The Mazda CX-60 is now officially open for booking in Malaysia, with a registration of interest page now live on Mazda Malaysia’s website.
As we found out from local dealers previously, the CX-60 will be fully imported from Japan and is offered in a sole 2.5G 2WD High variant. According to the price list on the ROI page, this variant is estimated to retail for RM200,510.40 on-the-road without insurance – the previous RM198,900 figure advertised by dealers is before OTR costs.
Buyers will have a choice of five colours to choose from, namely Soul Red Crystal, Jet Black, Zircon Sand, Platinum Quartz and Rhodium White. The amount they will pay includes window tinting as well as a five-year, 100,000-km warranty and free maintenance.
The ROI page doesn’t mention powertrain or equipment details, although the former will likely be a Skyactiv-G 2.5 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four petrol engine rated at 191 PS (189 hp or 141 kW) and 261 Nm of torque. This sends drive to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, which is the same setup offered in Singapore. Sadly, we’re not getting the CX-60 with the brand’s new inline-six engines that are offered in Indonesia and the Philippines.
The CX-60 measures 4,740-4,745 mm long, 1,890 mm wide, 1,680 mm tall and its wheelbase spans 2,870 mm. That makes it larger than the CX-5 which is 4,575 mm long, 1,845 mm wide, 1,675 mm tall and has wheelbase of 2,700 mm.
At its estimated asking price, the CX-60 will be priced above the CX-5 that retails for between RM144,469 and RM188,760 OTR without insurance – both are five-seaters. As such, the CX-60 is nearly RM12k more than the top-spec CX-5 that comes with all-wheel drive and a more powerful turbocharged 2.5 litre inline-four petrol engine making 231 PS (228 hp or 170 kW) and 420 Nm.
Mazda Malaysia doesn’t state a launch date on its ROI page, merely saying that the SUV is “coming soon” – dealers claim deliveries will start in September. Are you excited for the launch of the CX-60?
