Mazda CX-60 Revealed – Coming to Australia in late 2022

Mazda Australia has officially revealed the brand-new luxury Mazda CX-60 which is due to be released in Australia in late 2022. Riding the SUV wave of popularity, Mazda has decided to enter the premium SUV market – becoming a direct competitor to the BMW, Audi, and Mercedes premium SUV options.

What makes this news so exciting for Australian Motorists is the CX-60 will be a brand-new model for the Mazda fleet. The Mazda CX-60 will give motorists the option of rear and all-wheel drive, this is the first time Mazda will offer all-wheel drive for almost 20 years. The CX-60 will have a similar look and shell of fellow CX-5 and CX-9 models, but power, safety and technology will differ.

Australian Pricing for the Mazda CX-60 has yet to be announced but as a brand-new premium model expect prices to rival those of the Audi Q5 or the BMW X3. A strong indicator of the potential price point for the CX-60 can be found overseas. In Europe, where the CX-60 will arrive first, prices start from $79,155 AUD.

Here’s what we know about the Mazda CX-60.

Design

The Mazda CX-60 will keep the design consistent with its trademark, stylish SUV shell similar to that of the CX range. The CX-60 will come with the option of 18 or 20-inch alloy wheels and eight different paint colour options. The colour options are Crystal Blue, Signature Red Crystal, Jet Black, Sonic Silver, Arctic White, Rhodium White, Platinum Quartz, and Machine Grey.

The CX-60 will also come with LED beam lights, LED daytime lights, LED taillights, multi-link rear suspension, electric power steering.

Power and Engine Size

The Mazda CX-60 will have a straight-six non-turbo petrol 3.0-litre engine or a 3.3-litre turbo-diesel engine. Mazda has also announced that the CX-60 will have a new eight speed automatic transmission with a multi-place clutch and new regenerative braking features.

Further information regarding the CX-60 engine and specifications are expected to be released closer to the release date.

Safety Features

The CX-60 is an almost certainty to have a 5-star ANCAP safety rating upon arrival. The CX-60 will come with autonomous emergency braking, Pedestrian and Cyclist detection braking, lane-assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, fatigue detection, traffic sign recognition, hill decent control, exit warnings and a brand new 360-degree safety camera system.

Technology

The Mazda CX-60 will have an array of new technology that will amaze you. Inside the CX-60 you will see a brand-new 12.3-inch display multimedia touchscreen that includes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

One of the exciting new features of the CX-60 is a brand-new Driver Personalisation System. The DPS includes a high-definition camera that uses facial recognition technology that can analyse the driver specifications and automatically adjust the seat, and steering wheel to their unique specifications.

Another cool innovative feature that will come with the CX-60 is the ability to remotely lock and unlock the vehicles doors via the MyMazda App. Owners can also gain the vehicles tracking position, pre-set a navigation, access the vehicles fuel level, tyre pressure and have the ability to book in a service or request roadside assistance.

Some more technology insights can be found in the European options. Some details on Europe’s CX-60 show the vehicle will include power-adjustable steering column, 12-speaker Bose surround system, head-up display, and ambient lighting options.

More information on the Mazda CX-60’s technology will become available closer to the release date.

Final Word,

The CX-60 is set to be a game-changer for Mazda. The CX-60 will have a familiar look and feel of already popular CX-5 and CX-5 models but will offer far superior safety, technology and innovative features that simply cannot be matched by many premium SUV models. More information on the Mazda CX-60 is set to become available later this year, stay tuned.
