Year after year, the SUV segment continues to lead the market.
Its consolidation has made manufacturers put all their efforts into presenting models with their own personality to differentiate themselves from the competition.
Mazda, aware of this, returns stomping with the
CX-60, the brand's new flagship
that stands out for its
design, quality, elegance
and, especially, its extensive
technology
and extensive list of
driving assistants
.
A declaration of intent to position the Japanese SUV as the rival to beat.
i-Activsense, Mazda's commitment to safety
The Japanese manufacturer has always been a benchmark in safety and the
Mazda CX-60
ups the ante thanks to the
high endowment of i-Activsense safety technologies
that it incorporates.
The
intersection assistant
, the
rear pedestrian detection
, the
emergency lane keeping
, the
intelligent speed assistant
and the
help function when leaving the cabin
, which detects vehicles approaching from behind, are a clear example.
Another example is the
360° view monitor
, which uses a set of four cameras to cover all sides of the vehicle.
The main novelty that it introduces is an image on the screen that simulates the view through the front and rear corners of the car from the driver's point of view.
It is perfect for detecting obstacles that are hidden by the body of the vehicle itself and helps the driver to be fully aware of the surrounding conditions when driving at low speeds through narrow spaces.
Mazda has also focused on
passive safety
, studying and analyzing different situations to protect not only the vehicle itself, but also the vehicles and occupants with which a collision may occur or, without going any further, improve the protection of a pedestrian or cyclist in the event of being run over.
With all this, through innovative technologies and different solutions, Mazda has improved
protection against frontal, side and rear collisions
.
How?
Redesigning the hood and front bumper to reduce damage in the event of a hit.
High voltage protection
measures have also been applied
to protect the occupants of vehicles with plug-in hybrid technology from the risk of electric shock.
An interior packed with technology
The interior of the
Mazda CX-60
stands out for the presence of
two high-resolution 12.3-inch screens
, one in the instrument panel and the other in the center console, which offer all the information to the occupants in a clear and simple way.
The
multimedia system is compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay
(without cables).
Both screens are perfectly complemented by a large
Head Up Display
, larger than that of other Mazda models.
The brand seeks to thereby reduce unnecessary eye movements, providing easier communication with the driver.
An outstanding novelty in the Japanese SUV is the incorporation of
the Driver Recognition System
.
Through facial recognition, the vehicle fulfills three functions: automatic guidance of the position behind the wheel, automatic reset of settings and assistance to enter and exit the vehicle.
Through a camera, the Mazda CX-60 is capable of detecting by itself the position of the driver's eyes and other data, such as his height, to estimate his complexion.
It then
automatically adjusts the seat, steering wheel, Head Up Display and exterior mirrors to the driver's position
.
The system is capable of saving the preferences of up to
six different drivers
and more than
250 settings
, such as air conditioning or sound.
In addition, the SUV moves the steering wheel and seat to make it easier to get in and out of it.
Five driving modes
The technology of the CX-60 is also reflected in the dynamics.
An example is the
Mazda Intelligent Drive (Mi-Drive)
selector , which allows you to choose between
five different driving modes (Normal, Sport, Off-Road, Towing and EV)
.
With them, the SUV covers different driving situations and optimizes parameters such as grip, performance or maneuverability, among others.
Normal
.
The balance between consumption, performance and ride comfort.
Sports
.
Improve dynamic performance with a sportier engine response or increase grip to improve stability.
Off Road
.
It enhances traction to improve behavior on uneven surfaces.
It even offers an off-road traction assist to help the driver free the vehicle if it gets stuck.
Towing
.
Torque delivery characteristics to all four wheels are readjusted to accommodate increased weight.
Mazda advises using it if towing a trailer, as it improves straight-line stability;
if a bicycle carrier is mounted or in case of carrying a box on the roof.
EV
.
It allows to circulate only with the electric motor.
It is only available with the PHEV engine.
The Mazda CX-60 also incorporates
Kinematic Posture Control (KPC)
technology , which reduces loss of grip and helps make cornering safer.
By applying light braking to the inside rear wheel when cornering, body roll is reduced.
