Mazda will launch a new mid-size SUV model in the world on March 9, positioned above the CX-50, and will provide a fuel version and plug-in hybrid version, this car has attracted the attention of fans around the world, for the Japanese car company that has always been very "shaft", it is not easy to compromise on electrification. Recently, some overseas media exposed the CX-60 spy photos in the German road test, and looked at the appearance of this car in advance.
Through heavy camouflage, it can be seen that the CX-60 will maintain the family design of Mazda, the silhouette is somewhat similar to the CX-50, it does not use the floating roof design as is popular nowadays, and the waist line is handled with a sense of fullness and strength at the same time. A few years ago, the new Mazda 6 was released, and Mazda's designers shared the proportions they needed to follow for a good-looking car, one of which was to keep the long front overhang, and on this CX-60, you can see that they still want and do this, which is Mazda, never compromising on what they think is right for "more space in the market".
As for the front face and headlights, it looks like Mazda's consistent taste, but in detail, how this car will interpret the soul movement design language, we still have to wait until March 9 to see its true appearance, so many years of soul movement has not disappointed, this time is also worth looking forward to. In addition, will this new car, which was born in 2022, apply more electronic and intelligent functions? It's also something we're curious about.
In the power part, in the face of the pressure of globalization to reduce emissions, Mazda also had to compromise. It is reported that the CX-60 will initially launch a plug-in hybrid system equipped with a four-cylinder 2.5L engine and an electric motor, with a combined output power or more than 300 horsepower, followed by a series of longitudinal in-line four- and six-cylinder engines, including gasoline and diesel engines, and the light hybrid version is also planned. It is worth mentioning that the fuel version of the model, equipped with a six-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, will provide two solutions: rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
The editor said: Even in order to meet the strict carbon emission regulations, Mazda had to compromise to choose an electrified power solution, but from the design, power setting and drive method, Mazda still maintains its own understanding of building cars that are full of driving pleasure, and implements it into mass production cars. It has changed, but it has not changed, and it is the new balance that Mazda has found between reality and ideals.
