The CX-60 Azami is the flagship model in Mazda’s medium-to-large-sized five-seater SUV.
For the model-year 2025 update, the whole range adopted a raft of upgrades designed to smooth out the auto calibration, suspension harshness and more.
This is a premium-priced Japanese SUV contender, with the Azami pitched from $68,440 before on-road costs in petrol guise, $70,440 as a diesel and a whopping $81,490 if we’re talking about the PHEV.
The G40e refers to a 3.3-litre in-line six-cylinder (I6) turbocharged petrol engine, producing 209kW of power and 450Nm of torque. On the combined cycle, it averages 7.4L/100km for 174g/km of carbon-dioxide emissions. The D50e is the 3.3L I6 turbo-diesel powered alternative, delivering 187kW and 550Nm, while also returning 5.0L/100km on average for 132g/km.
Then there is the P50e – the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), featuring a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, aligned with a 129kW electric motor and a 17.8kWh Lithium ion battery, for 241kW and 500Nm combined outputs. It sips just 2.1L/100km, boasts a CO2 figure of only 49g/km, and can average 2380km on a single tank of petrol, or 76km of EV-only range.
Driving all four wheels in each of these is an eight-speed, wet-plate-clutch automatic transmission.
Befitting the Azami’s positioning, it includes Nappa leather, glitzier finishes, vented front seats, adaptive LED headlights, a Bose 12-speaker audio upgrade, a powered/heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, hands-free tailgate operation, heated rear seats, glossier trim, 20-inch alloys, a surround-view camera, front/rear parking sensors, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a wireless charger, dual-zone climate control, head-up display, satellite navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio, tyre-pressure monitors, traffic sign recognition tech and folding/heated exterior mirrors.
Achieving a five-star ANCAP crash-test rating, the Azami comes with eight airbags, adaptive cruise control, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), blind-spot monitoring, vehicle exit warning, lane-departure, lane-assist and lane-keep tech, front cross-traffic alert, forward obstruction warning, rear cross-traffic alert, turn-across traffic alert, Cruising/Traffic Support (that assists drivers in slow-moving traffic with automatic accelerator, brake and steering control to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead), and a see-through view front camera.
