The new Mazda CX-60 was introduced in 2023 and sits at the top of Mazda’s range in South Africa. Here’s how much the new flagship Mazda will cost you…
The Mazda CX-60 is the Japanese firm’s newest passenger vehicle and it arrived on local dealership floors in May 2023. The CX-60’s arrival was followed up with the launch of the impressively powerful CX-60 3.3 DE Takumi flagship in 2024 and the firm recently introduced an updated CX-60 to market, boasting improvements to ride quality, handling and refinement.
Revealed in March 2022, the CX-60 is the first of Mazda’s so-called “Large Product” group models and as such rides on the Japanese firm’s new rear-wheel-drive platform. The 5-seater SUV measures 4 745 mm long, 1890 mm wide and stands 1 680 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2 870 mm.
That makes it 170 mm longer from bow to stern than the CX-5 (with an extra 170 mm between its axles as well) above which it is positioned. Mazda claims a luggage capacity of 570 litres (including under-floor storage), a figure that balloons to 1 148 litres with the rear bench folded flat.
In South Africa, 3 derivatives are available to buyers, including the base CX-60 Dynamic front-wheel-drive derivative, the all-wheel-drive CX-60 Individual derivative and the range-topping CX-60 3.3 DE Takumi.
