2026 Mazda CX-60 gets major PHEV price cut in Australia 

Mazda has made a series of updates to the 2026 Mazda CX-60 in Australia, with the biggest change being a significant price reduction for its plug-in hybrid variants. The Mazda CX-60 P50e PHEV is now $7150 cheaper across the range than it was at the start of 2026. At the same time, Mazda has adjusted pricing for the petrol and diesel versions and added several safety and connectivity features as standard.

The updated CX-60 continues to be offered with four powertrains, including a four-cylinder petrol, six-cylinder turbo-petrol, six-cylinder turbo-diesel and four-cylinder plug-in hybrid.

2026 Mazda CX-60 price in Australia

The 2026 Mazda CX-60 price now starts at $45,640 before on-road costs for the G25 Pure RWD. The six-cylinder petrol and diesel versions now cost the same in equivalent grades. This removes the previous $2000 premium attached to the diesel. The P50e plug-in hybrid is also now only $5000 more expensive than its six-cylinder equivalent.

The G25 petrol variants have increased by $900, while the D50e diesel variants are $1100 cheaper. The P50e PHEV variants have received the largest adjustment, dropping by $7150.

That makes the CX-60 P50e Pure AWD the most notable price change in the updated range, now starting at $56,640 before on-road costs.

More safety technology is now standard

Mazda has also expanded the standard safety equipment across the CX-60 range in Australia. All variants now receive Front Cross-Traffic Alert and Cruising and Traffic Support, features that were previously restricted to the Evolve grade and above.Driver Emergency Assist has also been added as standard equipment. 

The Mazda CX-60 already has a five-star ANCAP safety rating based on Euro NCAP testing conducted in 2022. Its safety-assist score was 77 per cent, alongside scores of 91 per cent for adult occupant protection, 93 per cent for child occupant protection and 89 per cent for vulnerable road-user protection.

Standard safety equipment includes autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition and a reversing camera. The Evolve grade and above also gain additional equipment, including a surround-view monitor with a see-through view.

Mazda Connected Services added across the range

Another significant update for the 2026 Mazda CX-60 is the introduction of Mazda Connected Services as standard across all grades. The system uses an embedded eSIM and connects with the MyMazda smartphone app. Available functions include:

• Emergency SOS calling
• Vehicle location
• Vehicle status monitoring
• Geofencing
• Curfew notifications
• Stolen vehicle assistance

This brings the CX-60 in line with Mazda’s larger CX-70 and CX-80 SUVs, which already offered connected services in Australia.

Four powertrains continue

There are no major changes to the Mazda CX-60’s core powertrain line-up. The range continues with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol, 3.3-litre turbo-petrol six-cylinder, 3.3-litre turbo-diesel six-cylinder and 2.5-litre four-cylinder plug-in hybrid.

All variants use an eight-speed automatic transmission. The P50e combines its petrol engine with a 100kW/250Nm electric motor and a 17.8kWh battery. Mazda quotes a 76km electric driving range on the NEDC test cycle and a claimed combined fuel consumption figure of 2.1L/100km.

The PHEV is also the quickest version of the CX-60 on paper, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 5.8 seconds. The G40e petrol takes 6.9 seconds, while the D50e diesel takes 7.3 seconds.

What else has changed?

The Mazda CX-60 now gets Polymetal Grey Metallic as a new exterior colour, replacing Sonic Silver Metallic as the no-cost paint option. Eight exterior colours are available across the range, although four carry a $995 premium. The CX-60 continues to offer five grades: Pure, Evolve, Touring, GT and Azami.

Depending on the variant, standard equipment includes wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite navigation, a head-up display, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, and DAB+ digital radio.

Higher grades add features such as a panoramic sunroof, adaptive LED headlights, Bose audio, Nappa leather upholstery and ventilated front seats.

Mazda CX-60 warranty and servicing

The Mazda CX-60 in Australia comes with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty. The high-voltage battery in the P50e is covered by an eight-year or 160,000km warranty.

Scheduled servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first, while capped-price servicing is available for seven years. For the P50e, the average annual capped-price servicing cost is listed at $578.57, with the total seven-year capped-price servicing cost coming to $4050.

What does the updated Mazda CX-60 mean for Australian buyers?

The latest changes make the Mazda CX-60 PHEV considerably more competitive on price than before, while the diesel also becomes cheaper. The biggest shift is the $7150 reduction across the P50e range. Combined with the newly standard safety technology and Mazda Connected Services, the CX-60 now offers more equipment while asking less for its plug-in hybrid variants.

The conventional petrol and diesel models remain available for buyers who do not want to move to a plug-in hybrid. The six-cylinder petrol continues to offer the most power at 209kW, while the diesel produces the most torque at 550Nm. For Australian buyers considering a premium mid-sized SUV, the updated 2026 Mazda CX-60 therefore continues to cover a fairly broad range of needs, from the rear-wheel-drive four-cylinder petrol to the performance-focused six-cylinder models and the more efficient P50e plug-in hybrid.
