Mazda CX-60 Interior Will Offer A Brand New Experience

Wefirst caught a glimpseof the sophisticated CX-60 back in November 2021, when unofficial images of the luxury SUV surfaced on Instagram. While it retains the familiar Mazda styling courtesy of the brand's Kodo styling philosophy, the CX-60 looks suitably upmarket courtesy of slim headlights, a chrome-trimmed radiator grille, and an uncluttered design.

It's unlikely that the rear-wheel-drive luxury Mazda will make its way over to the states, as we already have theCX-50, a more rugged, off-road biased version of the CX-5. Also in the cards for American consumers are the CX-70 and CX-90, both of which are expected to arrive this year.

Mazda's SUV onslaught is part of a plan to cement its presence in the ever-growing SUV segment, while still remaining focused on efficiency and sustainability.

Mazda says the CX-60 will be powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with an electric motor, toproduce more than 300 horsepower. Aside from the four-pot, Mazda has made quite a fuss about creating premium models with six-pot engines. It's very likely that the CX-60 will receive the new straight-six Skyactiv-X powertrains with a mild-hybrid 48-volt system.

Based on our positive first impression of the CX-50 and the talented Mazda range, the Hiroshima-based brand is set to succeed with the upcoming CX-60. While we still don't know much about the premium two-row SUV as yet, we're just a few days away from the imminent reveal. It may not have the badge appeal of an Audi Q5 or BMW X3, but Mazda is aiming high and, based on the teasers and what we've seen, this mainstream SUV may have what it takes to give more prestigious offerings a black eye.
