The CX-60 GT is the overtly sporty version of the Hiroshima brand’s big mid-sized SUV.
Hailing from Japan and released in mid-2025, the GT – like all MY25 CX-60s – features improved suspension and transmission calibrations, to make it a comfier, smoother riding experience.
Commencing from $64,240 before on-road costs, the GT includes niceties like 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 and 20-inch alloys.
These features build on the Touring’s leather trim, 360-degree view camera, ground-view monitor, front/rear parking sensors, 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.
The CX-60 GT also comes standard with a host of safety items that have aided it in its quest for a five-star ANCAP crash-test accolade, from eight airbags and adaptive cruise control to plenty of advanced driver-assist safety items such as 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.
The G40e is a popular CX-60 engine choice, consisting of a 3.3-litre in-line six-cylinder (I6) turbocharged petrol engine, delivering 209kW of power and 450Nm of torque. On the combined cycle, it averages 7.4L/100km for 174g/km of carbon-dioxide emissions.
The 3.3L I6 turbo-diesel powered version, labelled as the D50e, makes 187kW and 550Nm, sips 5.0L/100km on average for 132g/km, and costs $2000 more.
Then there is the P50e – a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). It lines up Mazda’s long-lived 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a 129kW electric motor and a 17.8kWh Lithium ion battery, for 241kW and 500Nm in total. A 2.1L/100km result, with a CO2 figure of 49g/km, contribute to a combined average 2380km of distance between refills, as well as a 76km battery EV-only range.
Finally, there’s an in-house eight-speed, wet-plate-clutch automatic transmission, driving all four wheels.
These are specifications that read like a BMW's!
