The all-new Mazda CX-60 is Mazda's first PHEV and is aimed squarely at the plug-in Toyota RAV4 - can it beat it?
Inside, it doesn’t stray too far from the Mazda template. Touchscreens are mercifully absent, with physical controls for both the climate control and 12.3in infotainment - the latter controlled via a rotary dial/buttons set-up. It’s so sensible that it does make you question the logic of German rivals fromRear leg room is marginally up on the Mazda CX-5 sibling, as you’d expect in a car that is 172mm longer between the wheels.
Where the new car does improve markedly is engine note. The CX-5 can drone on and I feared the CX-60 would be the same as both run the 2.5-litre petrol. But thanks to the electric assistance and all the extra punch it offers, you don’t need to delve into the upper reaches of the rev range as much. When you do, it sounds a bit gruff but not to the level of the 5. Isolation is better here and the eight-speed gearbox more sophisticated. Thanks to the electric motor boost, rapid family hacks like this aren’t exactly fresh news, but it’s still a bit of a shock as to how fast the CX-60 piles on the mph. It would be an easy pedal for any sort of journey.
Electric-only running is smooth and with more than enough oomph for accelerating up to 60mph. Obviously 188mpg is completely unrealistic, but we managed near 80mpg over a couple of hours of running.The ride generally feels quite polished. It’s got a double-wishbone front/multi-link rear set-up so there’s decent hardware in place and it’s well controlled. As with a lot of Mazdas, it’s at the firmer end of the spectrum within the widerAnd the flip side is good body control.
