Mazda did not want to make a big fuss out of launching the CX-60, even though it is an extremely important new model. It is not only the company’s first plug-in hybrid, but it also debuts a new rear-wheel drive platform that Mazda wants to use to move future models upmarket called Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture.
The CX-60 is all about capturing a crafted, luxury feel - it is Mazda’s flagship vehicle and one that reflects its premium ambitions. This is evident on the exterior through the long hood, which hides a longitudinally-mounted engine and the swept-back greenhouse, similar proportions to vehicles from BMW and other established luxury players.
The exterior does a very convincing impression of a luxury car and it’s carried over inside what has to be Mazda’s best interior ever. It still has the same uncluttered, minimalist design as other vehicles in its current range, but through subtle details and uses of material, it looks a cut above.
