Updated Mazda CX-60 gains enhanced technology, new interior options, additional safety features and increased standard equipment for 2026
The 2026 Mazda CX-60 arrives with a comprehensive package of upgrades designed to further strengthen Mazda’s position in the premium SUV market.
Sitting alongside the updated 2026 Mazda CX-80, the latest Mazda CX-60 continues to serve as one of the brand’s flagship SUVs, combining premium design, advanced technology, driving performance and a choice of electrified powertrains.
For customers looking for a sophisticated family SUV with a choice of plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid diesel powertrains, the 2026 Mazda CX-60 offers an extensive range of specification and equipment.
The elegant exterior design of the Mazda CX-60 remains unchanged for 2026, retaining the distinctive styling associated with Mazda's Kodo – Soul of Motion design philosophy.
However, there are several notable changes to the specification.
Exclusive-Line models now feature metallic silver 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, replacing the previous 18-inch wheels.
For the first time, Polymetal Grey is also available across the entire Mazda CX-60 range, giving customers another option for the SUV's exterior finish.
The 2026 Mazda CX-60 is available in a 10-model line-up, spanning five grades:
These grades are available across the 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv PHEV and 3.3-litre e-Skyactiv D MHEV diesel powertrains, giving customers the ability to choose the specification and powertrain combination that best suits their requirements.
The interior of the 2026 Mazda CX-60 continues the premium approach established by the model, combining high-quality materials with Japanese-inspired design.
Depending on specification, the cabin features materials including real maple wood, Nappa leather and Japanese textiles.
One of the most significant interior additions for the 2026 model year is a new tan interior option for the Homura Plus.
The new cabin combines quilted Nappa leather seats with a two-tone leather steering wheel and suede-look dashboard, providing an alternative to the existing interior choices.
Homura Plus can also be specified with Black Nappa leather.
At the top of the range, the Takumi and Takumi Plus models continue to offer a distinctive premium interior featuring white Nappa leather, maple wood trim, woven fabrics and Japanese Kakenui ‘hanging stitching’ seams.
Mazda has also focused on improving refinement and everyday usability throughout the 2026 CX-60 range.
Noise-insulating glass is now fitted to the front doors across all grades, helping create a quieter cabin environment.
The latest CX-60 also introduces Amazon Alexa in-car voice recognition, giving drivers a natural voice interface for functions including navigation, entertainment and connected features.
The updated navigation system now includes hybrid navigation, offering alternative route calculations and point-of-interest searches.
Customers also benefit from seven years of free map updates, helping keep navigation information current.
Safety technology has been significantly expanded for the 2026 Mazda CX-60, building upon the model's existing five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
A key addition is Driver Emergency Assist (DEA). Working alongside the vehicle's Driver Monitoring system, DEA is designed to detect sudden medical emergencies affecting the driver and, where appropriate, take control of the vehicle and safely bring it to a stop.
The 2026 Mazda CX-60 also gains a range of safety and driver assistance technologies previously introduced on the flagship Mazda CX-80.
Driver Monitoring is now standard across the CX-60 range, while additional safety systems include:
From Exclusive-Line specification, the CX-60 benefits from Smart Brake Support Front Crossing, Front Cross Traffic Alert and Front Cross Traffic Braking, as well as the Towing Hitch Guide function.
These technologies are designed to provide additional support and awareness in a range of everyday driving situations.
The 2026 Mazda CX-60 continues to give UK customers a choice of two electrified powertrain technologies.
The 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv PHEV provides plug-in hybrid capability for customers looking to combine electric driving with the flexibility of a petrol engine.
The 3.3-litre e-Skyactiv D MHEV uses Mazda's mild hybrid diesel technology, offering an alternative for customers who prioritise long-distance driving and the characteristics of a diesel powertrain.
This choice reflects Mazda's broader Multi-Solution approach, offering customers different technologies rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to vehicle electrification.
Despite the specification changes for 2026, the Mazda CX-60 retains the elegant exterior design that has helped establish it within Mazda's premium SUV range.
Its proportions, sculpted surfaces and distinctive front-end design reflect Mazda's Kodo design philosophy, while the premium interior creates a sophisticated environment for both everyday driving and longer journeys.
The CX-60 sits within an increasingly broad Mazda SUV line-up, alongside models including the Mazda CX-30, Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-80, while Mazda's electrified portfolio continues to expand with the all-electric Mazda6e and forthcoming Mazda CX-6e.
Commenting on the 2026 Mazda CX-60, Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director, Mazda Motors UK, said:
“the latest evolution of the Mazda CX-60 makes it an even more tempting proposition for retail and fleet customers. Sitting alongside, the 2026 CX-80, the ever-popular Mazda CX-30, the recently launched all-new Mazda CX-5 and the forthcoming all-electric Mazda CX-6e, we now give customers a fantastic choice of SUV modes with a range of powertrains designed to suit different customer needs and lifestyles. The 2026 Mazda CX-60 underscores Mazda’s commitment to delivering sophisticated SUVs that blend performance and comfort with elegance and class-leading style”.
With enhanced safety technology, additional equipment, new interior options and greater connectivity, the 2026 Mazda CX-60 builds on the strengths of Mazda's premium SUV.
