Mazda All New CX-60. This car offers a powerful driving experience with its 3,283 cc turbo engine.
This also adds to the fun handling for a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) with a large body with dimensions up to 4.7 meters long.
That's what Carmudi felt when he tried driving this car in early July, before its official launch.
Apart from that, of course there are still many aspects that consumers need to know if they intend to buy this car.
On the outside, the Kuro as the highest variant uses a honeycomb grille, while the Elite variant has a vertical striped design.
Then if you enter the interior, the Kuro variant is seen using brown Nappa leather material.
Material with the same color can also be found on the steering wheel of the Kuro variant which is combined with black.
On the other hand, the Elite variant also uses Nappa leather interior material, but in white.
Then the steering wheel of the Elite variant uses black leather.
It is known that the All New CX-60 is included in the Large Product Group category from the Mazda manufacturer.
It is natural that the body of this car is also relatively large, similar to the body dimensions of ladder frame SUVs currently available in Indonesia.
According to the specification sheet, this car has dimensions of 4,740 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width and 1,686.5 mm in height.
Meanwhile, the wheelbase and ground clearance are 2,870 mm and 177.7 mm respectively.
When compared to the Pajero Sport or Fortuner, the All New CX-60's body has a lower profile.
Apart from that, the two rivals have higher ground clearance, the average of which is above 200 mm.
The All New CX-60 which entered the Indonesian market is only available in a mild hybrid engine version, although overseas it is also available in a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) version.
At a time when most automotive manufacturers are competing to promote small engines, Mazda is confident in its 3,283 cc engine for this car.
The engine with an inline 6-cylinder configuration is also equipped with a turbo.
On paper, the All New CX-60 engine can produce maximum power of 280 hp @ 5,000-6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 450 Nm.
All variants of the All New CX-60 use an 8-speed automatic transmission system.
Meanwhile, the power produced by the engine is distributed to each wheel via the All Wheel Drive (AWD) system.
The All New CX-60 will offer its own enjoyment for those who take the position of driving this car.
For example, through an ideal seating position for comfort while driving.
The All New Mazda CX-60 has a driver personalization system feature which allows the driver to get the best seating position automatically.
This is done by using the facial recognition camera located next to the head unit screen.
To take advantage of this feature, the driver only needs to select the menu then enter his height.
The car will automatically adjust the ideal driving position based on that.
If the driver is not satisfied with the results, he can make the necessary adjustments and then save the settings.
The driver-oriented cabin can also be felt from the wide center console, which clearly separates the driver from the passengers beside him.
The luxurious impression of this car cannot be separated from the premium features it has.
For example, for infotainment, this car uses an audio system from Bose which is equipped with 12 speakers.
This can be found by consumers who choose the Elite or Kuro variants.
The head unit is 12.3 inches and is also equipped with Mazda Connect. The instrument panel also uses a digital screen of the same size.
Other features that are standard on all variants include a sunroof and various active safety features.
These include radar cruise control, Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Lane Keep Assist System (LAS), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), or Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA).
The powerful pull of the engine seems to mean that this car doesn't need to try hard to reach high speeds.
Even though the trials were carried out in limited places, the potential for this can be seen.
This is accompanied by handling that is fun to maneuver.
The All New CX-60's suspension is not the softest, but this actually makes it more stable when cornering.
You can still feel the roar of this car's 6-cylinder engine from inside the cabin, making it even more adrenaline driven to drive it.
