The Mazda CX-60 updates are primarily focused around the ride quality, handling and refinement. Here’s pricing and details.
The Mazda CX-60 is the Japanese brand’s foray into the premium segment. There are three derivatives on offer, starting off with the Dynamic which is powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. There’s 141 kW and 265 Nm driving the rear wheels. The Individual offers additional content plus the same engine paired to an all-wheel-drive setup.
The flagship Takumi offers an incredible engine. Its a 3.3-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel with mild-hybrid technology. It too is all-wheel drive and thanks to 187 kW and 550 Nm, it pretty brisk with Mazda claiming a 0-100 kph time of 7.3 seconds. We managed 7.41 – yes, it is that brisk!
But, if there was one dynamic element holding the CX-60 back, it was the ride quality, handling and refinement, something which Mazda Southern Africa has addressed. The Mazda CX-60 updates stem from global driver feedback and aim to make the car more comfortable and refined.
On the suspension side of things, the springs are softened and there’s increased damping force. The front knuckle on the steering setup has been adjusted which Mazda reckons gives the car ‘greater precision and confidence.’
The all-wheel drive calibration has been revised with the software ensuring smoother power delivery and optimised traction. Finally, the gearbox noise has been reduced for a quieter drive. Visually, Mazda SA has added a new colour, called Zircon Sand to the palette.
