Curtain up for the Mazda CX-60 Plug-in Hybrid

Mazda is pushing ahead with the electrification of its model range and expanding its crossover lineup: with the Mazda CX-60, the Japanese automaker is launching its first model with plug-in hybrid drive. The new top-of-the-line crossover model is based on a completely new platform and is offered in four equipment lines. The new Mazda CX-60 e-Skyactiv PHEV is the most powerful road-going vehicle Mazda has ever built. The plug-in hybrid drive system consisting of a 2.5-liter Skyactiv G inline-four gasoline engine with 141 kW/191 hp and a 100 kW/136 hp electric motor develops a system output of 241 kW/327 hp and a lush maximum system torque of 500 Nm. The 355-volt battery has a capacity of 17.8 kWh, enables a purely electric range of 63 kilometers (according to WLTP) and contributes to the safe and confident driving characteristics thanks to its deep placement in the vehicle structure. Top speed in all-electric drive mode is an impressive 140 km/h. At an 11 kW AC wallbox, the battery can be charged via the two-phase on-board AC charger with a maximum charging power of 7.2 kW. Fuel consumption is 1.5 liters per 100 kilometers on the combined WLTP cycle, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 33 g/km. The Mazda CX-60's status as the new top model in the crossover portfolio is underlined by the powerful and elegant Kodo design in its latest evolution. Inside, a variety of materials and finishes, including maple wood, Nappa leather, Japanese textiles, chrome accents and particularly detailed stitching on the instrument panel, combine to create a unique, Japanese-influenced ambience.
