Mazda may have the reputation of a middling brand, but it aspires to be considered among the premium manufacturers.

In terms of the quality of its cars, it may have a point that it deserves to be in contention.

Most of its models look good, have well-refined engines, lovely interiors and handle well.

Unlike many other automakers, though, Mazda does things differently.

It still offers unusually big engines, given that anything above 2.0 litres and four cylinders is becoming increasingly rare, and it still uses diesel engines at a time when many manufacturers are shying away from them.

Although its mid-size SUV, the CX-60, has only been around since 2022, it's already the winner of several awards, including several ‘Best Large SUV’ accolades.

Speaking of size, it was the biggest Mazda car offered in the UK until very recently, when the newly launched CX-80 took that title.

Alongside the launch of the new bigger sibling, the CX-60 has had a makeover. It offers a revised suspension setup that Mazda claims will offer better handling while also improving ride comfort.

Equipment and trim levels have been revised, along with some interior tweaks, although the powertrains remain the same.

So, is this revised recipe any good? We have taken a CX-60 for a test drive to find out.
