2023 Mazda CX-60: Confirmed Pricing, Release Date & Engine Specs for Mazda's BMW X3 Rival
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- We reveal full pricing, specifications and engine choice for the 2023 Mazda CX-60 luxury SUV in Australia, where the model will start from just under $60K.
In mid-2023, Mazda will release its first luxury SUV product in Australia. The midsize CX-60 will be a direct competitor to the Audi Q5, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and BMW X3. However, the CX-60 is priced more sharply than those vehicles.
We’ve already driven the CX-60 which you can watch here:
Notably, the CX-60’s entry level engine will be a six-cylinder turbo petrol, unlike the modest four-cylinder engines offered on the competition’s cheaper models. There will also be an available straight-six turbo Diesel engine and a four-cylinder plug-in hybrid that is the most powerful production Mazda ever.
Later, Mazda will reveal a CX-90 three-row large SUV, plus CX-70 and CX-80 models. There might even be a new Mazda 6 on the company’s new rear-wheel drive architecture.
As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Mazda CX-60.

Thank you Tom for another brilliant review! I’m a big fan of your work ❤ May I request you to do a comparison video of the Lexus Nx350h vs the equivalent grade of CX60? Something like the Cx9 vs Palisade you had done before. Thank you..pls keep up the good work 😊
3.3 L diesel engine
I honestly think Mazda's are very underrated, they deserve more sales.
Here in Canada Mazda is one of the more common brand. You’d see a cx-5 just as much as a cr-v or an explorer. The 3’s are very liked and very reliable even in the winter. Almost everyone agrees that you can go wrong with Mazda.
This is how you should make a crossover ... Even fake front wheel drive Lexus SUVs won't stand a chance near this car ...
This is what we call a proper layout ...front longitudinally mounted rear wheel driven cross over with integrated AWD system ... Awesome .... I
I wish as Mazda being a brand that caters to enthusiasts they might come up with a manual transmission Mazda 6 with an inline 6 and rwd. ...
Yeah, go the RWD-based layout!
Hi. What is the total fuel/electric range on the PHEV. Is there any other current or future PHEV (that can tow) that rivals the CX60?
Looking forward to driving the CX60 PHEV when it arrives hopefully in March. Does the PHEV have VTL/VTG capability?
Thanks for the overview of the CX-60! I saw a photo of the tan interior and I preferred that more!
You and me both!
The price of a 118i 3 cylinder can get you a 6 cylinder SUV. Magic 😮
Interesting way of looking at it!
Pls describe the gear box and the AWD system Thx Tom
Good preview Tom, is the infotainment system a touch screen when apple CarPlay is in use while the car is stationary? specifically inputing a address in the Apple or google Maps/Navigation or do you have to rely on that dial to stuff around inputing an address letter by letter till a matched word apears or try hey Siri with mixed results?
Yes, I believe it is a touchscreen only whilst stopped.
I would love to know the range for the regular hybrid model in the states. Not the plug in - just the hybrid trim.
Thanks Tom, Great review. How is the ride on the PHEV - Have Mazda tuned the suspension to local ride handling? Also hows the transition from battery to ICE modes -smoother than the prototype models?
The local validation program is testing engine durability rather than suspension / ride at this stage. I thought the PHEV rode quite firmly when I drove it in Europe. That was an unfinished prototype. Not sure about the finished cars yet!
Did the EV to petrol switching feel better than in the car you drove in Portugal?
Great review- would be good to understand sizing in relation to fitting children’s car seats in the back seat- what the size is like in terms of fitting three and having seats rear facing, and a pram in the boot.
So whats the final say on the boot space? Online specs say 477L but some other videos mention 570L.
Would love a confirmation on this. I was hoping for a large boot space.
Nice review!
Just bought a CX 60 gasoline HEV inline 6, rhodium white wth a trim comparable to your Azumi trim for Philippine Pesos 2,790,000 plus 22,800 additional for the rhodium white color.
