THE NEW MAZDA CX-60 – ELEGANCE THAT LEADS

by drivingMotion

3rd September 2025 – Bermaz Motor is proud to debut the First Mazda Large Product group model, the New Mazda CX-60 Crossover SUV. The crossover SUV is the first of Mazda’s Large Product group models, offering significantly enhanced driving pleasure with environmental and safety performance.

 

Mazda’s brand-new flagship SUV, ushers in a new era of sophistication, performance, and luxury in Mazda’s lineup. This mid-size SUV is designed for those who seek premium driving experience, effortlessly combining style with functionality. Conceived under the design concept of “Noble Toughness,” the CX-60 exudes strength through its beautifully dynamic styling, embodying intelligence and elegance as a further evolution of Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy.

 

Kodo, translating to “Soul of Motion” in Japanese, brings the concept of “Ma” into the CX-60’s design. “Ma” represents the calm and dignified beauty of an empty space, skillfully integrated into the SUV’s powerful architecture. The CX-60 reflects Mazda’s commitment to crafting vehicles that marry robust design with refined aesthetics, creating an unmistakable statement of Japanese craftsmanship.

 

With its exceptional exterior and interior design, the CX-60 exemplifies the finest in Japanese craftsmanship. It not only represents an evolution of the Kodo design language but also showcases innovations in human-centric technologies and world-leading powertrains. This SUV stands as a testament to the idea that it is truly ‘Crafted in Japan.’

The Mazda CX-60, with its distinctive Kodo design, embodies the philosophy of “breathing life into a car.” This approach aims to capture a sense of vitality and motion, as if the car is a living creature in motion. Its imposing front face and compact rear silhouette give the CX-60 a powerful, dynamic appearance that suggests energy and speed, even at a standstill. This careful attention to shape and form reflects Mazda’s commitment to creating vehicles that engage emotionally, making the car feel like an animated, purposeful presence on the road.

 

Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy truly shines through in the CX-60, where its body frame exudes a sense of stability and strength, much like a living organism rooted firmly in the ground. This strong body structure is crafted to evoke the imagery of a defined outline and muscular build, designed to grip the road with confidence. Every angle of the CX-60 reveals this outline appeal, embodying Mazda’s vision of the vehicle as a dynamic, organic form that conveys both elegance and power. This is the essence of Kodo: a design language that brings the car to life, imbuing it with a purposeful stance and a spirit that resonates with motion and stability.

The front grille, crafted with a new aspect ratio, showcases a taller profile that adds to the vehicle’s bold and assertive front end. The signature wing, now featuring an integrated indicator, further enhances the grille’s powerful presence, adding depth and character. A highlight of the CX-60’s design is its new headlight arrangement, a first for Mazda, with vertically stacked lamps and distinctive L-shaped signature lighting at both the front and rear. This cohesive design creates a consecutive horizontal styling effect, giving the CX-60 a lighting signature that exudes sophistication and strength, perfectly suited to its SUV segment. This thoughtful lighting layout amplifies the CX-60’s rugged character and distinguishes it within Mazda’s lineup.

The CX-60’s cabin is positioned slightly rearward on the body, giving the vehicle a dynamic, forward-moving stance that enhances its commanding presence. This sense of toughness is beautifully balanced by the elegant surface treatment: a striking streak of light that flows gracefully from the rear edge of the cabin, skimming the rear wheel arch before touching the ground. This design element creates a simple yet powerful sense of motion, embodying the bold spirit of Japanese calligraphy and modern art, where the artist’s strokes extend beyond the canvas. Mazda’s design approach with the CX-60 channels this artistic freedom, capturing a sense of energy that transcends traditional design boundaries.

 

Interior Design

The interior of the Mazda CX-60 mirrors the exterior’s emphasis on strength, capturing the SUV’s robust architecture in a refined, spacious cabin. A wide instrument panel with continuous lines flows seamlessly into the side air vents and extends into the door trim, creating an open, spacious feel. The centre console, with its bold, uninterrupted form, extends through the cabin from front to back, visually reinforcing the structural strength of the vehicle. This design detail not only adds to the CX-60’s commanding presence but also emphasizes the unique engineering of a longitudinally mounted engine, showcasing Mazda’s commitment to both functionality and elegance.

True to Mazda’s deep Japanese heritage, the CX-60’s interior is crafted to celebrate the living, organic beauty of natural materials. Mazda achieves exceptional quality by blending traditional techniques with modern technology, creating textures that are both visually striking and tactilely rich. This thoughtful combination of natural elements and advanced methods results in an interior that is not only luxurious but also rooted in Japan’s tradition of honouring the beauty and uniqueness of each material.

