rmc523 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) https://www.autoblog.com/2022/03/08/2022-mazda-cx-60-reveal-phev-rear-drive-platform/ Quote The Mazda CX-60 is here, and while it looks like a typical Mazda SUV, it's much more than that. It's the first model to feature Mazda's long-awaited rear-drive platform. It also is Mazda's first plug-in hybrid model to go on sale, and it will eventually get Mazda's inline-six engines. There's only one powertrain available at launch in the CX-60, and it's the plug-in hybrid. It combines the familiar Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder found in the CX-5, CX-50, CX-30, 6 and 3, but it's paired with a 134-horsepower electric motor. Total output is 323 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Mazda ever. It's apparently able to go from 0 to 62 mph in 5.8 seconds. The engine is mounted longitudinally, with the electric motor and a multi-plate clutch connecting it to the new eight-speed automatic transmission. While the CX-60's platform is rear-drive-based, the plug-in hybrid model is all-wheel-drive-only, with the front wheels engaged via a multi-plate clutch. There are multiple drive modes including Normal, Sport, Off-Road, Towing, and, for the PHEV version, an EV mode. Towing capacity is also just over 5,500 pounds. I don't love the design.....it looks nice, but would've rather seen them push the envelope a bit more.

tbone Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 This would be a miss for me. I’ve liked their recent designs, but this isn’t cutting it. I think it is the creases/shaping in the side and the front end is ehh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saleen182 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 The front doesn't mesh well with the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 This is not for US market. We are getting the CX-50 instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our version of this is the CX-70, which will have more "aggressive" off-road type styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the article: Quote The CX-60 goes on sale in Europe this year. It won't come to the U.S., though, but we will get two SUVs built on the same platform: the two-row CX-70 and the three-row CX-90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT69 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I hope for Mazda they improved their quality. My last Mazda 3 was an absolute mess in terms of reliability. It was more in the workshop than on the the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Mazda said before CX-70 is midsize which means will be bigger than CX-60. Basically, CX-50 and CX-60 are the replacement for CX-5 in North America and rest of the world, respectively. Except Mazda is keeping CX-5 in production because it is projecting that demand for CX-50 will exceed its ability to build them so CX-5 is sticking around for now. CX-50 replaces CX-5 in North America (eventually) CX-60 replaces CX-5 in rest of the world (roughly the same size as BMW X3) CX-70 new model (roughly the same size as BMW X5) CX-80 will be 3-row version of CX-60, replaces CX-8 (3-row version of CX-5) in rest of the world CX-90 will be 3-row version of CX-70, replaces CX-9 in North America North America line up: CX-30, CX-50, CX-70, CX-90 Rest of the world line up: CX-30, CX-60, CX-80 Edited March 14, 2022 by bzcat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) CX-60 is kinda like if Ford developed a LWB RWD Escape, the big danger is that it straddles two segments but pleases neither exactly because the increased length and too narrow width puts it into a tweener that occupies no man’s land.

Yes-if it has anything in common with the Escape that's not a good thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you completely missed the point, this is all about Mazda not understanding their buyers needs, the need for the new I-6 has evaporated so their RWD plans are pretty much in disarray Edited March 31, 2022 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But mine is to share anything a struggling model is not good. The Hybrid version is going to save the Escape-especially with the current prices on fuel being what it is.

Dealers have virtually no Escape stock so yeah, most Escapes will be customer orders being fulfilled from months ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cruised past "auto dealer row" today near my home town. No new models of Toyota, Hyundai, or Chevrolet. As a matter of fact-it seems to be worst than several months ago. Can't speak to Ford as a dealership wasn't located on this particular street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at National dealer inventory, it’s looks very skinny for a lot of brands, a lot of stock coming in is probably customer orders, so not much /nothing for walk in buyers….has been that way for months/ last year Edited April 3, 2022 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
