Inovev plans 100,000 units per year of the new Mazda CX60 SUV
- The Japanese Mazda, one of the last major manufacturers still independent, intends to gradually move from the status of generalist manufacturer to specialist (or Premium) manufacturer, a status which according to him offers greater potential for sales and profit (the models being sold more expensive ). Proof of this gradual entry into Premium is the launch of the CX60 SUV, which is the brand's largest SUV (D segment), also equipped with a rechargeable hybrid engine (PHEV). This is also the first model of the brand equipped with this type of engine. By its dimensions and its price, the CX60 is clearly positioned in front of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes GLC and Volvo XC60. It is priced from 53,000 to 60,000 euros depending on the version.
- 4.75 m long, the CX60 exceeds the Mazda CX5 by 20 centimeters. It will be produced in Hofu (Japan), alongside the brand's other SUVs, namely the CX30, CX5, CX8, CX9, as well as the new CX50 which targets the Jeep brand. But unlike the latter, which will only be marketed in North America, the CX60 will be sold on all continents.
- Its engine is a 2.5-liter 192 hp petrol engine supplemented by a 136 hp electric motor, which represents a total power of 328 hp. The model is of course four-wheel drive.
- In 2021, the Mazda CX3, CX30, CX5, CX8 and CX9 were produced respectively at 48,000 units, 69,000 units, 306,000 units, 22,000 units and 56,000 units, making a total of 500,000 SUVs produced by the manufacturer last year, out of a total of 740,000 Mazda vehicles produced in Japan in 2021. Inovev expects 100,000 units per year of the new CX60.
