Aside from a new colour, no changes have been made to the CX-60's exterior or interior.
On-sale just over two years, Mazda has made a series of changes to the CX-60, mostly on the dynamic side without having altered its appearance or powertrain options.
All about dynamics
A line-up still comprising three variants, the various changes involve revised steering, better sound insulation in the drivetrain area and revisions to the suspension as well as the software on all-wheel drive models.

Takumi

Still petrol or diesel
Up front, the normally aspirated 2.5-litre SkyActiv-G petrol engine provides propulsion for the Dynamic and Individual with outputs of 141kW/261Nm.
While Mazda’s first-ever eight-speed automatic remains the sole transmission option, in the Individual, the amount of twist goes to all four wheels versus the Dynamic’s rear.
Finally, the Takumi, which differentiates itself from the Individual by its colour coded wheel arch cladding and lower bumpers, plus a blacked-out B-pillar, makes do with the mild-hybrid 3.3-litre SkyActiv-D straight-six turbodiesel rated at 187kW/550Nm.
As with the Individual, an eight-speed automatic sends the engine’s grunt to all four corners.
Colours and price
On the colour front, Zircon Sand Metallic debuts as a new option in addition to the carryover eight other hues; Sonic Silver, Jet Black, Arctic White, Platinum Quartz, Machine Grey, Soul Red Crystal, Deep Crystal Blue and Rhodium White Metallic.
In terms of pricing, the revisions haven’t resulted in any increases, with the same applying to the five-year unlimited kilometre warranty and service plan.
