What The Press Have To Say: 2025 Mazda CX-60

It means ‘continuous improvement’ in Japanese, and it’s a mantra that applies to everything at Mazda, from the commitment to improving the safety of its vehicles to the ongoing dedication to a ‘one size fits one’ customer service approach and much, much more.

The latest beneficiary of this forward thinking is the 2025 Mazda CX-60. Having launched in 2022 with a series of firsts for the brand – the introduction of a PHEV, inline six petrol and diesel engines with 48V mild hybrid technology, and rear-biased AWD – the model takes another step forward with a series of updates that make it an even more compelling proposition in the midsize SUV segment. Mazda’s focus on Jinba Ittai is further honed through chassis revisions that include rear suspension set-up changes to enhance comfort and stability, while transmission calibrations now result in even smoother and more responsive shifts.

In addition to two new model variants and more standard equipment across the range than before, the price has also significantly dropped, making the CX-60 even more accessible and appealing. To test the efficacy of these running changes, Australia’s key automotive media were invited to sample the range back-to-back and feel the exact differences in real time compared to the outgoing model at one of the country’s most iconic testing facilities, Lang Lang Proving Ground.


> With new interior design features and technical revisions, Mazda announces the 2025 Mazda CX-60.
> With an unchanged engine line-up, the 2025 Mazda CX-60 will arrive in the UK in early summer 2025.
> Today, the current Mazda CX-60 is better value than ever with enhanced finance offers.

Mazda has announced the latest evolution of the Mazda CX-60 that will sit at the heart of its SUV range alongside the all-new Mazda CX-80 three-row SUV. Arriving in the UK early summer next year, the 2025 Mazda CX-60 subtly enhances the award-winning model with small refinements to its interior design combined with measured technical revisions.

On sale since summer 2022, the current Mazda CX-60 has impressed with an engine line-up that includes Mazda’s first-plug in hybrid powertrain and an all-new 3.3-litre inline six-cylinder diesel. Today, thanks to a new highly competitive finance offering, the current Mazda CX-60 is more affordable than ever and offers a unique in class combination of value and customer attributes in the premium SUV sector.

Today, the enhanced and extremely competitive finance offerings make the current Mazda CX-60 an attractive and compelling proposition for customers looking for a high-class SUV. Offered across all trim grades on both the PHEV and e-Skyactiv D MHEV engines, customers can now benefit from an enhanced £1,200 Finance Deposit Contribution when financing on both 0% PCP (50% minimum customer deposit required)* on vehicles ordered by 31st December 2024 and registered by 31st March 2025. In addition, a half price Solo 7kw universal home charger is offered with PHEV models^.

When the 2025 Mazda CX-60 arrives in the UK in early summer next year, updates include interior changes to the Homura grade that replicate the cabin of the CX-80 Homura. This includes new black Nappa leather seats and a revised dash panel. The roof and pillars feature black lining, while cabin panels have been revised to a matt black and metal-like finish. At the top of the range, the Takumi grade retains an unchanged interior that embodies Mazda’s commitment to Japanese aesthetics and craftmanship with high-quality materials such as real maple wood and Japanese textiles in perfect harmony with Nappa leather and a light cabin ambiance.

Technical updates to the 2025 are equally subtle, with the powertrain line-up remaining unchanged and a chassis set-up that continues to provide a refined driving experience. Revisions include rear suspension set-up changes to enhance comfort and stability, an example being softer rear spring and firmer shock absorber settings that are aligned with recalibrated stability systems to improve overall handling and comfort balance in line with Mazda’s Jinba Ittai ethos. Another update to the 2025 Mazda CX-60 is the introduction of the Zircon Sand metallic paint colour, which is currently offered on the 2025 Mazda CX-30, Mazda MX-30 and 2025 Mazda3.

Commenting on the current Mazda CX-60 finance offer, Mazda Motors UK, Managing Director, Jeremy Thomson, said: “the Mazda CX-60 is a standout model in our SUV range in the UK and with this new finance package its now an even more tempting proposition for retail customers. I’m delighted that as we look forward to the 2025 Mazda CX-60, the current car has one of the most competitive finance packages in the sector.”

- I have Mazda cx60 GT purchased on April 2025 without the latest suspension upgrade and I feel the ride is stiff and harsh makes the ride uncomfortable. I haven’t had any idea about the new version otherwise I would have waited. Mazda should offer this upgrade at least to the existing 2025 customers .

- It's a CX60. Since it's Australia, maybe it's Koshi Inaba from B'z? Good luck~👋 From retired Mazda teacher Matsuda♀️5

- I love that they’ve recognised they got the pricing wrong and done something about it rather than digging their heels in on the ridiculous pricing. And I commend them for sticking with the 6’s - that diesel is a pretty compelling option and a welcome change to the dull hybrids and PHEV’s that we are going to be seeing widespread.

- I still love my 2024 CX-60. I bought it new, and while there was a recall, I’m impressed with its power, ride quality, and electronics. That said, the driver detection system still has issues, and the sunglasses holder has an annoying rattle. Still, the car is quick, and I’m glad it retains the anti-roll bar.

- I’m old enough to remember the impact Japanese cars had on the NZ/Aus car markets in the 60’s and 70’s, and in my opinion the same thing is about to happen all over again - the established legacy brands are running on borrowed time unless they can cosy up with the new wave of Chinese tech, at costs that they currently can’t match. Get ready for the avalanche of new names , great performing, great value options all ready on their way - watch this space . . .

- Test drove one of these when shopping for my current car. Beautiful car to drive and such a smooth inline six. But the recalls scared me off this. Just been way too many. Feel like Mazda really half cooked their new SUVs before releasing to the public. Hope their EVs aren’t the same.
