Mazda will introduce its first electrified model next March, the CX-60. The medium SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) carries plug-in hybrid technology which will also be embedded in the Mazda CX-80 with the support of a rotary gasoline engine as a generator.
Mazda has not officially released the engine specifications that will be used in the CX-60 but reportedly it uses a 2.5 liter engine with the support of an electric motor that produces a combined power of more than 291 hp. The hybrid technology embedded in the CX-60 borrows the latest Toyota Yaris hybrid system which will only be marketed in the near future.
The presence of the Mazda CX-60 and CX-80 is a form of the manufacturer's commitment in realizing a sustainable vehicle with a multi-solution approach. Mazda also claims that this latest technology still offers smooth acceleration, fuel efficiency and a more dynamic driving. It is hoped that this SUV can meet the needs of consumers in the future.
Meanwhile, Mazda is also preparing the CX-80 PHEV to fill the 7-seater SUV segment and the Mazda MX-30 EV version. The presence of these three electrification models is focused on being sold in potential countries such as America, Canada and Europe.
Mazda CX-60 itself is built on the CX-5 platform with the support of a newer and more environmentally friendly engine. While the official price will be around £35,000 or equivalent to Rp. 680 million and will be distributed this year.
In addition to the new electrified models, Mazda also remains committed to presenting other new vehicles such as the CX-30, CX,70 and CX-90 with a larger size. While in the American market, Mazda is also preparing to market the CX-50 crossover with the support of a powerful and efficient engine as a replacement for the Mazda CX-3.
The presence of the CX-60 and CX-80, both will be the manufacturer's flagship SUV to replace the Mazda CX-5. Mazda CX-5 itself is an SUV configured for five passengers with the support of a 2.5L engine with Skyactiv technology. In addition, the design language of KODO: Soul of Motion has also become one of the plus points offered by Mazda vehicles in the last decade.
Mazda also maintains support for safety features such as i-Activesense which consists of various menus ranging from Lane Keeping Assist, Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring, Smart City Brake System and other devices. In the new model, other features will also be enhanced, such as a 360 camera with sensors, as well as entertainment services with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
