The biggest news for the 2025 model year was its knockout pricing. There’s also a lot more of car for that price when it comes to the new CX-60, which is now a much more attainable machine after its entry-level price fell by a whopping $10,500 compared with the old model year. With the aggressive pricing approach, the CX-60 is one of the most attractive value propositions in the premium midsize SUV space.
Even the bottom of the range model now has an MSRP more in line with such things as volume car sales, as opposed to high-end cars. This price revision enables Mazda to reach the more extensive population while retaining the image as the sophisticated brand.
New higher-quality suspension settings for improved rider comfort and confidence.
Mazda engineers’ energy, is directed toward suspension updates on the 2025 CX-60. The refreshed setup is complemented by updated damper tuning and spring rates, which result in a more absorbent ride without compromising the precise, dynamic handling for which all Mazdas are engineered.
There is a strut type suspension system with stabilizer bars in the front and a multi-link setup in the rear. They’ve both been retuned to better soak up uneven surfaces and yet still allow for accurate body control during cornering. These changes lead to a vehicle that is far more planted and composed in most driving situations.
In addition, engineers have installed next generation sound-deadening material in the frame to effectively block road noise. This focus on NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) add to what should be a much more upmarket cabin given the CX-60’s place in the market.
Chain Development: Improved Power Delivery
Attention has been paid to the transmission system for the next model year 2025. Newly revised programming shifts in a smoother manner and more logical shift points come courtesy of an 8-speed automatic transmission and not the 6-speed of yore. This updated software mapping now features a more aggressive acceleration profile and less hesitation during down shifts.
It also delivers crisp engagement and puts more control in the hands of the driver through the use of paddle shifters in manual mode. The transmission learning algorithm now is improved for better customization according to each individual driver which offers improved driving experience.
For AWD models, the transmission is designed to help deliver driving comfort and peace of mind with a dies 9 ient control system that is paired wîth Mazda’s predictive i-ACTIV AWD system. This combination provides maximum traction and efficiency in different surfaces and weather conditions.
Powertrain: Efficiency With A Hint Of Performance
Power and Performance Options The 2025 model year of the CX-60 has options for everyone, even those thorough enthusiast drivers. Its gasoline engine options have been updated with the Skyactiv-G series for a spirited and efficient drive, while the mild-hybrid versions pack even more punch and fuel efficiency.
If efficiency is the name of your game, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is still on the table, providing a lot of electric-only range for a round of day-to-day commuting, as well as the adaptability of a gasoline engine if you’ve got a rambler to make. All powertrains have been re-tuned to complement the new suspension and transmission systems as part of a holistic driving experience.
Fine-Tuned Interior: Premium Features in Every Detail
Inside the cabin, Mazda hasn’t changed its belief in using premium materials and thinking about what it’s making. The interior is a mix of high-quality soft-touch plastics, real leather where it makes sense and metal trim pieces to enhance the sense of occasion. Mazda’s refusal to use any cheap-feeling plastic has taken over the cabin, making it seem more expensive than its price tag.
The design has been reworked slightly in the centre console to provide a more ergonomic setting with frequently used controls within easy reach of the driver. The infotainment screen has the same dimensions and placement as before, but the system has been reworked for better fluidity and better response times.
They have put emphasis on seating comfort with the new bolster design and increased cushion density. The seats are firm and comfortably cradles both the front and rear passengers to minimize fatigue on longer trips. The back bench is fine for three adults, but the middle seat is best left for shorter journeys.

Functional features like door handle, mirrors, and badging are also addressed. These parts are typical of Mazda’s attention to detail and workmanship which reinforce the overall sense of quality despite the reduced cost structure.
Market Position: VALUE REDEFINED
Between the significant price drop and the mechanical enhancements, the 2025 CX-60 is an extremely attractive offer. Its class-leading standard features, composed driving dynamics, and reasonable pricing make it a compelling against the well-known nameplates in the class.
Mazda looks to be thinking that they’ll steal sales from those that would otherwise opt for base-model luxury SUVs or crossovers which are fully loaded with options. It’s a nice package that offers a lot of top-shelf features at a price that undercuts most of the traditional premium competition.
Practicalities – practicalities of everyday use
The cargo area is still very accommodating, and the rear seats have a convenient split-folding design for flexibility when carrying larger items. The power liftgate has been reworked to be more fluidic in operation and the loading height is still practical for day to day use.
Fuel economy numbers depend on what powertrain you go for, but either one turns in solid numbers for the segment. The PHEV is particularly noteworthy for purchasers with ready access to charging infrastructure, the existence of which would allow for almost no fuel consumption in daily use.

Competition Analysis: How to Rise Above in a Saturated Market
The midsize premium SUV class is a popular one, sitting at the intersection of quality luxury and family SUV segments. The cost makes the CX-60 a very strong contender against vehicles with similar level of features but perhaps not the same integrated design and driving dynamics that Mazda is known for.
Direct competition comes from the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot and some German luxury makes. The CX-60’s touch of upmarket feel, polished dynamics, and affordable premium positioning would carve it out a unique niche to compete for conquest sales over a broad section of the rest of the market.
Prospects: The Strategy Is Sustainable
Mazda’s move in bringing the asking price of the CX-60 down by such a margin is one that forms part of a broader strategy to secure additional sales while still aspiring to be a more premium brand. What this also means is that the company can pursue price-sensitive customers while keeping the brand image untarnished and product quality intact.
The mechanical enhancements are evidence that Mazda is dedicated to constant improvement and that the CX-60 stays relevant against competitors with recent updates or new vehicles. This commitment to evolution, not revolution, is traditionally in step with Mazda’s engineering ethos, and it helps to keep Mazda customers happy.
A Staggering Number of Features for the Money
The 2025 Mazda CX-60 could very well be a game changer in its segment. Reduce the price $10,500 and add some suspension and transmission upgrades and you have an SUV that defies market categorizations.
Buyers looking for a premium SUV feel without the astronomical price tag should take a good long look at the CX-60. Its classy driving dynamics, upscale cabin and loaded feature content offer tremendous value. “An updating of the CX-60 for model year 2025 keeps it fresh and helps keep it a top pick for people who make a point of putting a high value on their purchase and the performance that comes with it.”
With Mazda seemingly honing its product range, the CX-60 is proof that it can now add a touch-minish model while still offering similar high-quality experiences, albeit from lower price points. Such positioning could easily reset the benchmark for premium SUVs all together, causing stiff rivals to reconsider their own value in the wake of Mazda’s audacious, cutthroat approach to pricing.
