On March 9, Mazda's new SUV model, the Mazda CX-60, was officially unveiled for the world premiere. The new car is based on a new platform and is the brand's first model to be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system. It is reported that the new car will then be sold in the Japanese and European markets, but there is no news on whether it will be introduced domestically. The price of the new car has been announced, and three models will be launched, with overseas prices of 364,000 to 398,000 yuan.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a new family design language, although the polygonal grille is still decorated with chrome trim strips around it, but the size of the grille is significantly increased, and the interior also adopts a dot matrix mid-mesh composed of a large number of vertical glossy black trims, and the overall effect is more domineering. In addition, the new car has designed a transverse LED strip on both sides of the grille near the headlights, and the headlights have adopted a smaller size shape, which is very special.
The side shape of the new car is very heavy, and the longer front end and the longer distance between the wheels and the firewall also give it the feeling of a longitudinal rear-drive model. In addition, the new car also continues the traditional minimalist style of Mazda models, without a tough waistline design, relying on changes in light and shadow to create a sense of design. At the rear of the car, the taillights of the new car are flat and sharp, and the light group has also been redesigned, and the overall effect is more stylish.
In terms of interior, the new car is equipped with a full LCD instrument and a suspension central control screen, and the overall layout is more traditional and very simple. At the same time, the new car uses Nappa leather and maple components, and the design elements of Japan's unique textile binding method have significantly improved the sense of luxury in the car, which is also very in line with the upward positioning of the Mazda brand.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor, with a combined maximum power of 332 horsepower and a pure electric cruising range of 63 kilometers. In addition, the new car is also equipped with a traditional 8-speed automatic transmission, which is expected to have a prominent performance in fuel economy.
