Introduction

What Car? says...

It’s a fair bet that more young footballers aspire to play for Arsenal than Accrington Stanley – and like them, car maker Mazda wants to compete in the big leagues. So, can the Mazda CX-60 make it a top scorer?

Before we answer that, what exactly is the CX-60? Well, it's a large SUV that’s bigger, more powerful and a bit more indulgent than the very competent Mazda CX-5

Three trim levels are available and each has a generous list of equipment, and there aren’t too many optional extras offered. If you want seven seats, though, you’ll need to head towards the Hyundai Santa Fe or Kia Sorento – or perhaps wait for Mazda's forthcoming CX-80 seven-seat SUV.

In this review, we’ll tell you everything you need to know to decide whether the Mazda CX-60 is the car for you. Over the next few pages, we'll find out whether it's good to drive, how strong the performance is, if it’s comfortable for the driver and passengers, and whether it’s cheap to run.

Once you’ve chosen your next car, make sure you get it for the lowest price by searching our free What Car? New Car Deals pages. They list lots of the best new large SUV deals.

FAQs

  • It’s already here. Mazda currently offers it in diesel and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) form, and a non-hybrid petrol-engined version will be coming soon.

  • You can check the latest prices using our New Car Deals service but the two-wheel-drive diesel is the least expensive CX-60 and undercuts many diesel large SUV rivals such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is pricier but still undercuts the Lexus NX 450h+.

  • Both models have seats for five, but the CX-60 is bigger at 4745mm compared with the Mazda CX-5 which is 4550mm long.

  • While both cars are five-seat SUVs, the CX-60 is a larger vehicle and an addition to the Mazda SUV range. It sits in the aptly named large SUV category, while the Mazda CX-5 is a smaller family SUV.

  • While some large SUVs including the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento have seven seats, the CX-60 is a five-seater like the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes GLC.
