In the tranquil setting of Nena’s Sanctuary in Laguna, Mazda Philippines unveiled the latest evolution of its premium all‑hybrid SUV, the Mazda CX‑60. More than a refresh, this model represents Mazda’s philosophy of continuous improvement, elevating performance, comfort, and craftsmanship to new heights.
Since its Philippine debut, the CX‑60 has already sold more than 800 units, making the country the largest market for the SUV in Asia outside of Japan. For Mazda Philippines President and CEO Steven Tan, this milestone is proof of the CX‑60’s strong reception among Filipino buyers. “The new CX‑60 enriches that success by offering refinements that go deeper than design—these changes elevate the driving experience in every way,” he shared.
Mazda’s principle of Jinba Ittai, the harmony between car and driver, is at the heart of the updates. The suspension has been re‑engineered with softer rear springs, new bump stops, and firmer front compression rates, while recalibrated steering and stability systems deliver improved balance even on rough roads. This complements the Large Vehicle Platform, a front‑engine, rear‑wheel drive layout that distributes workload efficiently between axles. Despite its imposing size, the CX‑60 maneuvers with surprising agility thanks to a compact 5.4‑meter turning radius.
Under the hood, the CX‑60 offers a family of inline‑six engines in gasoline and diesel variants, each paired with Mazda’s 48‑volt hybrid system. The 3.3‑liter e‑Skyactiv‑G produces 284 PS and 450 Nm, while the e‑Skyactiv‑D delivers 254 PS and 550 Nm. Both engines embody Mazda’s “right‑sizing” concept, balancing smooth refinement at low speeds with a clean, engaging tone at full throttle. The Skyactiv‑Drive 8‑speed automatic has also been enhanced for seamless transitions between combustion and electric power.
Inside, the CX‑60 continues to set new standards in Japanese craftsmanship. Noise, vibration, and harshness levels have been further reduced with denser dashboard insulation, reinforced doors, and expanded trunk soundproofing. The cabin design emphasizes horizontal symmetry and driver‑focused ergonomics, highlighted by three main displays: a 12.3‑inch digital instrument panel, a 12.3‑inch infotainment screen, and a 10.4‑inch heads‑up display. 
Mazda’s Driver Personalization System uses facial recognition to restore more than 250 settings for up to six users, ensuring every drive feels tailored and intuitive.
Premium touches abound, from ventilated Nappa leather seats and ambient lighting to a panoramic sunroof and wireless device charging. The latest Mazda Connect system allows wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while a 12‑speaker Bose sound system delivers immersive audio.
On the outside, Mazda’s design philosophy of “beauty through subtraction” shines through. The CX‑60’s long hood, rearward cabin, and powerful grille are framed by adaptive LED headlamps, while crafted 20‑inch alloy wheels and a hands‑free tailgate complete the look. Available in signature Takuminuri colors—Rhodium White Premium, Soul Red Crystal, and Machine Gray—the CX‑60 embodies elegance in every shade.
The new CX‑60 comes in two variants: the 3.3L AWD HEV Turbo priced at ₱2,890,000, and the 3.3L AWD HEV Turbo‑D Sport at ₱2,990,000. Both include a five‑year free service plan covering periodic maintenance up to 100,000 kilometers, alongside a three‑year bumper‑to‑bumper warranty and a five‑year hybrid battery warranty.
With its unveiling at Nena’s Sanctuary, the CX‑60 reinforces Mazda’s commitment to blending performance, luxury, and craftsmanship. It is more than a premium SUV—it is a refined expression of Mazda’s vision, designed to resonate with Filipino drivers who demand both elegance and endurance.
