Mazda of all companies: In recent years our editorial team had several test cars of this brand that were very cleverly tuned. Mazda generally has a good knack for how to make things work together to create a harmonious coexistence. The CX-60 was a disappointment. Apparently we weren’t the only ones who saw it that way, and so Mazda revamped the SUV two and a half years later.

One focus of this small model upgrade concerns chassis tuning. In testing, the CX-60 came across with a harshness that didn’t really fit the concept. With the changes, Mazda promises greater ride comfort, greater driving stability and increased steering precision. To achieve this, the geometry and damping of the front suspension were modified. On the rear axle, Mazda combines soft springs and dampers that have a strong characteristic curve. In addition, the software for the vehicle dynamics control and power steering as well as the all-wheel drive system were modified. It remains to be seen what the result will be.
The range of engines remains unchanged in the German market. Mazda offers two 3.3-litre inline six-cylinder diesels producing 147 and 187 kW. The 241 kW plug-in hybrid is currently at the forefront of customer choice. The energy content of its battery is 17.8 kWh, which can be recharged at a maximum of 7.2 kWh. The internal charger is two-stage. This means that the car’s maximum charging power can also be used on a three-phase 11 kW wallbox at home. Mazda specifies electric range up to 64 km in WLTP.
slight increase in price
Mazda is raising prices for the new model year. The basic model “Prime-Line” now costs 47,990 euros instead of 47,390. The “Homura” equipment series will be more expensive in Germany and in the future will come with, among other things, black Nappa leather seat covers and a black interior headliner. There are new “Homura Plus” and “Takumi Plus” equipment lines, which have slightly different pronunciation and cost the same. The 2025 model year can be ordered now and will be delivered in Germany from February 2025.
