nicely for such a tall thing, and the interior feels Japanese, very close to Mazda, altough not yet on its level.
Side-by-side is difficult to organize for sure, but even some comparison based on Your thoughts, during next test would be great!
Next week I have a chance to test at the same time both HEV and PHEV Honda CR-V😊

The reality of charging: it is terrible when compared to a diesel - in 3 minutes I can go from 50km range to 1200km range.
How often you need to do this on an EV? - on a holiday trip twice a year ? - every morning you start with a full battery at home - so no more fuel stop on the way to work - this saves more time in a year, than the (maybe) five charging stop on a long holiday trip - i have both a diesel and an EV and this cars as different use cases - for daily use an EV is perfect
Keep driving your diesel then, EV owners have had many ICE before so your comment value is next to nothing.
The reality of diesel: you smell and stink up the place after 3 minutes during 1200 km. Get lost dinosaur.
How supportive are the seats? You seem cramped and hunched over. I have a major back problem and need supportive seats.
In corners not that supportive really. In terms of cushioning, softer than VW but by far not as soft as Citroen. Somewhere in the middle.
LOL, 100kw charging with 18% SOC is really not good performance.
Yeah but battery was pretty chilled, only had preconditioning on for 3 km that it takes to get to that charger.
You are a little bit out of date. The rear engine since late 2023 (in the 85-models) has 210 kW (286 hp). 204 hp was in the previous 80 models.
I checked, and I guess you´re right, I thought, its power is created by 2 motors.
How is the audio system?
Very decent, particuarly thanks to low noise levels of aerodynamics and tyres.
AWD is definitely the way to go. Last month I got a Wind AWD with the Tech Package for $43k USD. I've been averaging 4.1 mi/kwh with a mix of city and highway.