Appreciate the cost data across the 3 models and three drive-trains: For many people with low-moderate vehicle usage, the annual cost of fuel will be less than either depreciation or insurance and over time probably still less than depreciation plus increased maintenance. Nice since the basic inline 6 is likely to be the smoothest and most satisfying to drive...as well as the least expensive annually.
Happy to help.
Great review. On another note, I love my "premium" CX-5 GT, it really is a powerful, comfortable allrounder. The only other Mazda that catches my eye at this point is the CX-50. I know they're built with Toyota in the US however, do you know if Mazda would consider bringing it to Australia?
I believe the CX-50 is being considered but it is not currently being built in right hand drive
It's US only ... not being considered at all.
This is exciting stuff. We've been eyeing the Lexus NX but will look at the CX 60 now. As current owners of both Lexus and Mazda, this is a happy contest for us.
Yep, the CX-60 would have to be in contention I reckon.
NX is 2 yrs waiting though
Would love to know what you think about the Mazdas. In the market for a CX 5 now
The NX just feels blend to drive, while I hope this Mazda will be more exciting.
@@sarathmohan979 all reviews and customer thoughts are thats it bullet proof,im currently looking at going from my mazda 3 astina to the cx-5 ,,,maybe diesel ,, some good low milage ones out there as some people have been spooked by the higher price of diesael since the was ,but im hopeing it will come back in price next year
What size is the fuel tank? and what size are the tyres for the 20" wheels
Is the smoothness in transition between battery power and petrol something that could be tuned overtime through software? Sorry if thats a naive and loaded question! I imagine the change is handled by a chip or computer at some point
The PHEV and the Mild Hybrid Diesel variant are the interesting powertrains for this vehicle =)
I love that they’ve made all engines available across the range. 3.3 Diesel would be my pick every day of the week
pity about the 2 tonne towing though,,
We know how reliable Mazda Diesel are.
@@anubizz3 Mazda diesel are fantastic
My concern is about access to the driver seat: is the access as good as the CX8?
I see Tom is slowly morphing into every girl's favorite stepdad...
I choose to see that as a compliment!
Was it for Movember?
Tom my mum wants to know if your available to hook up for a game of Bridge or Twister? When’s the CX90 hit Aussie shores?
Russ
Creepy comment…
Agreed with the diesel being the most enticing on paper. Love the grunt and effortlessness of our 50TDI Q5 and hope that the CX-60 with the diesel can deliver 💪🏼
Is Mazda planning on bringing in any production models for test-drive models prior to delivery in June?
Also, how is the sound isolation compared to CX-5 and X3 ?
Let me find out for you.
@@chasingcars i want to know too lol looks great but not prepared to put money down to get early delivery before driving one,,,love my astina ,never had a problem with it after 6 years and mazda are such great builders of cars
Thank you Tom for another brilliant review! I’m a big fan of your work ❤ May I request you to do a comparison video of the Lexus Nx350h vs the equivalent grade of CX60? Something like the Cx9 vs Palisade, you had done before. Thank you..pls keep up the good work 😊
Will do as soon as we can!
@@chasingcars Thank you 👍
Yeah this is a great idea, head to head these bad boys and chuck everything at it, including some kids and those massive car booster seats and a heap of footballs ⚽️ in the boot 😁🏆
Is it compatible with Toyota kluger hybrid?
Thanks Mate 👍
I had two tributes and really liked its 6 cylinder engine.
Love the straight six. Awesome!
Good to see!
I am really looking forward to the cx90 7seat.
Any thoughts of gossip of that car
The CX-90 will be revealed soon.
Ordered mine last year in Azami straight six petrol. It should be good to tow caravan under 2500 kg atm which we also have on order. The car does represent good value compared to German rivals and Lexus costing more for less performance. People are complaining about the outputs of those engines but you can’t get that performance for that money in any Lexus, BMW or Audi.
