We're six months and 12,000 miles into life with the CX-60 PHEV, but what have we learned? car auto cars
’s long-termer section for the past six months and 11,000 or so miles , which is plenty of time to generate some firm electric range and economy numbers. But of course, being a PHEV, those numbers can vary dramatically depending on where you drive it and whether you remember to charge it, which takes 7h 50 from flat using a regular 240-volt UK household socket.
I’ve never matched Mazda’s quoted 39-mile electric range, but I have seen 32 a few times. Most days, though, theseems to be toast in 25 miles . That’s enough for me to run errands close to the house like dropping kids at school, and means many days the 2.5 ICE motor doesn’t get out of bed, but it doesn’t make much of an impact on a four-hour motorway blast.
On those kinds of long, high-speed drives with the 17.8 kWh of battery energy a distant memory, the economy tends to be around 26-28 mpg , but a more normal mix of short and long journeys over the course of a month can get the numbers up towards 31-32 mpg . One annoying detail is the fluctuation in the overall petrol/electric driving range and also the fuel level. Just check out the two images above to see what I’m talking about. In the top pic the car shows no usable battery charge, so no electric range, but thinks I can only do 140 miles on more than three quarters of a tank of fuel .
that uses this same platform and drivetrain, but we imagine it also suffers from the same indecision. Let us know if you’ve driven a CX-90 and can tell us if that’s true.
