Having narrowed down my list of BMWs down to just one (iX1) – and that’s an EV, which both of us have reservations about getting – I called in to a Mazda dealership yesterday to look at the CX-60.
I don’t particularly like the styling of it, but it does look quite a big car. Oddly, the interior space didn’t feel any bigger than our BMW X1. It was the top spec model and I can’t say that I liked the cloth like dashboard trim and almost yellow wood like trim that adorns this model. The light leather was nice, but there’s a black band down the middle of the seats that has an odd effect on it that makes it look stained.
On a positive note, the seating position seemed no higher than our X1, so it may be OK for my wife to get in and out of (she wasn’t with me so I couldn’t confirm). Also, the interior quality, whilst not BMW standard, was far closer to it than most brands. If this is still on the list in Q2 I think it might be worth a proper look.
