The 2023 Mazda CX-60 is the most luxurious SUV from the Japanese brand and will be offered as a petrol, diesel and plug-in electric hybrid model.
Mazda’s ambition with the CX-60 is to compete head-to-head with German’s premium SUV set, the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5. This gives a good indication of the intent of hte CX-60 in terms of not only design but also luxury offering.
There’s a lot to like about the Mazda CX-60, if you can justify the price. The first models will arrive in April 2023.

The interior aims to deliver on the idea of being a true luxury alternative to the Germans with premium materials and a focus on fit and finish.
Based on what we have seen so far, the interior feels like a step up from Mazda’s current offerings. We aren’t huge fans of the design of the doors and centre console; it doesn’t really scream premium and lacks the refinement and feel of some German equivalents.
The Takumi specification Mazda showed at the CX-60’s global reveal featured a white interior with maple wood, along with a fabric dashboard with Kakenui stitching. It looks amazing in pictures and we can’t wait to see it in person.
Outside of those materials, the rest of the interior feels high-class and premium. Soft-touch materials along the dashboard, centre console, and door trims mean high-frequency touch points are adequately covered.
Second-row passengers get to experience the same level of quality as the fronts, with no real skimping on materials. Sometimes manufacturers will cheap out on the second row because they think nobody will notice. That means soft-touch materials along the door, decent storage within the doors, and a decent central arm rest with cupholders.
Mazda has equipped the CX-60 cabin with USB-C connectivity in the front and second rows. Depending on specification you’ll also find wireless phone charging, along with a 12V outlet.
The infotainment screen comes in at 12.3 inches, as does the display ahead of the driver. Smartphone mirroring comes in the form of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with audio featuring AM, FM and DAB+ digital radio. A 12-speaker Bose sound system is also available on some grades, which integrates a subwoofer under the boot floor.
The display ahead of the driver can also be configured in a number of styles – there’s even the ability to supersize the text within the display if you find the regular font size too small.
The Mazda CX-60 is currently unrated by ANCAP, but it received a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP this year.
All 2023 Mazda CX-60 models receive the following safety equipment:
Features such as the see-through view in the surround-view camera, front cross-traffic alert, cruising and traffic support, and driver monitoring are available on the $2000 optional Vision Technology package, where they’re standard on the Azami.
