KUALA LUMPUR: Mazda Malaysia is gearing up to launch the much-anticipated CX-60 in 2024, as recently highlighted by The Edge Malaysia. The vehicle, which made its worldwide debut in March of the previous year, is now set to enter the Malaysian market.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Will the CX-60 be a replacement for the CX-5?
No it will not,it will be sold alongside the 2024 facelift CX-5 which will also be debuting this year

What category SUV is the CX-60?

It's a premium SUV and will bravely take on SUVs from manufacturers such as BMW and Mercedes
2024 Mazda CX-60

In an announcement made in August 2023, Mazda confirmed the upcoming introduction of the CX-60 in Malaysia adding weight to the claim. The new model is expected to be priced above the CX-8 and CX-9, potentially surpassing the RM300,000 mark, especially given the RM328,000 pricing of the CX-9.


The Mazda CX-60's main appeal, according to those who have sampled it, lies in its combination of luxury features, performance, and affordability compared to its premium rivals. It's also Mazda's first plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) and is positioned as a high-end model, aiming to compete with brands like BMW and Mercedes. The CX-60 features a stylish design, a spacious and high-quality interior with Japanese craftsmanship, and impressive technical capabilities.

The CX-60 is a luxury SUV that stands out with its new rear-wheel-drive platform. Its dimensions are 4,745mm (length), 1,890mm (width), and 1,670mm (height), with a 2,870mm wheelbase, making it slightly smaller than the Mazda CX-8. The SUV's minimalist design features high-end materials like Nappa leather, Maple wood accents, and Japanese fabric textures.

Key features of the CX-60 include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a full LCD instrument panel, and a dashboard design that draws inspiration from the CX-5.

The powertrain options for the CX-60 vary by market. In Singapore, it is equipped with a 2.5L Skyactiv-G engine that produces 188hp and 261Nm of torque. The version available in Indonesia comes with a 3.3L e-Skyactiv -G + 48V inline-six turbocharged engine with a mild-hybrid system, delivering 280hp and 450Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the Philippines version is powered by a 3.3L e-Skyactiv-G and a 3.3L e-Skyactiv-D inline-six turbo diesel engine, offering 250hp and 550Nm of torque.


The Mazda CX-60 in Malaysia is likely to have a range of powertrain options. It would be nice if Mazda Malaysia offers it with Mazda's first-ever plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, known as e-Skyactiv PHEV. This system combines a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor and a 17.8 kWh lithium-ion battery. Together, they produce a total system output of 327 hp and 500 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful production.

Lol don't say 300k...even if 200k Mazda who's gonna buy it? 200k baik beli Tesla or BMW 2nd hand

top up abit get............

Baik beli...

Mazda cars are Getting uglier and uglier.

Errm...I will

The only reason why CX-5 was so hot last time is value for money. MAzzie products today wanna go upmarket like Lexus. They are not going to get sales like CX-5 anymore. Because there are more competing SUV today than it was in 2012.

To be a luxury SUV, you need to remove the plastic cladding which Mazda did but it made the car even uglier IMO.

no one's gonna buy lol

Premium suv. Hahahaha

300k price. Hahahahah

Fight with Merc & BMW. Hahahaha

Hahahahahah

topkek, at above RM320k X3 and GLC is a much better buy, real true luxury SUV compared to premium wannabe luxury.

Make your move smartly not boldly, Bermaz Auto, else this is DOA

Lol I will definitely not at that price point. At 300k price point I might as well go for Lexus NX. Even with 200k also susah nak sell...

Sorry, I will pick BMW or Mercedes any time, thanks but BIG NO Matsuda, try harder next time

Cx5 main selling point is the price ratio to its build quality

This one isn’t gonna sell coz the price is ridiculous for mazda

Proof is in the pudding with the cx9

Pretentious like Honda/Toyo raising prices to show they’re in luxury level padahal om puteh put them same level as hyundai/kia. If Lexus/Acura different level but still asian underpinnings. If can’t afford Merc go Maz, senang saja, no need to cover the eyes with wool..

why it look uglier?

