Mazda CX-60

2025 Best Medium SUV over $40K

The Mazda CX-60 has made a lasting impression on Wheels Magazine, earning a key category win in the iconic brand’s 2025 awards.

Taking the title of ‘Best Medium SUV 2025 – Over $40,000’, the Mazda CX-60 was praised by judges, citing its ‘easy-to-use’ tech and switchgear that feels ‘great in the hand’, six-cylinder powertrains that are a ‘good bet’ and a ‘high quality cabin and fun handling make it a stand-out mid-size SUV at this price point.’

"When it came to judging Wheels Best Medium SUV 2025 - Over 40k, a standout soon emerged from the pack,” commented Andy Enright, Wheels Road Test Editor.

“The updated Mazda CX-60's combination of keener value and much-improved ride quality has seen it realise its potential. It's now a beautifully polished medium SUV that delivers on virtually every front."

Director of Sales and Marketing at Mazda Australia, Jarrod Gieschen, added: “This is a standout achievement in a hugely competitive segment. The 2025 CX-60 model range is the most compelling yet to the widest variety of customers – whether they’re interested in performance, efficiency, space or value for money – and having the validation of Wheels with this award is important recognition of this.”

The Mazda CX-60 is on sale now in Mazda dealerships nationwide. Four different powertrains are available – the inline six-cylinder G40e petrol and D50e diesel engine, P50e PHEV and the new G25 petrol – in combination with RWD (G25) or AWD.
