Distinctive Mazda design “ingrained in Japanese heritage

The first-ever Mazda CX-60 will be making its world premiere on 8 March 2022.  This is the first model from the company’s Large Product Group to be released.

Mazda will debut its first plug-in hybrid with the CX-60 PHEV.

Mazda says the CX-60 PHEV demonstrates their commitment to a multi-solution approach to sustainable mobility and the principle of the right solution at the right time. It will be joined in the future by the CX-80 which will feature three rows of seating.

The CX-60 PHEV‘s styling is the latest development of Kodo, the Mazda design philosophy that breathes life into its cars, now combined with the Japanese concept of Ma, which is the calm and dignified beauty of empty space, inside the toughness of the striking new front-engine, rear-wheel-drive SUV.

According to Mazda, the designers have crafted an elegant, high-quality interior that combines both traditional methods and new technologies.

The CX-60 introduces for the first time the ideas of Kaichô, which Mazda says is the harmony that comes from mixing different materials and textures, including maple wood, nappa leather, Japanese textiles and chrome details, and Musubu, the uniquely Japanese way of binding textiles which was the inspiration for the instrument panel stitching.

How on earth to start this? I've been car/bike/truck crazy since I was a teen. Like John, I had the obligatory Countach poster on the wall. I guess I'm more officially into classic and muscle cars than anything else - I currently have a '65 Sunbeam Tiger that left the factory the same day as I left the hospital as a newborn with my mother. How could I not buy that car? In 2016 my wife and I drove across the USA in a brand-new Dodge Challenger, and then shipped it home. We did this again in 2019 in a 1990 Chev Corvette - you can read about that trip on DriveLife, and again in 2023 buying a C5 Corvette and shipping it home. I'm a driving instructor and an Observer for the Institute of Advanced Motorists - trying to do my bit to make our roads safer.
