Malaysia-bound Mazda CX-60 gets an upgrade for 2025

KUALA LUMPUR: Globally introduced in 2022, the Mazda CX-60 is one of the most highly anticipated models set to launch in Malaysia soon. Well, ahead of the local arrival, the SUV received a subtle upgrade in the European market.

So, what does the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-60 bring to the table?

The 2025 Mazda CX-60 brings a mix of subtle interior design and technical updates. Let’s know them in detail - 

Interior upgrades 

Inspired by the Mazda CX-80 Homura, the CX-60 Homura variant interior now features black Nappa leather seats and a revised dashboard panel. The roof and pillars of the cabin now boast a black lining, while cabin panels benefit from a matt black and metal-like finish.

The top-spec Takumi version, however, retains the same interior design with premium materials like real maple wood, Japanese textiles, and Nappa leather.

Technical updates  

Under the skin, the Mazda CX-60 received an important upgrade in the form of a revised rear suspension setup. It features softer rear springs, firmer shock absorbers, and recalibrated stability systems, offering better handling and ride comfort. The re-tuned suspension aligns with the brand’s "Jinba Ittai" philosophy (driver and car in harmony).  

The Mazda CX-60 powertrain options remain unchanged as earlier, including 

• A 3.3-litre inline-six turbocharged mild hybrid engine producing 280 hp and 450 Nm of torque. 
• A 3.3-litre turbocharged diesel option that churns out 250 hp and 550 Nm of torque
• A 2.5-litre plug-in hybrid engine generating a total output of 323 hp and 500 Nm 

New colour scheme

Mazda has also expanded the CX-60 colour palette with the addition of a new Zircon Sand metallic paint option. The newly added hue is already available on other Mazda models like the CX-30 and MX-30.  

“The CX-60 offers a unique combination of value and desirable features in the premium SUV sector. Its enhanced attributes make it an attractive and compelling choice for customers seeking a high-class SUV,” says Mazda.

The 2025 Mazda CX-60 will arrive in the UK in the early summer of 2025.
