New Mazda CX-60 to arrive this autumn
Arriving in the UK this autumn to expand Mazda’s award-winning SUV range, the all-new Mazda CX-60 joins the UK line-up above the ever-popular 2022 Mazda CX-5. The Mazda CX-60 flagship SUV is launched with Mazda’s first plug-in hybrid technology powertrain, which combines a Skyactiv-G 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a 100 kW electric motor and a 17.8 kWh high-capacity battery.
Offered in the UK in three highly specified trim grades: Exclusive-Line, Homura and Takumi, customer choice is further enhanced with the ability to add two option packs across all grades: Convenience Pack and Driver Assistance Pack, with a Comfort Pack available on Exclusive-Line.
The interior introduces the ideas of ‘Kaichou’ – an element of disruption which mixes different textures and materials. In the Exclusive-Line and Homura models, the cabin mixes black leather, dark dash trim and chrome surrounds, while the range-topping Takumi takes the principles of Kaichou to the next level by mixing different materials and textures such as white nappa leather, maple wood, chrome and high quality fabrics.
The Mazda CX-60 Takumi also features maple wood trim on the doors and central transmission tunnel and treatment of the wood reflects the Japanese aesthetic of Hacho – asymmetrical balance or intentional unevenness. Matched on the doors to real metal trim, the maple wood works with the light nappa leather, the diverse patterns of the woven fabrics and Kakenui hanging stitching to deliver a uniquely premium cabin experience deeply rooted in Japanese heritage.
Optional on Homura and Takumi models the £1,000 panoramic roof delivers plentiful amounts of natural light into the CX-60’s beautifully designed cabin, while the optional Convenience Pack adds privacy glass.
The interior design concept of the CX-60’s cabin sees a wide instrument panel with continuous lines which run through the cabin, while the horizontally symmetrical layout is centred around the driver to deliver the same carefully considered cockpit design found on all Mazda cars. It offers an ergonomically excellent driving position that feels natural and supportive, with the ideal pedal and seat alignment.
Mazda claims the new CX-60 offers class-leading quality, new levels of technology and a premium cabin ‘inspired by the precision and beauty of Japanese craft’.
