Mazda offers two RWD vehicles right now: the MX-5 Miata sports car and the BT-50 pickup truck. But any day soon, the Hiroshima-based automaker will add a third model to the lineup in the guise of the CX-60.
Back in October 2021, the Japanese automaker confirmed four brand-new additions in the guise of the CX-60 and CX-80 for Europe, as well as the CX-70 and CX-90 for North America. Slightly larger than the CX-50 for the United States and CX-5, the CX-60 is the first nameplate that utilizes the Large Architecture.
Spied undergoing final tests in Germany, the rear- and all-wheel-drive utility vehicle has been already confirmed with two-row seating for five and plug-in hybrid assistance for inline-four powerplants. Later on, Mazda will spruce up the options list with straight-six mills from the Skyactiv-X and Skyactiv-D families.
The six-cylinder lumps are confirmed with 48-volt technology, although it’s still unknown what kind of mild hybridization will be used. Known is, that Mazda will introduce an eight-speed automatic for longitudinal-engined sport utility vehicles.
