Verdict
The CX-60 costs RM200,510, while the CX-80 is RM296,610: a RM96,100 jump that chiefly pays for a six-seat, three-row cabin and plug-in-hybrid hardware. The CX-80’s 17.8-kWh battery delivers a stated 65 km EV range, plus all-wheel drive, yet it is 255 mm longer and 662 kg heavier. Its 258-litre boot is also dramatically smaller than the CX-60’s 570 litres. For five people and luggage, the CX-60 is the more rational Malaysian buy; choose the CX-80 only if six seats and charging access are central to how you travel.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you need five seats, a far larger 570-litre boot and a lighter 1,680 kg SUV.
Pick the Mazda CX-80 if you need six seats, all-wheel drive and up to 65 km of stated electric range from its plug-in-hybrid system.
