0Mazda CX-60 Confirmed For Malaysian Launch This December 2024
Bermaz Motor will be introducing the premium Mazda CX-60 very soon
Equipped with Mazda’s Skyactiv technology, the CX-60 promises an exhilarating driving experience while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency. The front-engine, rear-wheel drive mechanical layout maximizes the driver’s potential by distributing the lateral and longitudinal workload between the two axles.
The CX-60 is powered by a new-generation 3.3-liter longitudinally-mounted engine which is available in both petrol and diesel variants. This alone reduces its appeal in Malaysia due to our road tax pricing system for high cubic capacity vehicles.
The petrol-powered turbo-charged 3.3L Inline-6 HEV e-SKYACTIV-G engine produces 284 PS and 450 Nm and delivers an impressive 0-100km/h time of just 6.9 seconds, while the diesel-powered turbo-charged 3.3L Inline-6 HEV e-SKYACTIV-D produces 254 PS and 550 Nm and accelerates in 7.3 seconds. Both offer a top speed of 219km/h.
The turning radius of this CX-60 is just 5.4 meters, smaller than other similarly-sized SUVs.
The Mazda CX-60 showcases an array of innovative technologies that enhance both safety and connectivity. The state-of-the-art infotainment system seamlessly integrates with smartphones, providing drivers and passengers with intuitive access to navigation, music, and communication features.
Advanced driver-assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking, prioritize safety and provide peace of mind for all occupants.
Step inside the Mazda CX-60, and you will be greeted by a refined interior designed to deliver ultimate comfort and convenience. The spacious cabin boasts premium materials, ergonomic seating, and ample legroom, ensuring a pleasurable experience for all passengers.
With versatile seating configurations and an ample cargo area, the CX-60 adapts effortlessly to accommodate various lifestyle needs, whether it’s a weekend adventure or a family getaway.
Meanwhile, Mazda’s ‘Kodo-Soul of Motion’ design philosophy entered phase two with the launch of the Mazda3. For the Mazda CX-60, the company took on the challenge of creating a design that would instantly reflect the enhancement and further advancement of Kodo design.
Incidentally, this Mazda was conceived under the design concept ‘Noble Toughness’, the imposing strength of the Mazda CX-60’s beautiful and dynamic styling conveys the intelligence and elegance of the latest developments in Kodo design – the Japanese concept of Ma, which is the calm and dignified beauty of empty space – woven into the toughness of the striking front-engine, rear-wheel drive SUV architecture.
The elegant, premium quality interior design further introduces the ideas of Kaichou – an element of harmony which mixes different materials and textures such as maple wood, nappa leather, uniquely worked Japanese textiles and chrome details, and Musubu – the art of binding which was the inspiration for a specially detailed instrument panel stitching.
The deeply sculpted front face and long nose/truncated rear silhouette create a powerful and dynamic framework and an imposing SUV-like presence in a form with simple beauty and elegance, as well as a roomy and richly detailed interior space.
Did you know that the Takumi and Homura model grades add extra touches of visual and tactile quality that endow the Mazda CX-60 with a tough yet dignified exterior and a spacious and luxurious interior.
