Mazda CX-60 2.5G 2WD High vs 3.3G M AWD High Plus
Verdict
At RM200,510 versus RM252,872, the Mazda CX-60 3.3G M AWD High Plus asks RM52,362 more than the Mazda CX-60 2.5G 2WD High. The money buys a much larger 3,283 cc petrol hybrid/REV engine, 280 hp, 450 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 0.3 kWh battery. Space does not change: both are 4,740 mm long, seat five and have a 570-litre boot. The cheaper car keeps the same body, airbags, AEB and warranty, with far lower road tax.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 2.5G 2WD High if you want the CX-60’s size, safety kit and 570-litre boot without paying for the bigger engine and AWD.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 3.3G M AWD High Plus if the extra 91 hp, 189 Nm and all-wheel drive matter more than the RM52,362 saving.
