The CX-60 blots its reliability copybook with a dead digital gauge cluster and a flat battery car auto cars
Average Fuel Economy:I’ve seen into the future and it’s a big black abyss. That’s what I was faced with one morning when I pushed the CX-60’s starter button and peered into the recess where the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster lives and saw nothing but inky darkness. The mainscreen on the dash was still working, and the CX’s hybrid powertrain was still operating normally, but the instrument pack was a no-show.
The Mazda CX-60’s gauge pack, which is the same as the one fitted to the CX-90, is less useful than some rival digital clusters because it can’t be configured in as many ways. But it is the only place on the car where you can see how much petrol and electric charge you have left.
The gauge pack hasn’t failed to report to duty since, but the episode has made the old man in me wonder what’s going to happen when all of these new cars that rely completely on screens for everything start to get old. It’ll never be more than a minor inconvenience for the first owners if they pack up within the first three years, but 10 or 15 years down the line it’s going to be a different story.
