Mazda enthusiasts in Malaysia, brace yourselves—Bermaz Motor has officially launched the all‑new 2025 Mazda CX‑60, marking the entry of Mazda’s premium "Large Product Group" SUV into the local market.

Pricing & Booking

The CX‑60 is available on‑the‑road (OTR) without insurance at RM 200,510, placing it above Mazda’s venerable CX‑5 but positioned squarely against luxury‑premium rivals like the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. Booking for the model opened in mid‑2025, with deliveries expected to begin around September.

Performance & Mechanical Setup

Under the hood lies a 2.5‑litre naturally‑aspirated Skyactiv‑G inline‑4 petrol engine, delivering 189 hp at 6,000 rpm and 261 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission, deliberately chosen to optimize throttle response and offer a more driver‑centric feel.

This is Mazda’s first local model based on its Large Product Group (Skyactiv Multi‑Solution Scalable Architecture), featuring a longitudinal layout and rear-wheel-drive (RWD) dynamics.

Dimensions & Platform Evolution

The CX‑60 is a notably larger vehicle compared to the CX‑5, offering greater cabin and load space. Its dimensions are:

• Length: 4,740 mm

• Width: 1,890 mm

• Height: 1,680 mm

• Wheelbase: 2,870 mm

• Ground clearance: approx. 175 mm, with a turning radius of about 5.4 m

These larger dimensions give the CX‑60 a more commanding presence on the road, ideal for those seeking a more spacious and premium feel.

Premium Features Inside & Out

The CX‑60 presents a high‑grade equipment list that underscores its premium ambitions:

• Exterior highlights: Adaptive LED headlights, LED DRLs, 18-inch alloy wheels, hands‑free powered tailgate, rain‑sensing wipers, and power side mirrors.

• Interior comforts: Dual 12.3‑inch displays (instrument cluster and infotainment), Bose 12‑speaker audio system, leather dashboard trims, 10‑way driver's seat with memory, wireless charging, and a frameless rearview mirror.

• Advanced suspension tuning: Double wishbones at the front and multi‑link at the rear, aided by Kinematic Posture Control for refined handling.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Mazda fitted the CX‑60 with a robust suite of safety tech:

Adaptive cruise control (with stop‑and‑go and cruising support), lane‑keeping systems, blind‑spot monitoring, front and rear cross‑traffic alerts, smart brake support, driver attention alert, traffic jam assist, and a full complement of airbags, along with stability and traction controls.

Ownership & Value Proposition

The CX‑60 comes fully imported (CBU from Mazda's Hofu plant, Japan), and is bundled with a 5‑year/100,000 km manufacturer warranty plus five years of free maintenance, including labor, parts, and lubricants.

Verdict: What Does the CX‑60 Bring to Malaysian Buyers?

The Mazda CX‑60 bridges the gap between mainstream crossovers and luxury SUVs—especially for those wanting polished design, engaging driving dynamics, and premium tech without stepping into the €50k+ zone.

• Elegant design & cabin: Understated yet compelling Kodo styling with luxury-grade materials and amenities.

• Driver-focused dynamics: RWD setup, long wheelbase, and fine-tuned suspension suggest a more involving drive than typical crossovers.

• Comprehensive package: All-around safety suites and ownership perks position it competitively in the premium crossover segment.

If you’re looking for a premium SUV experience with a balance of luxury, technology, and driving dynamics, the CX‑60 may be just what you need.

Final Thoughts

The Mazda CX‑60’s arrival in Malaysia signals a bold step up for the brand—offering refined luxury, modern safety tech, and Mazda’s signature driver focus in one package. It may not be the most powerful in its class, but it strikes a balanced mix of elegance, performance, and overall value.