Great review, looking forward to the fuel consumption of petrol engine, I don't think the premium of diesel and phev would be lower than the fuel saving cost lol
Yeah. I don't expect the petrol to be super-frugal, though I am fairly sure that Mazda claimed at the event that it would be better than the CX-5's 2.5-turbo engine.
The diesel will likely account for about 5% of total sales , but possibly not even that
Are you saying Australia will be getting the CX-90, in the future? If so, I thought only North America (USA, Canada & Mexico) was getting the CX-90 & CX-70.
Great review! I love your delivery, best on TH-cam I reckon. Also great car I think and great value at the Evolve range. But I suspect their biggest challenge will be to convince buyers that Mazda is a "premium" brand like Lexus , who I suspect will be a main competitor. I think the problem is that there are too many "cheap" Mazdas running around, which kind of diminishes their brand value, and this isn't as much of an issue for Lexus or those Euro brands.
Thanks for the feedback, Billy. Will be interesting to see what buyers think of the CX-60. Mazda has strong aspirations for it.
Love em! Petrol Turbo for me. Thanks Tom
It's quite an amazing suv. I only need to see with that price how it competes with the gv70
Good review, Tom. I still think the centre console is far too wide and takes up unnecessary space making it look cramped for taller drivers.
That could be the case but I won't really know until I spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel.
I'm tempted to upgrade to this from my Mazda 6 but the fact that this is the first in its line gives me shivers 😂😂😂😂😂
Is it worth to go for PHEV or go with mild hybrid?
Depends on what kind of buyer you are. With the new FBT exemption for EVs and PHEVs below the LCT threshold, it could be worth buying the Evolve PHEV if you're a salary packaging buyer. For most private buyers though I'd imagine it will be hard to recoup the $12,500 bump over the petrol in a short period. By my calculation it would take you about five years to break even, driving 20,000km per year.
@@chasingcars thanks for the info. I think, mild hybrid versions will be worth.
What about the interiors of the vehicle? Is it looks luxurious with quality materials?
I was looking at Audi however, they have ceased making the 3L T petrol V6 for the SQ5. I'm not into diesels so it didn't leave me with much choice other than the X3 or the more expensive Merc GLC 43. Not much choice out there for 6 cylinders these days. Until now.
Yeah, it’s rather thin on the ground these days. X3 M40i is a peach but it’s very pricey now.
@@chasingcarsX3 M40i would definitely be my choice in the BMW range. Don't think I could justify paying the extra $20k + for the X3M competition.
I'm really interested in how Mazda makes the 4.9L/100km fuel consumption possible for such a huge SUV.
Same. Will it perform in the real world? We'll see once we get the diesel out on the road.
Just plug it in regularly, but of course you will use more power
@@redwhite_040 I think he is talking about the diesel variant rather than the PHEV version.
The turbo 3.3 diesel sounds a winner.
Being waiting for a review of this vehicle
Hope this satisfied! We will drive the petrol and diesel next year -- hopefully sooner rather than later.
Thorough .. job done
Dear Mazda,
Please slide a inline6 into a slinky Mazda6 wagon, Soul Red, Tan
thanks in advance
Thanks for changing service intervals ... finally
Would love a Mazda 6 wagon with RWD and the new six-cylinder petrol or diesel engine.
Are all of the variants AWD?
Yes they are.
As a CX5 owner really interested in this!
Walking CX-5 people up to the CX-60 is a key focus: www.chasingcars.com.au/news/car-industry/mazda-wants-to-stop-buyers-going-to-bmw-audi-with-new-cx-60-luxury-suv/
I think ironically this cx60 design looks more dated that the cx5. The cx5 looks more smooth and expensive. Like I said this just looks dated (at least on the outside)
@@alb0zfinest Mazda really fall a asleep since they try to conquer US market. they focus on Fat lazy fuel hungry SUV.
Should I wait for this, or get the azami cx9 now. I don't need 7 seats but the cx9 is a full capable spacey SUV. thanks
This should drive even better than CX-9, so if you can wait, then do so - and take this for a test drive in June.
