Verdict
At RM200,510, the Mazda CX-60 is only RM2,510 dearer than the RM198,000 Toyota Urban Cruiser, yet it is a substantially larger proposition: 4,740 mm long with a 2,870 mm wheelbase and a 570-litre boot, against 4,285 mm, 2,700 mm and 306 litres. Its 2.5-litre petrol rear-drive layout also reaches 200 km/h, but annual road tax is RM830. The Urban Cruiser’s 61.1-kWh battery, 426-km range and RM120 road tax suit EV-minded owners, while its 8.7-second sprint is quicker. For family space and long-haul luggage, take Mazda.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you need the 570-litre boot, larger 4,740-mm body and rear-wheel drive.
Pick the Toyota Urban Cruiser if you want a 426-km EV range, lower RM120 annual road tax and a quicker 8.7-second 0-100 km/h time.
