2022 Mazda CX-60

The Mazda CX-60 is getting a small interior and comfort refresh for 2025

Oh, and more generous use of fancy material inside too

The Mazda CX-60 is getting a few changes for 2025, including upgrades to the suspension across all trim levels and a light interior mop-up to the mid-range ‘Homura’.

That refresh includes black Nappa leather seats, a revised dashboard, fancier lining on the roof and pillars and increased use of metal finishes throughout. The idea is to bring it closer to the equivalent trim level for its CX-80 bigger brother.

Mechanically, the suspension setup has been adjusted too, now sporting slightly softer rear springs with slightly firmer shock absorbers and a recalibration to the stability settings.

The trio of powertrains will remain unchanged, and includes the 3.3-litre mild hybrid, 3.0-litre petrol and 2.5-litre plug-in hybrid - the latter throwing out 323bhp, 369lb ft of torque and a 0-62mph time of 5.8s. OK so it’s not quite a race-spec RX-7, but it should be enough for weekly Aldi runs.

 
Mazda CX-60 Updated for 2025

The Mazda CX-60 updates are primarily focused around the ride quality, handling and refinement. Here’s pricing and details.

The Mazda CX-60 is the Japanese brand’s foray into the premium segment. There are three derivatives on offer, starting off with the Dynamic which is powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. There’s 141 kW and 265 Nm driving the rear wheels. The Individual offers additional content plus the same engine paired to an all-wheel-drive setup.

The flagship Takumi offers an incredible engine. Its a 3.3-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel with mild-hybrid technology. It too is all-wheel drive and thanks to 187 kW and 550 Nm, it pretty brisk with Mazda claiming a 0-100 kph time of 7.3 seconds. We managed 7.41 – yes, it is that brisk!

But, if there was one dynamic element holding the CX-60 back, it was the ride quality, handling and refinement, something which Mazda Southern Africa has addressed. The Mazda CX-60 updates stem from global driver feedback and aim to make the car more comfortable and refined.

On the suspension side of things, the springs are softened and there’s increased damping force. The front knuckle on the steering setup has been adjusted which Mazda reckons gives the car ‘greater precision and confidence.’

The all-wheel drive calibration has been revised with the software ensuring smoother power delivery and optimised traction. Finally, the gearbox noise has been reduced for a quieter drive. Visually, Mazda SA has added a new colour, called Zircon Sand to the palette.