 

The Mazda CX-60’s driver cockpit is thoughtfully designed with three primary display systems to enhance the driving experience: a 12.3-inch multi-information display, an Active Driving Display (Heads-Up Display), and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen equipped with voice recognition. This setup ensures that critical information is readily accessible and easy to read.

 

The cockpit also integrates new driving assist modes and warning displays that work in tandem with the Driver Personalization System, a new feature introduced by Mazda in its Large Architecture Platform models. This intelligent system automatically recognizes the driver and adjusts more than 250 settings including seat position, steering wheel, mirrors and the Head Up Display to suit each individual’s physique and preferences. By storing personal profiles, it ensures that every drive begins in comfort and confidence, whether it is the daily driver or a shared vehicle within the family. Complementing this, the dynamic start up and Mi Drive mode displays enhance safety and security by providing clearer and more intuitive visibility of essential information, allowing drivers to remain focused and fully connected to the road ahead.

 

Additionally, the text display has been enlarged, and navigation data has been expanded to give drivers more detailed insights into the road ahead. The i-Activsense (ADAS) settings and operational status are presented in a way that allows for quick, at-a-glance reading, ensuring that drivers remain informed and confident behind the wheel. This comprehensive approach to the driver interface reflects Mazda’s commitment to safety and user-centric design.

 

To enhance driver convenience, the Mazda CX-60 is equipped with a comprehensive infotainment system that includes a 360˚ View Monitor with See-Through View, providing a bird’s-eye perspective of the vehicle’s surroundings for improved safety during manoeuvres. The reverse camera, featuring guidelines, aids in precise parking and obstacle detection.

For seamless smartphone integration, the CX-60 supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing drivers to easily access their apps, music, and navigation. Furthermore, the vehicle includes a Wireless Charging pad, ensuring that devices remain powered without the clutter of cords, adding an extra layer of functionality and convenience to the driving experience. Together, these features make the CX-60 a modern and user-friendly SUV that prioritizes connectivity and ease of use.

Additionally, the Mazda CX-60 includes a premium 12-speaker BOSE sound system, providing a powerful and immersive listening experience for all occupants. This combination of advanced audio engineering and high-quality components creates an engaging sound environment, making every drive more enjoyable.

 

Powertrain

The Mazda CX-60 is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers 189 hp and 261 Nm of torque, offering a balance of performance and efficiency. Underpinned by Mazda’s Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture, the CX-60 is engineered to accommodate future electrification and meet stringent environmental standards. This advanced platform supports innovative technologies that enhance driving dynamics while reinforcing Mazda’s commitment to sustainability.

 

In the Mazda CX-60, the feeling of Jinba-Ittai, “oneness between car and driver” comes to life like never before. Inspired by the natural connection between a horse and its rider, this philosophy is at the core of every detail. From the confident way it moves to how naturally it responds, the CX-60 is designed to feel like an extension of you. Mazda’s human-centric approach ensures that the car moves with you, not just for you—creating a drive that feels intuitive, balanced, and deeply personal. It’s not just about getting from one place to another; it’s about feeling truly connected every step of the way.

The CX-60 is equipped with Kinematic Posture Control (KPC), a system that optimizes suspension performance for smooth body movement and stable cornering, even at high speeds. Its rear suspension is engineered to counter lift forces, lowering the body during braking for greater stability. By managing the vehicle’s posture under high G-forces, KPC enhances handling precision, driver confidence and overall performance. Together, these technologies ensure the CX-60 delivers a dynamic yet controlled driving experience on both paved roads and rugged terrains.

 

Safety

The Mazda CX-60 proudly upholds Mazda’s commitment to safety, having achieved a prestigious 5-star rating from the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) in 2022. This recognition underscores its exceptional performance in protecting adult and child occupants, as well as vulnerable road users, while also demonstrating the effectiveness of its advanced driver assistance systems.

 

The CX-60 comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features, combining robust standard equipment with Mazda’s advanced i-Activsense safety technologies to deliver maximum protection in all driving conditions. From braking and stability systems to occupant protection and child safety provisions, every element has been engineered to support the driver while ensuring peace of mind for all passengers. This thoughtful integration of proactive and passive safety measures reflects Mazda’s human-centric philosophy, prioritizing both confidence and protection without compromise.

 

Mazda’s i-Activsense advanced safety suite brings together a wide range of technologies designed to enhance driver awareness, support safer driving and help prevent accidents. The system intelligently adapts to changing road and traffic conditions with features such as High Beam Assist (HBA), Adaptive LED Headlamps (ALH), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Lane Keep Assist System (LAS) with Road Departure Prevention (RDP), Driver Attention Alert (DAA) with Driver Monitoring, Front and Rear Smart Brake Support (SBS), Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) with Stop & Go, and Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS).
