Mazda CX-60 Evolve PHEV – One of the vehicles to come out of Mazda’s continual evolution is the CX-60-. First launched in 2023 it recently had some upgrades.
I drove the entry level Evolve PHEV a few weeks ago. It comes with a 4-cylinder 2.5 litre turbo petrol PHEV. This provides a combined 241 kW of power and w500 Nm of torque.
The cx-60 is all-wheel drive and comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It has a towing capacity of 2500kg.
The CX-60 comes well equipped for a base model. But it does cost some $73,600 plus the usual costs, so you would expect that.
Its especially comfortable inside and the PHEV engine is smooth enough. Recent suspension updates have improved the ride a touch.
Economy is OK and you can expect about 60 km in real life from the EV only driving.
The CX-60 PHEV is stylish and smooth It’s a mid-sized SUV and being a PHEV offers the best of both worlds. Daily EV driving along with the convenience of a petrol engine for longer trips.
Its expensive though and there is some reluctance by buyers to embrace the PHEV concept as well as more upmarket Mazda. Despite all that it’s a good car and wroth s drive.
