Motoring New luxury Mazda unveiled

l CAR LAUNCH

| Nick Dalton MAZDA’S new luxury CX-60 has been launched with fanfare at Westco Mazda’s Newell St showroom.

Seven models, including the top-of-the-range Azami, were on display at last Friday’s launch.

Westco Mazda general manager Scott King said “it was an exciting day for us at Westco Mazda”.

“The CX-60 is a new direction Mazda is taking, in engineering and product,” he said.

“It’s a lot different and Mazda are bucking the trend of smaller engines and smaller vehicles.

“It’s bigger with a bit more performance and a bit more power, more tech, more luxury.

“There are more down the track, including the CX-90 and the CX-80.”

The CX-60 comes with a plug-in four cylinder hybrid and petrol and diesel in-line six cylinder engines. Prices start at $64,798 (on-road) and top out at $93,291.
