Mazda CX-60

Mazda CX-60 is a mid-size crossover for people who want a more upmarket Mazda without jumping to a full luxury badge. By our assessment, it stands out for offering rear-wheel-drive-based packaging and a cabin that aims a bit higher than the usual family SUV. The trade-off is that this kind of car tends to feel bigger and more expensive to live with than the smaller Mazda crossovers, so the appeal depends on whether the extra size and polish matter. In practice it is the sort of SUV that is judged by steering feel, road comfort, and how neatly the interior is put together. Against rivals from mainstream and premium brands, it sits in the awkward middle where it has to justify itself on finish and driving manners rather than badge cachet. Mazda CX-60 is for buyers who want an SUV with a more serious, less anonymous feel, and the number 60 is simply part of its name.
