Engine

In Australia, Mazda will offer the CX-60 in three engine options. The list includes -

• A plug-in hybrid powertrain including a Skyactiv-G 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated 4-Cyl petrol mill making 192 PS and 261 Nm of torque and a 136 PS/250 Nm e-motor. The total system output comes to 327 PS and 500 Nm
• An e-Skyactiv D 3.3-litre straight-six turbo diesel with Mazda’s M Hybrid Boost 48V mild hybrid system with an electric motor. The unit generates a max power of 254 PS along with a peak torque of 550 Nm
• A mild hybrid straight-six e-Skyactiv G 3.3-litre turbo petrol unit pumping 284 PS and 450 Nm of torque

The electric motor is powered by a 17.8 kWh lithium battery positioned under the car's floor. It offers an electric-only range of 60 km and can be charged through an AC input. A full charge would take 2 hrs 20 mins in total.

Drivetrain

All three Mazda CX0-60 powertrains will be offered with a rear-biased i-Activ all-wheel drive system along with 8-speed automatic transmission. The latter uses a multi-plate clutch instead of a torque converter.
