Mazda CX-60 vs Volvo XC60
Verdict
The Mazda CX-60 is the cheaper, larger-boot choice at RM200,510, undercutting the Volvo XC60 by RM133,378 while carrying 570 litres against 483 litres. The Volvo counters with the numbers you feel: 246 hp, 350 Nm, all-wheel drive and 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, versus the Mazda’s 189 hp, 261 Nm, rear-wheel drive and 9.6 seconds. If budget and luggage space matter most, Mazda has the cleaner case. If pace and driven-wheel traction matter more, Volvo earns its much higher price.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you want the lower bill, the 570-litre boot and seven airbags, and can live with 9.6 seconds to 100 km/h.
Pick the Volvo XC60 if you want 246 hp, 350 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time, and accept the smaller 483-litre boot.
