Mazda CX-60 Azami D50e – driven for 2026.

CX-60 Azami – Mazda has recently introduced a new range of models, the CX series. Last week I drove the CX-60 Azami. This is the top model in the range.   The latest CX-60 has had some improvements, especially to the suspension tuning recently. This has resulted in the vehicle going from ho-hum to wow this is actually really good.

The CX-60 comes in a choice of three engines. A plug in Hybrid and inline 6 cylinder petrol and my favourite an inline six cylinder turbo diesel.

This provides some 187 kW of power and 550 Nm of torque driving all four wheels on demand through an eight speed sports automatic transmission.

I like the driving characteristics of this engine and its balance between performance and economy is excellent. I wish Mazda would put this engine in the BT-50 as an option.

The CX-60 has clean, conservative styling. With a high roofed rear end, it also allows practical internal boot space  and a high opening hands free tailgate.

Inside the Azami has all the luxuries you would expect as well as a premium ambience.

Front seats are especially comfortable  with heating and ventilation, electronic adjustment  and additional lumbar support for my aging back.

Overall, the revamped CX-60 is a genuine contender for buyers in the mid-sized premium SUV segment.

Pricing for the CX-60 Azami starts from $68,440 plus the usual costs. Given the premium competition that’s well priced.
