What is the design concept and positioning of the Mazda CX-60?

The Mazda CX-60 is Mazda's first foray into the luxury car market, utilizing a newly designed FR (front-engine, rear-wheel drive) modular platform. It is positioned as a 5-seat flagship SUV. It is the first model in the CX series to use the "Large Product Group" longitudinal engine rear-wheel drive platform, paving the way for the more upmarket Mazda CX-90.

What is the "KPC" body posture control system in the Mazda CX-60?

The Mazda CX-60 is equipped with KPC (Kinetic Posture Control). When cornering, this system automatically applies a small amount of braking force to the inside rear wheel. This effectively suppresses the potential body roll of this large SUV, resulting in a flatter and more comfortable cornering posture for the Mazda CX-60.

What is the purpose of the facial recognition system in the Mazda CX-60?

The Mazda CX-60 features an innovative facial recognition system that can store settings for up to 6 different drivers. As soon as you get in, the Mazda CX-60 recognizes you and automatically adjusts the steering wheel, mirrors, seats, and even your preferred driving mode. It's a very technological and convenient experience.

What is the "unique" design of the Mazda CX-60's centre screen?

To help the driver focus on the road, the Mazda CX-60's 12.3-inch central display cannot be operated by touch while the vehicle is in motion. You must use the rotary controller behind the gear lever. Although new owners might need some time to get used to it, it effectively reduces fingerprints and distractions while driving.

What is special about the engine layout of the Mazda CX-60?

Whether it's the entry-level 2.5-litre or the top-of-the-line 3.3-litre engine, the Mazda CX-60's engine is mounted longitudinally (front-to-back) under the hood. This design is primarily to complement its FR rear-wheel drive platform, achieving a more perfect front-to-rear weight distribution for the Mazda CX-60. It's a configuration typically found in luxury and performance cars.

Is the Mazda CX-60 comfortable to drive on highways?

Thanks to its FR rear-wheel drive platform, the Mazda CX-60 inherently has better front-rear balance than front-wheel drive cars, providing excellent stability on the highway. Furthermore, its 3.3-litre inline-6 turbo engine revs very low during high-speed cruising, and with excellent sound insulation, the journey is quiet and composed.

What driving modes are available in the Mazda CX-60?

The Mazda CX-60 offers multiple driving modes, including Normal, Sport, Off-road, and Towing. For daily commuting and highway driving, "Normal" mode is more than sufficient. If you want a sportier and more responsive drive, you can switch to "Sport" mode, which sharpens the Mazda CX-60's reactions.

Are the standard equipment levels of the Mazda CX-60 comprehensive?

Very comprehensive. For example, the Mazda CX-60 2.5 AWD version comes standard with factory leather seats, a Bose premium sound system, a panoramic glass sunroof, a 360-degree camera, a power tailgate, and 20-inch large alloy wheels – a very generous equipment list.

How is the fuel consumption of the Mazda CX-60?

For a large SUV weighing around 2 tonnes, the Mazda CX-60's fuel consumption is quite reasonable. The official fuel consumption for the 2.5-litre four-cylinder version is 12.7 km/L. The top-of-the-line 3.3-litre inline-6 turbo version, thanks to its 48V mild-hybrid system, performs even better, achieving 13.2 km/L.

How does the 48V mild-hybrid system in the Mazda CX-60 operate?

The Mazda CX-60's 48V mild-hybrid system consists of a 48V motor and a small lithium-ion battery, mounted between the engine and transmission. It provides electric assistance during start-off and acceleration (an additional 17 hp and 153 Nm of torque), while recovering energy during deceleration to charge the battery, helping to reduce fuel consumption.
