Mazda is thoroughly gone, floating! A CX-60 PHEV model, actually more expensive than the BMW X3, Mazda, what do you want to do?
At a recent media conference in Europe, Mazda showed Ta's CX-60 plug-in hybrid SUV, or mazda's taste, or mazda's style. The benchmark products are directly locked on the Mercedes-Benz GRC, BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus NX, clearly indicating their "ambitions" to enter the high-end market.
In fact, this car from the visual point of view, and the previous Mazda is not much different, on this want to compete with bmw X3, is it a fool's dream? Certainly not, because the official announcement of Ta is the first vehicle of the Mazda brand to adopt a new architecture, Ta uses a longitudinal engine layout, which can use RWD and AWD layouts, so Ta has also become Mazda's first new car equipped with an in-line six-cylinder engine. If ta is successful, then Mazda's subsequent models will also be equipped with this powertrain, especially in the Chinese market that was extremely successful Mazda 6, which will also become Mazda's first in-line six-cylinder rear-drive sedan.
In appearance, TA is still the soul of kodo concept design swift, and the fusion of dynamic and elegant makes ta still look quite smart. The body size has also been officially marked, with a length of 4745mm, a width of 1890mm, a height of 1680mm, and a wheelbase greater than 2870mm.
The interior of the car is also the great beauty and simplicity style that Mazda has always adhered to, but since it is a high-end model, it is definitely different from the ordinary version in terms of materials. You can see maple panels, Nappa leather, Japanese textile fabrics and chrome trims. Meanwhile, the stubborn Mazda adopted the entry-level high-end concept for the first time, directly raising the dashboard and multimedia system screen in the car to 12.3 inches, and supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as dual-zone automatic air conditioning control and LED headlights.
Mazda is planning to equip the CX-60 with a full engine, including an inline six-cylinder engine, with the 3.0-litre "e-Skyactiv-X" naturally aspirated petrol engine and the 3.3-litre diesel six-cylinder engine, which will be equipped with a 48v mild hybrid system. The Mazda CX-60 e-Skyactiv PHEV edition is a plug-in hybrid model that the brand will launch in Europe. The powertrain segment includes a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G gasoline engine (four-cylinder direct injection), a 100 kW electric motor and a 17.8 kWh 355 V high-capacity battery pack. The drivetrain is mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, making the Mazda CX-60 PHEV the most powerful production model in the company's history. The performance of Ta is also quite powerful, the zero hundred acceleration time only takes 5.8 seconds, the fuel consumption under the WLTP test is only 1.5 liters /100 km, and the pure electric mileage under the WLTP standard is 63 km.
Ghost Truck View: Mazda has now become a niche brand in China, but it has performed quite well in the North American market. So if ta really let high-end products into China, do you think you would consider buying one?
