2023 Mazda CX-60 hits Indonesian roads; two variants on offer

KUALA LUMPUR: Amidst anticipation of the Mazda CX-60's arrival in Malaysia, Indonesia has become the third ASEAN market to receive the brand's latest SUV, following Singapore and the Philippines. 

PT Eurokars Motor Indonesia, the official distributor of Mazda cars in Indonesia, offers the CX-60 in two variants - Elite and Kuro, both priced at IDR 1,188,800,000 (approximately equal to RM 358,836).

What sets the two variants apart are exterior and interior trims. The CX-60 Elite comes equipped with a bar-type front grille, bright chrome signature wing, 20-inch diamond-cut wheels, side signature, window trim, and rear bumper garnish. The exterior colour palette includes - Rhodium White Metallic, Machine Grey Metallic, Platinum Quartz Metallic, and Jet Black Mica. 

The CX-60 Kuro, on the other hand, is kitted with a honeycomb-type front grille, dark chrome signature wing, 20-inch gloss black wheels, side signature, and rear bumper garnish. Three exterior colour options are Rhodium White Metallic, Soul Red Crystal Metallic, and Deep Crystal Blue Mica.

Inside the cabin, the Elite features Pure White Nappa Leather and Maple wood trim with woven fabric trim, while the Kuro is decked up with Tan Nappa Leather combined with suede material.

However, in terms of mechanical setup, both variants are identical. Both are powered by a 3.3-litre inline-6 e-Skyactiv G mild-hybrid engine, which kicks out a maximum power of 280 PS and a peak torque of 450 Nm. 

The power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission that uses a clutch instead of a torque converter for a more direct transfer of torque, which leads to quick and responsive shifts similar to a manual gearbox, claims Mazda.

The front and rear suspension of the SUV are paired with an innovative Kinematic Posture Control system that employs the brakes to stabilise the car during turns and rough terrains, promising a smooth driving experience.

Among the other key inclusions are -

• 12.3-inch instrument panel
• 12.3-inch infotainment display
• Panoramic sunroof
• Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive)
• Mazda Radar Cruise Control
• Driver Monitoring System
• Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Cruising and Traffic Support
• Lane Departure Warning System
• Lane Keep Assist System