RIP Mazda

Honda Toyota raising prices because of raising cost and our lower RM value. Other car manufacturers also raise their prices globally.

Mazda raise price because they want to go upmarket.

Got AWD or not

The CX-8 sells reasonably well at the 200K or specifically 190-220K depending on trim

You filter for the CX-8 up to 31st August about 2K were sold

https://data.gov.my/dashboard/car-popularity

But the 8s are three row large SUVs. CX-60 iinm is a two row slightly shorter wheelbase

Like you said the 300K price point gonna kill it unless its that good looking. And on first glance the Harrier looks prettier

6 or 7 rows seater at 200k range barely acceptable but a 5 seater JAPAN/KOREA car at 200k susah la...unless they mau fight against Harrier, Camry or Accord but segment macam lain.

blah blah blah.....

yet..Top Gear term...if it doesn't have a historical pedigree ....how ever luxury it is branded...it still is a mazda.

and ppl will laugh even if you have diamond studded dashboards, and a gold gearknob...

you won't get a Saudi prince to buy it.

CX8, niche market, still cheaper than kimchi and looks better. CX60 got what advantages over Alfatt, Vell, GLE, X5? No one gonna spend 300k for jap car unless it can seat more than 5 and luxurious is in the mind of the beholder.

if you squint hard enough it looks like F Pace

Like the guy earlier said

Potential to be DOA liao

As is Harrier looks nicer with a slightly smaller wheelbase

Donid topup get Tesla

If they price like 160-180k still acceptable

CX5 already at that price range lah

Hahahaha ya lo...one can only wish and hope

can look at CX9

Chairman also pijak 🤣

Susah x pijak...300k for Japan car mana bulih

Mazda is good but not "300k" good.

We go test drive and molest. Then diam diam back to our zoom zoom.

can only dream of a RX-9

nice joke

Ya confirm need go molest and test drive...see what makes it so great that Mazda wants to sell for 300k

sooooo cheap!!!! need to buy at least 1 dozen.

When it reach pucheong showroom, I jio u cum.

If 5 seater might as well choose x3 for that pricing 300 plus including free service

If 7 seater suv got so many options n cheaper to choose
Toyota Fortuner
Chery Tiggo

Even cheaper lousier option would be proton x90

so how is this more affordable then rivals and how is the performance outperform the premium rivals?
it is still using a 2.5l NA as the powerplant , how does it outperform the rivals who are using turbo?

If I have 300k to dispose, I think I'll most probably thinking of Conti car d.
Unless u really hardcore fan

300-400k suv got any suv with full features like x50?

Glc and x3 dont have adaptive cruise control self driving

down abit get tesla

This post has been edited by thesoothsayer: Jan 10 2024, 12:13 PM

err no
starts from 180-190k for 2.5na version

Different ma, 6-7 seaters. Unless you say CX-90 selling over 200k then okay la.

And no, CX-8 starts below 200k

To me its ok you want to go upmarket but the specs doesn't show that you have gone upmarket.

can say the same for BMWs look the same across different series

Lol PREMIUM

Matsuda is overated for jepunis fanbois

Oops never mind. At first he said getting CX-9 but just saw it's a CX-8.

still trying to beat german brands when Tesla is already killing them lol

merc premium ka? my bro in law had 2014 merc e200 last time and the interior and comfort is honestly worse than 2010 camry that he also had at that time. The e200 even had fallen roof lining and broken cracking speakers lol

apa lanjiao premium

delulu land

Mazda now is boring unlike Mazda in 80s and 90s
Mazda Lantis hhhnnnggg

Orang bodo with B40 mentality. It Proton sell at 400k Rip Merc and BMW too?
B40 should stay in PPRT and don't go out.

