Mazda XC60 six months in and nearly 3k milesto be honest we;re quite disappointed with Mazda’s so called flag ship as I see it brought out, unproven. Our’s has been in for 2 urgent DVLA recalls one of which took 3 hours with me in the showroom and after 2 and a half hours was offered a drink can’t compare that to BMW service department (previous car X1)
The good, love the car especially the colour Soul Red Crystal and it;s a head turner I was sat in Tesco’s car park chap really gave it the once over and I was still sat in it quite odd,
Entertainment is very good with wireless apple car play and Bose speakers.
The headup display is better than my BMW was,it’s almost twice the size.
Acceleration is rapid as you would expect with 323hp and AWD. Boot size is very good with 570 litres
The bad: The 39 mile electric range is a joke I’ve only ever managed 2.3 miles kwh
hopefully it will improve with the weather, fingers crossed.
In EV mode, the car is a little slow to pull away, while you can hear too much noise from the electric motors, and every so often there’ll be a pronounced lurch or thump from the transmission. Mazda’s premium rivals are streets ahead in this respect. .(taken from auto express) but very true, Seats we find ok if a little bit high getting in and out. The biggest problem though is the suspension I’d liken it to 1960s Land Rover leaf springs brilliant on smooth surface but not many left in this country!
So to sum up if you’ve any loose dentures or fillings I‘d steer clear of the CX60
If BMW X1 2.0 litre petrol comes back on I will return this and pay the £250 with pleasure
