The surge in sales of new energy vehicles last year seems to have also allowed the industry to find an obvious signal, that is, electrification has been irreversible. Indeed, at the time of the transition from fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles, because of strict emission standards, small displacement engines have become more and more mainstream, and some car companies have even stopped the research and development of large-displacement engines.
However, there are also car companies that do the opposite, such as the Great Wall Motor in its own brand, which has independently developed a 3.0T V6 engine, which is also the first large-displacement engine of the Great Wall; and for example, the Qingliu Mazda in the Japanese car, in others have begun to engage in trams, it is also very interested in the six-cylinder engine, the CX60 that is about to debut in the world is the best proof.
As Mazda's new midsize SUV, the Mazda CX60 has undoubtedly attracted the attention of fans around the world, and from the naming point of view, it can also be known that its positioning is higher than that of the Mazda CX50. Although we will not be able to see the true appearance of this car in March, but at present, foreign media have exposed its road test spy photos, and we can also see the appearance of this car in advance.
As can be seen from the picture, the appearance of the Mazda CX60 is still heavily camouflaged, and the whole vehicle is relatively large. As for the design of The China Net, it has the consistent taste of Mazda, and according to Mazda's soul design language that has been praised for many years, it is certain that the appearance of the new car will certainly not disappoint.
Coming to the side, the silhouette of the new car still looks relatively smooth, the treatment of the waist line is not only full but also powerful, and the visual effect is still very recognizable.
In terms of tail, it is not clear whether the popular through-type taillight design is adopted, but the configuration of the bilateral four exhausts at the bottom can undoubtedly bring a full sports atmosphere.
In addition, the power of the Mazda CX60 is also a highlight. First of all, it will provide a fuel version and a plug-in version of the model, and the fuel version of the model will be powered by the six-cylinder engine mentioned earlier in our article and matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The large displacement engine is already exciting enough, and more importantly, it will also provide two solutions of rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with the unique advantage of rear-drive in terms of handling, this car will definitely be favored by a large number of car players.
Of course, Mazda is not "black to the end", in the face of the pressure of emission reduction, it has also begun to "electrify", after all, if it is not engaged in it, it will be abandoned by the times. Therefore, on the CX60, Mazda will first launch a plug-in hybrid model, which is a hybrid system composed of a four-cylinder 2.5L engine and an electric motor, according to relevant sources, its output power may exceed 300 horsepower.
That is to say, Mazda is also "grasping with both hands", the plug-in model is obviously to deal with electrification, and the six-cylinder engine + rear-drive configuration is to improve its playability. But as a medium-sized SUV, Mazda CX60 may not be popular in China, not to mention the comfort, cost performance, competitiveness of these details, the price alone is doomed to CX60 is a few people's toys. Coupled with this strict emission standard, whether the six-cylinder engine can be introduced is also a question worth exploring.
Editor's note
As we all know, Mazda has been in a state of "applause or not" in China, and its sales have fallen even more sharply in recent years. In the face of such a situation, Mazda's top priority is undoubtedly to quickly introduce more new cars for upgrading, that is, do not know the arrogant Mazda, the next action.
