Mazda CX-60 – Comfort and class epitomised

For over 100 years, Mazda has worked to find the perfect balance between beauty, performance, and comfort in its vehicles.

This meticulous focus on perfection has culminated in the Mazda CX-60.

Inside and out, the Mazda CX-60 features the finest Japanese craftsmanship, the latest innovations in human-centric technologies, and world-leading powertrains – all of which ensure you get the perfect driving experience.

South Africans can now find this out for themselves, by booking a test drive today.

Exceptional driving experience

The human-centric approach ingrained in the Mazda CX-60 begins with the Japanese philosophy of Jinba Ittai, which means “oneness between horse and rider.”

The Jinbai Ittai design ensures that your Mazda is not like any driving experience you’ve ever had, but rather, the CX-60 feels like a natural extension of your being.

This principle has been applied throughout the production chain of the CX-60 to ensure that every aspect of the vehicle – from the precise seating position and placement of the pedals to the responsiveness of the engine – is designed to give you the ultimate driving experience.

Key to this experience is MI (Mazda Intelligent) Drive, which ensures you get optimal grip, performance, and road stability under any conditions.

It controls the i-ACTIV AWD system and Dynamic Stability Control to optimise your CX-60 for any conditions, offering Normal, Sports, Towing and Off-Road modes for the AWD Individual model to give you the best control over your Mazda.

The human-centric driving experience also includes MRCC (Mazda Radar Cruise Control), which relieves the burden of driving on long trips by automatically adjusting and maintaining a safe following distance from the car in front of you.

Human-centric features

Mazda CX-60 AWD Individual drivers will also appreciate the 360-degree View Monitor with See Through View that provides you with full visibility of the outside of your vehicle to give you greater confidence when parking.

When you’re on the go, this system provides you with Blind Spot Monitoring to make it easier to change lanes on large, multi-lane freeways.

Equally important when on busy, high-speed roads is driver comfort – and Mazda has therefore combined lush seat materials with spinal support that minimises body sway around corners.

This design concept has been applied to every seat and can even help reduce car sickness on long trips.

Your comfort is further optimised through Mazda’s Driver Personalisation System in the CX-60 AWD Individual model, which lets you set specific profiles for different drivers.

The CX-60 AWD Individual uses face recognition to automatically recognise the driver and adjust a wide range of features to their individual preferences each time they sit in the car.

Mazda’s Driver Personalisation System can control your seat position, steering wheel, mirrors, and even the sound and climate settings of your CX-60.

Both CX-60 models also include Mazda Connect, too, which controls the CX-60’s powerful sound system.

Impressively, when it comes to the Mazda CX-60 AWD Individual, you get an outstanding 12-speaker BOSE sound system for an incredibly immersive listening experience.

The Jinba Ittai philosophy even comes through in the simplest of details. For example, Mazda has included a Hands-free Power Liftgate on the Individual model to make your life easier even when you’re not driving your CX-60.

You also get an expansive panoramic roof that allows natural light to flood the elegant and luxurious interior.

Kodo Design

Mazda’s dedication to its drivers is also evident in its Kodo design philosophy.

Kodo is an expression of redefined elegance that is rooted in Japanese aesthetics, and marries the traditional and classy with the innovative and exciting.

“We don’t just engineer to a spec; we engineer to a feeling”, said Mazda’s Chief Engineer Mitsui Hitomi.

This is Mazda’s way of breathing soul and personality into every design element of each of its vehicles – and the CX-60’s beautiful styling is a great example of this.

Test drive a Mazda CX-60

The Mazda CX-60 is powered by a 2.5-litre engine that delivers 141kW of power and 261Nm of torque, controlled by an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

It is available in two variants:

  • Mazda CX-60 2.5L Dynamic – R739,800
  • Mazda CX-60 2.5L AWD Individual – R844,500

This price includes a 5-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and service plan, meaning no matter how far you drive, Mazda has got you covered.

This is the largest warranty and service plan that Mazda offers, and this is proof that the brand really believes in these vehicles.

In fact, it is so confident that it also includes 3 years of roadside assistance to give you peace of mind on any trip.
