Verdict
At RM200,510, the Mazda CX-60 is RM88,490 cheaper than the RM289,000 Toyota Harrier, yet brings a 189 hp/261 Nm 2.5-litre petrol engine, rear-wheel drive, 2,870 mm wheelbase and a 570-litre boot. The Harrier counters with hybrid assistance, a 118 hp/202 Nm motor, tyre-pressure monitoring, rear cross-traffic braking and unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty. For a Malaysian buyer carrying luggage or seeking stronger outright outputs, the CX-60 is the more convincing deal; the Harrier’s case rests on its hybrid system and longer warranty cover.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you want to save RM88,490 while gaining 14 hp, 40 Nm, rear-wheel drive and a 570-litre boot.
Pick the Toyota Harrier if hybrid assistance, tyre-pressure monitoring, rear cross-traffic braking and unlimited-mileage warranty matter more than boot space and power.
