The Mazda CX-60 is in showrooms now, and certain models have received pricing revisions following the premium mid-sized SUV’s launch.
These price adjustments are due to revised Luxury Car Tax (LCT) thresholds that came into effect on July 1. All CX-60 models are priced below the respective LCT thresholds.
The range starts at $59,800 before on-road costs for the Evolve 3.3T I6 petrol AWD, and extends to $85,500 before on-road costs for the Azami 2.5 I4 PHEV AWD.
UPDATE, 30/08/2023 – We have updated this article to reflect updated pricing due to Luxury Car Tax (LCT) changes from July 1, as well as service pricing for the range and fuel economy figures for the petrol engine.
Mazda has stuck to familiar variant nameplates, with the CX-60 available in Evolve, GT, and Azami spec levels.
The CX-60 is offered with new inline-six petrol and diesel engines, as well as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain across all three trim levels.
In terms of performance, technology, interior design and finish, and price, it’s nudging into new territory for the company.
The CX-60 is underpinned by Mazda’s new ‘Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture’, which is designed to support rear- or all-wheel drive and will underpin more future premium models.
Driver assistance systems available on some models include a ‘See-Through View’ for the surround-view camera; and a system that adjusts the seats, wheel, head-up display and mirrors to match the driver’s eye position and uses facial recognition to remember presets for the vehicle, audio and climate settings.
All prices are before on-road costs, but include Luxury Car Tax (LCT) where applicable.
Power in the 2023 Mazda CX-60 comes from a range of three powertrains which are available on all trim levels.
The 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine produces 209kW of power and 450Nm of torque. Mazda claims models with this engine equipped can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.9 seconds.
