Verdict
At RM200,510, the five-seat CX-60 is RM96,100 cheaper and gives you a far more useful 570-litre boot. Its 2.5-litre 189 hp/261 Nm petrol setup drives the rear wheels, against the CX-80’s all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid system. The CX-80 brings six seats, a 17.8 kWh battery, 65 km EV range and a 3,120 mm wheelbase, but its boot shrinks to 258 litres. Choose it only if its extra row and charging ability fit your routine; otherwise the CX-60 makes stronger sense.
CX-60
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if five seats, a 570-litre boot and saving RM96,100 matter more than plug-in hybrid running.
CX-80
Pick the Mazda CX-80 if you need six seats, all-wheel drive and can make use of its 65 km EV range.
