2023 Mazda CX-60 review: Is the new hybrid, petrol or diesel family SUV really a BMW X3 rival?

The 2023 Mazda CX-60 is finally available in Australia, and it's looking to change the way the Japanese brand is perceived Down Under. Of course, Mazda's been moving upmarket for years now, but the CX-60 is the model that really pushes it into the premium market.

As such, the all-new mid-size SUV finds itself going tyre to tyre with the BMW X3, Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, among others, all off the back of a new rear-wheel-drive platform with inline six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, as well as a plug-in hybrid powertrain based around a four-cylinder unit.

So, in this expert review, CarsGuide Journalist Tom White attends the CX-60's national media launch to assess just how well it rises to the German Big Three challenge. After all, it really does have to impress if it's to be taken seriously at this price point.
