2025 Mazda CX-60 price and specs: Mid-size SUV gets price cuts, mechanical updates
Mazda is rolling out a major update to its CX-60 SUV 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
Pricing is down across the board for the CX-60.
Drivetrains and Efficiency
Mazda's three-engine lineup for the CX-60 is unchanged for 2025. Weight figures vary between trim levels, but are not currently listed for Pure and Touring grades.
Dimensions
Servicing and Warranty
The Mazda CX-60 is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and five years of roadside assistance. Mazda offers seven years of capped-price servicing.

Ford Ranger PHEV won't be for tradies
If you're thinking about buying a Ford Ranger PHEV and replacing the tub with a steel tray or work canopy, the Blue Oval has a word of advice: don't. The first plug-in hybrid Ranger will only be available in four dual-cab 4×4 pickup variants from launch: XLT, Sport, Wildtrak, and Stormtrak. The new PHEV powertrain option won't be offered in the same fleet- and trade-oriented single-cab, 4×2 and cab/chassis configurations as the diesel-powered Ranger, leading to questions around whether workhorse modifications like a steel tray can be retrofitted to the electrified dual-cab ute. Speaking at the Ranger PHEV's local launch, chief program engineer Phil Millar said owners shouldn't fit their own steel trays post-purchase, citing incompatibilities with PHEV-specific components and warranty issues. 'At this point, we're not recommending you do that. There's a number of critical features under the vehicle that are protected by the tub, as well as the fuelling system, the integrated high-voltage system, a whole raft of critical components in the back,' he said. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert 'There's other integrated systems like a… fuel vapour recovery system. There could be long periods of time running that [internal combustion engine], building up vapour in the system. 'So it's got a locking fuel door, which then, when run off the fuel door button inside, which is unique to PHEV, allows the system to vent.' That's despite Mr Millar outlining that the Ranger PHEV's 11.8kWh battery is mounted to specially designed chassis rails under the tub, rather than being integrated into the floor of the tub itself. 'It's mounted on the chassis. If you see underneath, the battery's got an aluminium casing with in-built cooling channels at the bottom of the casing, and that's mounted up and on top of the spare wheel,' he said. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Ford Australia marketing director Ambrose Henderson says any issues that arise from owners modifying the Ranger PHEV's tub wouldn't be covered by warranty. 'From a warranty perspective… if the issue or fault is incurred because of something that the customer did that is not recommended, then that warranty is not paid out,' he said. 'But if something happened at the front and it's not related, then it's still covered by the warranty. So it's about whether it was directly related or not.' As it stands, the Ranger PHEV is a dual-cab pickup-only ute starting at $71,990 before on-roads for the XLT. Still, the Ranger PHEV-rivalling BYD Shark 6 and GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV are also offered exclusively as dual-cab utes. MORE: Everything Ford Ranger

2026 Bentley Bentayga Speed revealed as British brand's fastest SUV yet
It seems the axing of Bentley's legendary twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 last year wasn't all bad news, since the V8 that replaces it in the upgraded 2026 Bentley Bentayga Speed makes the British brand's flagship SUV even quicker, faster, lighter and more agile than before. Revealed overnight ahead of first Australian customer deliveries in the third quarter (July to September) of 2026, the refreshed Bentayga Speed is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 that produces 478kW of power and 850Nm of torque (over 2250-4500rpm). That's up 11kW but down 50Nm on the 12-cylinder model it replaces, yet because the V8 reduces kerb weight by 42kg to a still-hefty 2466kg, the latest Bentayga Speed is claimed to hit 60mph (97km/h) from standstill half a second sooner, in 3.4 seconds. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Given that 0-60mph time equates to a 0-100km/h time of about 3.5 seconds, it means the flagship version of Bentley's only SUV is now as quick as the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E-Performance plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV and the Kia EV6 GT electric 'SUV' (and now much quicker than a base Porsche 911). However, it's still slower than a host of other high-performance SUVs, including the Lamborghini Urus Performante, Ferrari Purosangue and Aston Martin DBX707 (all of which claim a 3.3-second 0-100km/h time), and electric SUVs including the Lotus Eletre R (2.9s), Porsche Macan Electric Turbo (3.3s) and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N (3.4s) Bentley says the newest Bentayga Speed is also faster than ever, with its top speed of 310km/h – almost 5km/h more than before – matching the DBX707 and bettering the Purosangue, but falling just short of the Urus SE Hybrid. To show off its extra pace, the V8-powered Speed scores a sports exhaust system as standard, but an optional Akrapovic titanium unit with quad outlets should make up for its four fewer cylinders when it comes to the exhaust note. There are also revised drive modes including a Sport mode that increases damping stiffness by 15 per cent and increases the stability control system threshold to "permit exhilarating drift angles". Combined with less weight over its nose, rear-wheel steering increases both high-speed stability and low-speed manoeuvrability, leading Bentley to claim the Speed is its most agile SUV ever. Cosmetically, the top-shelf Bentayga wears Speed badges on the outside and rides on unique 22-inch wheels, with the option of 23-inch rims wrapped around carbon-ceramic brake rotors. Completing the Speed package inside is a revised digital instrument cluster layout, Speed badging on the seats, scuff plates and the passenger side of the dashboard, and special quilted Precision Diamon trim highlights. Australian pricing is yet to be confirmed, but the existing Bentayga Speed is priced at $531,500 before on-road costs, positioning it well above the entry-level 404kW/770Nm Bentayga V8 and the 340kW/700Nm V6 Hybrid (both priced from $395,800), as well as S and Azure variants with the same powertrains. The Mulliner Hybrid tops Bentley Australia's current Bentayga range at $646,800 plus on-roads.
