MAZDA CX-60 3.3 E-SKYACTIV D
TESTED 30.3.23, SCOTTISH BORDERS ON SALE NOW
All-new straight-six diesel SUV arrives in the UK. Guard of honour for the maverick?
TESTER’S NOTE
I also had a quick go in the 197bhp RWD version, and through a damp third-gear bend, it adopted a sliver of yaw like a proper sports saloon. Bizarre but brilliant.

Never change, Mazda. This is the firm that appropriated the British roadster, saving it from extinction, and that championed the rotary engine so dedicatedly that when it plumbed one into a Group C racer, victory at Le Mans followed. Quite incredible. Yet 2023 might just bring the most iconoclastic move in its long history.