Matsuda Bermaz seeing public criticise on the price and they are wet now

People that have money to buy german marque but dowan to masuk workshop every month will buy

So damn ugly and overpriced

Lol no they wont buy Mazda. They confirm buy Lexus. Lexus is just the best of both worlds. Once u drive a Lexus, u will never want a Mazda. The refinement of Lexus is just next level.

exactly. no reason to pick this over GLC zzz

for big SUV, cx-50 just nice. cx-60 and above, ugly sia...

Cx 50 is aloooot nicer, well proportioned and has that rugged look

Kenapa tak bawak cx50 masuk woiii

BMW ?

Mazda and it's markup price.

Tak tau tempat ker?

You're not on par with German name la...

Konon Masili & Beemer...

Matsuda siapa advisor kamu? Dia mimpi ker minum ketum when giving idea or brain storming?

It’s giving boomer vibe but ok for someone that reach middle age already

CX50 only for US market. CX60 was the equivalent for EU and Asia. Very stupid naming convention.

mention BMW or Merc, chicks wet already.
No need chase chicks like Ukeke, chicks will come to you.

chick: what car you drive?
me: Matsuda cx....
chick: yerrrrr...

CCP also got CX-50.

Legend goes from this



To this

PHEV good luck few years down the road guise. Not to mention RV straight tank like crazy, you can see BMW 740Le and X5 45e selling so cheap nowadays.

Shame

Would have been nice to have that model here

If inline 6 appear, conti got something to really worry

Malaysians are brand snobs. 4 cylinder vs. 6 cylinder most people won't notice

bcuz LHD

our market cipet they aint gonna spend $$$ to R&D RHD version for us
unless Japan market wants it

Top up sikit can get Lexus NX lo

Gen X would top up a bit for Lexus, mazda fan are mostly millennials. Different aesthetics.

Bro, I thought u bought a Mazda cx5? Why change of heart? Or just been pragmatic?
Btw can share your experience with your cx5 to date? Any issue? Gear oil “self” change outside?

CX5 price to quality and experience is good. But this CX50 mau jual over 200k susah nak accept la.

CX5 experience so far so good.. Almost 6 years and 100k km mileage. Not much major problems but I changed arm bush and engine mounting once and side mirrors 3 times cilaka low quality spare part. But all under warranty.

Gear oil go outside change la every 30k to 40k mileage.

I'm a big mazda fan but that looks really ugly

I think you have typo, this is CX60 kan? CX50 only exclusive in US.

Different target market. CX60 sells well, in fact record high at US & Canada. But i dont think it will sell in Asean.

Hearsay there is new model CX5 in making because it is the most popular line up in Mazda, they couldnt just terminate it like CX8.

It would be GLC, X3, NX, CX60 in comparison in the future.

Automotive market in China very aggressive. You can't catch up with the pie if you didnt launch new tech, new design in one or two year. This CX5 has been selling for more than 6years already.

MAzda already linkup in CCP, soon will linkup in malusial as well.

Why got so many models? Are Mazda trying to fill that 1 nanometer gap between different segments?

Cx5 cx50 cx60 cx70 cx8 cx9 all sold and produced currently at the same time....

CX8 and CX9 discontinued already

CX5 global car has new model design in-making, estimate launching 2025, 2026

CX50 exclusive at US only

CX60 and CX90 you mean, CX60 are mid-size SUV, CX90 are full sized SUV

The actual blur are CX70 and CX80 they are going to launch, which current dont have much information

Actually it is because 6 cylinder mostly come with 3000-3500cc. Quite high roadtax for WM. Imagine roadtax like EM, RM1600.

Ini betul2 jual mahal

Those couldn't afford BMW or Mercedes substitute with Mazda.

Harrier recon cheaper by half! Thinking of one for the wife, more sedate driving. She wun be caught dead in a mazda as most tai-tais.

Just buy a Mazda.

Some say it can easily beat BMW and Merc.

why the front so long and flat macam boot

300k? sure u can test lah

Who will buy that...

Mercedes maybe can go fuck off. Since Mercedes is going in hard for EV to please the gay ass morons. BMW still make cars with V8.
