2025 MAZDA CX-60 UPDATE DRIVING REVIEW: 6-CYL VS 4-CYL

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mazda CX-60 receives a significant update, primarily focusing on addressing previous criticisms regarding its driving dynamics and comfort. The reviewer highlights substantial improvements to the suspension, with reworked front double wishbones and servo steering for enhanced precision, and a multi-link rear setup featuring softer springs and more travel balanced by stiffer dampers. This combination aims to deliver a sportier feel without sacrificing comfort, a goal the reviewer finds largely achieved, particularly noting a more planted and less 'lifting' sensation over bumps, especially in the plug-in hybrid variant. The inline-six diesel is praised for its surprising acceleration when pushed, while the PHEV offers a calmer electric drive. Interior quality is noted as high, with a user-friendly manual interface, though seat comfort for very tall drivers and the packaging for rear legroom are minor drawbacks. The reviewer recommends the 3.3L diesel, particularly the RWD version, and suggests opting for lower trims with fabric seats for better value and comfort.
