Overview

The Mazda CX-60 is a five-seat compact executive SUV for buyers who want a Mazda with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive petrol power. Launched in Malaysia in 2025, it starts from RM200,510 for the 2.5G 2WD High, while the six-cylinder mild-hybrid model heads the range.

CX-60 in 2026 — what's new

In 2026, the CX-60 range gains the 3.3G M AWD High Plus, launched in June alongside the existing 2.5-litre model. The newcomer uses a turbocharged 3.3-litre inline-six petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance, all-wheel drive and 296 hp. The 2.5G 2WD High continues with a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol engine, eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. Both are five-seat SUVs; the 3.3G is CBU from Japan.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the 2.5G 2WD High at RM200,510. Its 2,488 cc petrol engine makes 189 hp and drives the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox. Pay RM252,872 for the 3.3G M AWD High Plus if the case for the car is the 296-hp 3,283 cc mild-hybrid inline-six and all-wheel drive. That RM52,362 jump is substantial, so it needs a clear performance or traction requirement.

Verdict

The CX-60 gives Mazda a compact executive SUV with two distinctly different mechanical routes: a 189-hp rear-wheel-drive four-cylinder or a 296-hp all-wheel-drive mild-hybrid inline-six. The entry model costs more than the RM198,000 Tesla Model Y and RM182,800 Zeekr 7X, while the 3.3G also exceeds the RM248,888 Volvo EC40. Choose it for its petrol Mazda layout, not on price alone.
