## Why this model

The Mazda CX-60 is a relatively new entry to the premium SUV market, offering a stylish design and a powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain. It's Mazda's first PHEV, so it brings a good electric-only range for daily commutes and strong performance when the petrol engine kicks in. It feels more upmarket than previous Mazdas, aiming for a premium feel with a focus on driver engagement. While it's a newer model, Mazda's reputation for reliability is strong, which bodes well for its long-term ownership.

## What you should pay

Based on current UK market data (February 2026), a 2022 Mazda CX-60 Homura with around 30,000-45,000 miles should be around £24,992. Prices have softened across the used car market, so you might find some wiggle room, but the CX-60 holds its value reasonably well for a premium-leaning SUV. Entry-level Exclusive-Line models will be a bit cheaper, closer to £22,000-£23,000, while top-spec Takumi models could fetch £27,000-£28,000.

## Which trim to buy

The Homura trim is our top pick for value. It strikes a fantastic balance between luxury, sportiness, and price. You get those stylish 20-inch black alloy wheels, black exterior accents, and inside, it adds a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats, which are lovely perks. It feels significantly more premium than the Exclusive-Line without the higher price tag of the Takumi, which mostly adds Nappa leather and some unique interior finishes that aren't essential for most buyers.

## What to check before you buy

- Software glitches (infotainment, driver assistance)
- Firm ride on larger wheels
- Minor interior trim rattles

## Running costs

As a Plug-in Hybrid, running costs can be very low if you charge at home regularly. On a standard electricity tariff (around 30p/kWh), a full charge might cost £6-£7, giving you around 30-35 miles of electric range. With a smart tariff like Octopus Go or Intelligent Octopus (around 9-15p/kWh overnight), this drops significantly to £2-£3 for a full charge. For longer journeys, when the battery is depleted, you'll be running on petrol, achieving around 40-50 mpg. Road tax for EVs and PHEVs registered before April 2025 is currently free, but from April 2025, it will be £195 per year. Insurance costs will vary but expect it to be moderate for a premium SUV.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Plug-in Hybrid
- **Horsepower**: 323 hp
- **Mpg**: 188 mpg (WLTP combined, real-world closer to 40-50 mpg once battery is depleted)
- **Reliability Score**: 4/5
- **Safety Rating**: 5-star Euro NCAP (2022)

## Trim comparison

| Trim | Price new | Price used | Key features |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Exclusive-Line | £45,500 | £22,500 | 18-inch alloy wheels; LED headlights; 12.3-inch infotainment screen |
| Homura | £49,000 | £24,992 | 20-inch black alloy wheels; Black exterior styling elements; Heated steering wheel |
| Takumi | £52,000 | £27,500 | 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels; Nappa leather upholstery; Unique interior trim accents |

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £24,992 | 100% |
| 2027 | £21,243 | 85% |
| 2028 | £18,744 | 75% |
| 2029 | £16,995 | 68% |
| 2030 | £14,995 | 60% |

The CX-60 is still quite new, so buying a 2022 model in 2026 means you're getting it after its initial steep depreciation hit. This is a good sweet spot as you benefit from a relatively modern car with advanced tech, but at a significantly reduced price compared to new. While it will continue to depreciate, the steepest part of the curve is behind it.

Total value lost since new: 40%.
