Mazda details engines, new gearbox for the CX-60. Mazda MazdaCX60 CX60 CarGuidePH
Photos may not do it justice, but the five-seater CX-60 measures in at 4,740 mm x 1,890 mm x 1,685 mm while a wheelbase measuring in at 2,870 mm. The front and rear tracks are 1,640 mm and 1,645 mm, respectively. By comparison, it’s longer, in both overall length and wheelbase, than a BMW X3.
As revealed before, the CX-60 debuts Mazda’s very-own plug-in hybrid system which pairs a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine with an electric motor. This results in Mazda’s most powerful production car with 327 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. Aside from that engine though, Mazda has also revealed the three other engines available for the CX-60. Two were already revealed during the European debut: the 3.0-liter e-Skyactiv-X and the 3.3-liter Skyactiv-D, both of which have inline-6 configurations and mild hybrid boost. These two will be joined by a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G which is presumably the PHEV powertrain minus the electric motor. Mazda hasn’t directly mentioned it, but this version is likely turbocharged.
Whatever the engine, the CX-60 gets a new innovative gearbox. The 8-speed automatic ditches the torque converter. Per Mazda, the new transmission shifts gears in the same manner as a torque converter gearbox—via planetary gears and multi-plate clutches—but it does not have a hydraulic converter as an input clutch, instead it has a multiplate clutch as well as an integrated electric motor/generator.
Furthermore, the CX-60 rides on front double wishbones and a rear multi-link suspension. And because it is rear-wheel drive as standard, it gets the MX-5’s newfangledFinally, the CX-60 launches the Driver Abnormality Response System or DEA. DEA works in conjunction with the driver monitoring system.
