The Mazda CX-60 is now officially open for booking in Malaysia, with a registration of interest page now survive Mazda Malaysia’s website.
As we came upon from local dealers previously, the CX-60 can be fully imported from Japan and is obtainable in a sole 2.5G 2WD High variant. In accordance with the value 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 could have a selection of 5 colors to select from, namely Soul Red Crystal, Jet Black, Zircon Sand, Platinum Quartz and Rhodium White. The quantity they may pay includes window tinting in addition to a five-year, 100,000-km warranty and free maintenance.
The ROI page doesn’t mention powertrain or equipment details, although the previous 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 identical setup offered in Singapore. Sadly, we’re not getting the CX-60 with the brand’s recent inline-six engines which 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 two,700 mm.
At its estimated asking price, the CX-60 can be priced above the CX-5 that retails for between RM144,469 and RM188,760 OTR without insurance – each are five-seaters. As such, the CX-60 is sort of RM12k greater 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?
