The new Mazda CX-60 will boast similar proportions to the CX-5 but with an inline six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive layout, promises to be a more sporting and luxurious product.Ī plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) version will also reportedly be available. The SUV segment shows no sign of slowing, according to Mr Bhindi, a fact that has prompted Mazda to push forward with the launch of a new mid-sized model later this year, designed to be complimentary to the CX-5. It’s the latest of 10 different upgrades and refreshes for the CX-5 since it debuted in 2012, including a major styling update as recently as 2017. This year, the vehicle that first brought Mazda’s ‘Kodo’ design language celebrates its 10th anniversary and to mark the occasion Mazda has endowed it with fresh looks, new features and more distinctive model grades. Last year the Mazda ranked second behind the Toyota RAV4 in Australia’s critical medium-SUV segment with a healthy 24,968 sales. The facelifted CX-5 was launched to the media in South Australia’s Barossa Valley, with Mazda Australia Managing Director Vinesh Bhindi telling journalists the model remained one of Mazda’s most globally significant, accounting for more than over 3.5 million sales over the past decade.įully 230,000 of these sales have been in Australia, where Mazda enjoys market share above its global average and where the CX-5 was the number one selling SUV for seven consecutive years between 20.
As other car makers grapple with supply chain issues that are pushing vehicle deliveries out by as much as 12 months, Japanese car maker Mazda finds itself in the happy position of having plenty of stock, short lead times and a freshly updated version of its popular CX-5 mid-sized SUV to take to market.
