ICYMI: We’ve been trying out Mazda’s first plug-in hybrid, the CX-60! With a lower starting price than many of its rivals, could it be the a great alternative to its BMW and Toyota rivals? -
. Petrol and diesel engines will follow later, but the CX-60 PHEV is expected to account for 75% of CX-60 sales.
So, with a generous list of equipment, the promise of low CO2 emissions and the potential of low fuel bills, does the CX-60 stack up against its rivals?This plug-in hybrid Mazda CX-60 is powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and a 134bhp electric motor. Total power output when the two join forces is 323bhp, which is good for a 0-62mph time of 5.8sec. Thanks to four-wheel drive as standard, there’s very little drama when it comes to deploying all that power.
It's a shame that running on electric power alone doesn't bring as much tranquility as it could; there’s plenty of whine from the electric motor during acceleration and there’s a fair amount of wind noise from around the front windows at motorway speeds. The suspension thumps when dealing with potholes and scarred surfaces, too.
The CX-60 remains composed whether you’re heading down an undulating road or tackling a series of corners, and deals with mid-corner bumps with ease. The steering betters the Ford Kuga's by not being too sharp, and its well-judged weight makes it engaging enough to encourage a keen driver in the bends. It's not at all bad for an SUV that almost weighs two tonnes, although we reckon the X3 has a better balance of agility and ride comfort.
