The CX-60 And CX-90: Creating SUVs The Mazda Way


Let’s recap what these two vehicles are again. The smaller of these two is the CX-60, while the bigger one is the CX-90. Both represent Mazda’s upmarket aspirations and more crucially, slot above two of the carmaker’s so-called bread-and-butter models—the CX-5 (for the CX-60) and the CX-9 (for the CX-90). This challenge puts Mazda in a unique situation—one which they solved by coming up with a totally new, clean sheet design.

An Ode To The Internal Combustion Engine: Mazda Fan Festa 2023 At Fuji Speedway


It was a traffic jam worth being in. As our bus went inside the premises of the Fuji International Speedway, we were surrounded by a gaggle of Mazdas. Most were MX-5s, CX-5s, and CX-60s, but there was an odd Mazda Luce or two. Seeing the sight, our bus driver muttered the words, “Ah, rotary engine.” While I couldn’t make out the rest of his Nihongo, his knowledge of Mazda’s trademark engine spoke volumes of the brand’s indelible mark among the Japanese, and the rest of the world for that matter.

Review: 2024 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i-S


Whenever a carmaker comes up with a new nameplate, it comes with the expectation that the overall experience would be new and transformative. Yet when Subaru decided to axe the “XV” name in favor of “Crosstrek,” the resulting crossover feels like it took two steps forward and two steps back. It continues the Subaru XV’s careful, and at times, painfully slow evolution. To be fair, the crossover formerly known as the XV, is hard to beat. Among its competitors—the beautiful Mazda CX-30 among them—the Crosstrek is the one we’d take in a heartbeat. It’s a bit boring, sure, but it’s just so well-attuned to our road conditions be it in design, packaging, and safety.

Review: 2024 Mazda CX-60 3.3 HEV Turbo-D Sport


The first-ever CX-60 is something Mazda must get right; after all, it’s representative of their premium aspirations. Though some may say that it started with the current Mazda3 and CX-30, those vehicles didn’t command much of a price premium over the competition to warrant raised eyebrows. The CX-60, on the other hand, nips at the heels of real luxury with its P 2.890-million price tag. This begs the question: did they get it right or will it serve as a reality check that’ll send them crashing down?

There's No Stopping Mazda Philippines' Move Upmarket


Mazda Philippines thinks it’s the right time for them to move to the “premium mainstream” space. With the introduction of the CX-60—their third “7G” model after the Mazda3 and CX-30, and the first riding on the Large Product Group platform, the Japanese brand says they’re ready to shake off their mainstream positioning.

2023 Mazda MX-5 RF: Long-Term Test Introduction


Remember that owner who gave me access to a 2023 Snowflake White Mazda MX-5 RF late last year? You know, the one with the Terracota interior? Well, I’ve got a confession to make: I’m that bastard. At the time, I felt prudent not to announce it all over the internet primarily because there was a supply shortage of MX-5s. But now that supplies have stabilized (more or less) and wait lists have shortened (more or less), it’s time for me to discuss ownership of the two-seater sportscar.

The Mazda CX-60 FR Platform Maximizes Human Potential


In a previous story, we tackled why Mazda opted for a large displacement, 6-cylinder engine in their first Large Product Group vehicle, the CX-60. Now, it’s time to discuss the matter regarding its architecture, particularly its front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.

Why Did Mazda Opt For A 3.3-liter Inline-6 In The CX-60?


When Mazda first unveiled the CX-60 SUV last year, some eyebrows were raised particularly when it comes to its engine. In a world of downsized four- or even three-cylinder engines, why did the carmaker opt to go for a 3.3-liter inline-6?
