The Mazda CX-60 and Mazda CX-80 ranges will see a comprehensive package of upgrades when the 2026 model year cars arrive next summer. These updates reinforce the position of both as Mazda’s flagship offerings in the premium SUV segment.

While the elegant exterior styling of both models remains unchanged, Exclusive-Line grade cars now feature new 20-inch alloy wheel designs. Replacing the outgoing 18-inch wheel, the new wheels are metallic silver on CX-60 and bright silver on CX-80, with both designs enhancing overall appearance. Across all models, Mazda’s popular Polymetal Grey paint colour is added to the CX-60 and CX-80 for the first time.

Inside, the enhanced 2026 CX-60 and 2026 CX-80 feature high-quality materials such as real maple wood, Nappa leather and Japanese textiles working in perfect harmony. Each model remains a true expression of Mazda’s crafted approach and its enduring Crafted in Japan spirit. New for the 2026 model year, the Mazda CX-60 and CX-80 Homura and Homura Plus variants now offer a stylish tan interior with quilted Nappa leather seats, a two-tone leather steering wheel, and a suede-look dashboard while across all trim grades onboard refinement levels are boosted by the fitment of noise-insulating glass to the front doors.

Reinforcing their Euro NCAP 5-star rating, the active safety technology tally on the Mazda CX-60 and CX-80 is further increased with all 2026 Mazda CX-60 and CX-80 models now featuring Driver Emergency Assist (DEA). Working with Driver Monitoring, DEA detects sudden medical emergencies, takes control, slows the vehicle, and brings it to a safe stop. Once stationary it automatically unlocks the doors to allow emergency responders quick access.

In addition, the 2026 CX-60 now features a suite of safety and driver assistance technologies first introduced on the flagship CX-80. The CX-60’s Driver Monitoring system now comes as standard, along with key safety features such as Smart Brake Support Head-on collision mitigation and Emergency Lane Keeping Head-on Traffic Avoidance Assist. Starting from the Exclusive-Line grade, it also includes Smart Brake Support Front Crossing with Front Cross Traffic Alert and Front Cross Traffic Braking, along with the Towing Hitch Guide function. These enhancements strengthen its comprehensive safety package, while additional technologies – including Cruising & Traffic Support with Unresponsive Driver Support and Smart Brake Support Rear Crossing – are also available.

Day-to-day driver convenience takes a step forward with the introduction of Amazon Alexa5 in-car voice recognition, allowing natural voice control for navigation, entertainment, and connected features. The CX-60 also gains a hybrid navigation system offering alternative route calculations, point-of-interest search, and seven years of free map updates.

As well as meeting the Euro6e-bis emission standards, the diesel-powered CX-60 and CX-80 models are now approved for the use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil 100 (HVO 100) fuel, with the choice of this biofuel underlining Mazda’s ongoing commitment to sustainability through the adoption of cleaner, renewable fuel options.

The enhanced 2026 Mazda CX-60 and 2026 Mazda CX-80 line-up reaffirms Mazda’s continued commitment to creating sophisticated SUVs that blend performance and comfort with elegance and class-leading style.
