Verdict
At RM200,510, the Mazda CX-60 is only RM2,510 dearer than the RM198,000 Toyota Urban Cruiser, yet it is a much larger 4,740-mm compact executive SUV with a 570-litre boot. The Urban Cruiser counters with electric running, a 61.1-kWh battery, 426 km range and a quicker 8.7-second 0-100 km/h time. For a Malaysian buyer needing luggage capacity, rear-drive hardware and richer cabin kit, the Mazda is the stronger buy; the Toyota suits shorter-range EV ownership and saves RM710 a year in road tax.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you need the 570-litre boot, 2,870-mm wheelbase, 200-km/h top speed and dual-zone climate control.
Pick the Toyota Urban Cruiser if you want a 61.1-kWh EV with 426 km range, 8.7-second 0-100 km/h acceleration and RM120 annual road tax.
