Mazda is rolling out a major update to its CX-60SUV range, aimed squarely at addressing complaints surrounding the current model’s ride quality and transmission.
The updated CX-60 has received various mechanical upgrades, as well as tweaks to standard features and a pair of new trim levels.
The suspension update follows a fix that arrived in March 2024, when Mazda Australia gave owners the option to have installed – at no cost – a revised rear shock absorber. This was also fitted on new builds from October 2023.
The latest updates are claimed to “broaden the five-seater’s established appeal”, while enhancing the overall handling of the car.

The 2025 Mazda CX-60 still features double wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, but it now has softer rear springs, increased rear rebound damping, and firmer front compression damping, aimed at smoothing its ride.
Additionally, the car’s power steering, all-wheel drive, and stability systems have been recalibrated.
Mazda has also addressed complaints about the CX-60’s eight-speed automatic transmission.
It says clutch control improvements now result in “even smoother and more responsive combustion-engine-to-electric motor transitions and a wider gear range”.
Joining the range are new Pure and Touring grades. The Pure will be the new base model, below the Evolve, while the Touring will slot between the Evolve and GT.
The launch of the Pure brings the CX-60 range’s starting price to just over $50,000 before on-roads. That’s a drop of $10,560.
For a limited time, Mazda is offering the new entry-level G40e Pure at $53,990 drive-away nationwide.
Mazda’s Vision Technology Package is now standard on the Evolve and above. It was previously an option on all but the Azami, where it was standard fit, and brings various tech and safety enhancements like a larger instrument display and cruising and traffic support.
Engine options for the new variants are unchanged, comprising a 2.5-litre plug-in hybrid four-cylinder powertrain alongside six-cylinder petrol and diesel mild-hybrids.
Pricing is down across the board for the CX-60.
