Frequently asked questions
Which Mazda CX-60 engine is the most reliable?
3.3 e-Skyactiv-D (inline-6 diesel) — Maint. Sensitive verdict. The 3.3 e-Skyactiv-D (a big new inline-six diesel with 48V mild-hybrid — bucking the downsizing trend) is a genuinely interesting, refined and very economical engine for its size and power, with Mazda's clever low-compression, distribution-controlled combustion. It's rear-biased/AWD and tows well. As a brand-new design the cautions are its novelty (limited long-term data) and the modern-diesel essentials: DPF on short trips, AdBlue/SCR, and the 48V system; some early CX-60s also drew criticism for a jerky 8-speed clutchless automatic (software-improved). A serviced car driven for the miles is promising; buy on software updates and DPF history, and test the transmission for the early jerkiness.
