Mazda has taken a bold step to reposition its luxury SUV in the Australian market by cutting prices across the 2025 CX-60 range, improving driving dynamics, and introducing new trim levels. With a fresh entry price of $50,240 before on-road costs, the CX-60 becomes significantly more competitive, undercutting rivals while enhancing comfort and performance—key areas previously criticized by buyers and reviewers.
New Entry-Level G40e Pure Slashes Entry Price
The most headline-grabbing change is the introduction of the G40e Pure variant, which drops the entry price by $10,560. This model is powered by Mazda’s 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine (209kW/450Nm) paired with an eight-speed multi-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It returns a combined fuel consumption of 7.4L/100km.
This new variant undercuts the 2024 G40e Evolve by a wide margin, offering a more accessible price point for customers entering the premium SUV segment. Drive-away pricing stands at $53,990 in most states and $54,990 in WA, compared to $56,990 for the outgoing Evolve.
Suspension and Transmission Upgrades Address Ride Concerns
The 2025 CX-60 benefits from further suspension tuning in response to ongoing feedback. Mazda has implemented softer rear springs, firmer shock absorber settings, and recalibrated stability systems. These changes aim to improve ride comfort and vehicle handling balance, especially over uneven surfaces.
Transmission performance has also been refined. Mazda has adjusted the clutch control in its eight-speed gearbox, resulting in smoother and more responsive gear shifts—especially important during transitions between the petrol engine and mild-hybrid system.
Evolve, Touring and GT Grades Updated and Repriced
With the addition of the Pure grade, Mazda has shuffled its trim hierarchy and significantly reduced prices across the board. The G40e Evolve now starts at $55,240—$7,560 lower than before when factoring in the previously optional $2,000 Vision Technology package, which is now standard.
The Evolve gains several new features for 2025:
- 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster (now across all models)
- See-through 360-degree camera
- Cruising and Traffic Support (adaptive cruise control in traffic)
- Driver monitoring camera
- Front cross-traffic alert
To replace the Evolve with the former $4,000 Luxury Package, Mazda has introduced the Touring grade, which starts at $58,240 for the G40e petrol. Touring models add black leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats with memory, and more comfort-focused equipment.
GT and Azami Models Receive Price Cuts and Features
The G40e GT variant is now priced at $64,240—$6,560 less than before—while gaining Vision Technology as standard. Additional upgrades include 20-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a 12-speaker Bose premium sound system, and gloss black styling elements.
The flagship Azami grade is also more affordable, starting from $68,440 for the petrol variant, $70,440 for diesel, and $81,490 for the plug-in hybrid. It features black Nappa leather seats, ventilated front seats, ambient interior lighting, and additional exterior enhancements.
Two optional style packages are available for Azami:
- Takumi Package ($2000): Adds white Nappa leather, wood trims, and bright interior decor
- SP Package ($2000): Adds tan leather, suede dash, dark badging, and black exterior accents