@@chasingcars Thank you ! Much appreciated
Mazda has done it again, made it the beautiful Japanese luxurious vehicle..
Cut throat pricing backed with superb reliability looks like a recipe for success. However, this is the first generation of CX-60. Hence, it would be wise to wait for atleast first 18 months after the car hits the road so that all teething issues and niggles are sorted out. Mazda with the launch of CX-60 in all variants has surely put other car manufacturers on notice. This is a good strategy by far as it gives the buyer various options. Cx-60 is postioned as a premium Suv at an affordable price. Value for money on offer makes it a compelling purchase compared to other premium cars including BMW, LEXUS, MERCEDES-BENZ and even Genesis.
It could work - if the cars drive well. That's pivotal.
Not sure where superb reliability comes from in relation to Mazda. They need to treat their customers better. There is more to a car then just the car. The after sales experience matters. Not just treating people like suckers because they were dumb enough to overpay for your vehicles.
@@EDITS_SC that goes for most of the manufacturers. The worst customer service you would find will be at the European car dealerships with additional attitude. Experience at Lexus, was refreshing change for me. Will be buying the next generation car from this Brand in the near future for sure.
Keen to learn the fuel consumption on the mild hybrids
We’ll test it independently as soon as we can.
What is the cost of the cheapest base model phev?

@@chasingcars cheers
No problem!
Good pricing at lower levels but I think I would take the Lexus NX450h at the top level they also throw in a free wall charger as well as Lexus Encore benefits
Good point about those extra inclusions on NX450h+ - though at $90K you'd want the free charger IMO.
@@chasingcars p50e Azami is 87k plus the SP pack is $2000 NX450h is $89,900
Well… the $87,500 P50e Azami with SP is a higher-spec vehicle than an NX450h+ F Sport. It's also $2500 cheaper - wallbox money? And 14kW more powerful. Lexus Encore Platinum benefits definitely stand out, though.
Has Mazda comment on the low power output of the 3.3 turbo petrol engine ? Is it for fuel economy ?
I'm on my 2nd Mazda. This is really nice.
Is that just me or did anyone else notice that both the apple CarPlay and instrument cluster had some lags??
Looking forward to testing it out properly when the car launches.
Dealers product guides should be available now & Mazdas Configurator is on Mazda Australia's Website
Indeed.
Looking at the CX60. Not sure if I should order the PHEV or the 6 cylinder petrol. The diesel worries me with DPF problems arcoss other manufacturers.
Not sure of the diesel advantages at $2.40 per litre in some areas.
I put an order in for a GT inline 6 petrol. You get the 2k discount, and 15k service interval vs 10k on diesel. The service is also slightly cheaper. It's going to be faster and slightly lighter on the front than diesel. But I think the dpf issues stuff is overated if you drive it hard. Note its also a euro 5 not a euro 6 compliant motor so thats good. Would take years of driving and the car would be old by the time you get money back for PHEV. I wouldn't want one second hand after warranty expires - you?
If you're salary sacrificing, the PHEV is a no brainer due to FBT exemption.
Seems like a nice car. I don’t like the fact that they’re all hybrid. I’d prefer just a diesel engine. No battery power
I kinda like the sound of the gt though for the money your looking at a Sorrento HEV with 7 seats.
Nit picking I guess. I'm surprised there's no front seat ventilation for the gt spec, at that price point to.
Guess the question is whether you want a big turbo six then.
@@chasingcars Trade off's from both end's.
Thank you Mazda for 3.3 turbo petrol/diesel....😍😍😍
There’s something NQR about that front clip.
Is it that it’s too soft compared to the more angular Mazda style
Mazda normally 100% nails styling but this is a slightly different look. It might grow on us.
When is the driving review is coming? As the car has reached Australia
Tomorrow morning.
Waiting for that. If possible petrol and plug in
it is here finally
This is it!
Just imagine if they chucked the 3.3L engine in the Mazda 3...the Perfect mazda ?
Kudos to Mazda for coming out with such a beast of an engine, 3.3L TURBO!. Fantastic option for car enthusiasts who want a 'high' performance family SUV. I'm seriously considering of replacing our RX350 with the new CX60. Also appreciate the great initial review.
Good point that the CX-60 provides an option for Lexus/Volvo buyers who don't want to downsize out of sixes as those brands are now forcing.
I am not sure HIGH performance is a term I would use, I am sure it will be a smooth effortless powertrain but there have been many other brands with NA 6s producing similar power(less torque). I am no Euro expert but this 6 gets Mazda around the same mark as 10 year old BMW and Volvo powertrains. Admittedly the price of entry is cheaper and reliability will surely be better.
It will be way cleaner, more efficient and reliable than the 10 year old europeans
@@winson5551 no doubt.
Love Mazda, would by the cx60 in a heartbeat.
Great looking car.
The long bonnet, together with soft materials used inside, makes this car look really premium.
D/A price for the mid range GT 3.3L straight six MHEV would probably be in the low to mid $70Ks.
BTW, is the entertainment unit a touch screen?
It's a touchscreen when stationary I believe.
Look forward to the 3.3l Petrol drive review.
I've mine now suprised no reviews yet. It's cool and feels fast enough but maybe a tad more body roll then I would like. Very happy and driving around Sydney for no reason. 😂
Touchscreen ?
iStop ?
I'm a range junkee so diesel hands down. If the tank is bigger than the phev's 50 litre I might be off to the dealer.
Fair enough, and the diesel will really suit those who do high-milers I think.
Cut & paste oops oon Azami lines in the model range table?
Not sure Mark, have you got a timecode? Complex edit as you might imagine.
The table around 30 secs in. It lists 3 Azami petrols instead of the three engines.
mazda is an incredible marque that never ceases to impress me
Haha. PR by name, PR by nature!
Looks identical in size to the CX-5 we have in North America
Sizing differences are covered in the video - it's almost 17cm longer than the CX-5, and considerably wider.
Been waiting to see this info release. The base model is too pricey considering its lack of features at nearly 65K. You're better off for eg, with the TS WRX Wagon for its features for the price. If you can, buy a higher trim. GT trim in a diesel looks the goods to me. Good review as always Tom
Or, indeed, Mazda's own 6 Atenza wagon, which remains a great vehicle. But yeah, GT diesel looks like a peach…
@@chasingcars actually, if I'm completely honest and had my time again, I'd have bought the 6 Atenza wagon, its really a great car
I wish Mazda took the same approach of offering every engine with every trim for the rest of their lineup. Instead of hiding their turbos behind thousands of dollars of features I don't care about.
It’s a nice strategy.
I want the Tribute
Very clean Tribute!
Does anyone have a car with white seats ? Just wondering how they wear 🤔
I actually do! We have a great detailing place who does like an interior seal - I now wear jeans on the leather, no marks. I do a quarterly wipe with soapy water. Works a treat.
From Mazda website entry level model cx60 inline six petrol charge $65k not $59k. Gt model charge $72k Did Mazda increase price in 2023. No one paying that much money for a Mazda
Hi Tom, has Mazda improved the quality of the carpet? Probably the cheapest and nasties part of any Mazda...
Also, only 2 way lumbar adjustment, and no thigh cushion adjust either.
Didn't notice that the carpets were poxy but I will check again when I next see the car. You are right that the lumbar is bizarrely still only two-way. My legs suit the fixed cushion fine, but I appreciate that some people like that thigh extender piece you get on some rivals (notably X3).
@@chasingcars Great stuff Tom. Apparently Mazda and Kia carpet is the most lamented in the industry!
@@yjs yes the carpet in my kia sportage didnt last long at all...but it was such a great price and its a good car,,so nice in the twisty roads to,,,i should have gone for the 2.5 lt or diesel , but was a bit restricted on price,,,still a nice car to drive on long hauls
I can’t believe this car is not going to be released in the US 😭
It will but as the CX-70
Full size spare or a no use at all size spare ?
I have just confirmed it is space-saver:
3.3 petrol & 3.3 diesel: T155/90D18 113M (temporary)
PHEV: Repair kit
@@chasingcars Thank you for checking
Is this will available in Malaysia?
175mm ground clearance which is the same as cx-30
No 3rd zone climate control for the 2nd row? That seems like a big oversight for a top of the range model aiming at the big luxury brand competitors. Doesn't a basic MK 8 Golf have 3 zone climate control?
Yeah, many VWs have basic temperature control for the rear (if not fan speed)
i rather have the Naturally Aspirated engine because it will be much more reliable in the long run.
Was looking forward to this. Was reported that Mazda was going to bring the standard 2.5 petrols first. What happened? May be sluggish but it will be certainly more affordable. Those spending north of 80k probably won’t be looking at a Mazda. I know I wouldn’t be.
I suggest that Mazda didn't want to launch a luxury-grade SUV with a non-luxury grade engine.
Would not say a massive step up from the cx none 0 models currently on sale. It looks ok. 3.3 turbo is not even impressive on paper. Look at stinger as reference. Anyway. Let’s wait and see. Price like this will not be a volume seller.
Understressed?
wow
3.3L petrol please
👍🏼
I think many people will need to see confirmed fuel economy figures now diesel is well over $2 a litre. The Hyundai Santa Fe and Palisade diesel achieves so very attractive economy. 6 cylinders and 3.3L may scare many people until we get confirmed fuel economy. Should also be noted that at least on state places a heavy penalty on 6 cylinder engines on registration costs/tax compared to 4 cylinder. For others, a Tesla model Y at the same money will be better value
Let's see how it goes - however, the ADR81/02 test is a useful baseline, so with a claim of 4.9L/100km I'd be unhappy if we couldn't get 7L/100km…
@@chasingcars So you believe they will surpass Toyota in their own game?
I think the fake exhaust grill likely came from meeting room where aconducted by the former executives still "must have".
Possibly.
You still have that Ron Jeremy look 😂
Perhaps he has the Tom Baker look.
I was really interested in this car till I found out the ground clearance is only 175mm which is the same as the much smaller CX-30.😂
2008 lancer is what I drive, vroom vroom skirrrt!
Is it 2x4 or 4x4? Not that you would really take it off-road.
Rear biased 4wd.
The PHEV is a dead duck at that pricing.
Much lower than other PHEVs of the same size, barely more than an Outlander PHEV…I don't see the problem with its pricing in isolation, other than the fact the six-cylinder engines are so desirable and a lot cheaper (OK, that's a problem!)
@@chasingcars Which one would you go for? Outlander PHEV or CX60 PHEV? I am after a family SUV that is a hybrid. I am also looking at the RAV4 but I would like to buy the next gen as the current one is getting old.
Having driven the CX-60 and Outlander PHEVs now, I'd say the CX-60 is a higher quality, more luxurious vehicle with better handling. Makes the Mitsubishi look overpriced.
@@chasingcars Great thanks for the info. Do you know anything about the next gen rav4 when its coming?
@@chasingcars PHEVs are all overpriced for what you get.
I wish Mazda would get rid of Soul Red as just about every CX5 you see is in that colour plus there have been problems with this colour in terms of quality.
They are shortly bringing in a new red called artisan red premium - darker than soul red.
@@chasingcars yes, apparently Mazda put out a huge press release just talking about this new red.
09:30 I like the CX-5 look way better . The CX60 rear is a twin to 2020-23 Klugar 🤦♂
Nice review and the car looks good but as a Tribute owned I don’t trust in Mazda anymore. Was the worst car I had in my life broken 2 times.
CX-60 vs XC-60, go!
We will do it!
