Mazda CX-60 review - Reliability & safety

The Mazda CX-60 hasn’t appeared in our Driver Power customer satisfaction surveys, but Mazda owners as a whole seem happy. The brand came in an impressive seventh place out of 32 manufacturers in the 2024 edition, with buyers praising its cars’ user-friendly controls which have a good balance of physical and virtual buttons. They also think its cars are good value, have good safety features, look great and are of a high build quality.

Mazda CX-60 reliability

While we have yet to hear of any specific horror stories, despite Mazda owners largely praising their cars’ reliability, the percentage of them who reported issues with their car within the first year was 25% in 2024, which is marginally higher than average. It’s possible these were minor glitches that were easily sorted, however.

Safety

Euro NCAP awarded the CX-60 its five-star rating following crash-testing, with a particularly strong score of 91% in the child occupant category. Adult and pedestrian safety also both received high scores, with only the safety assist category slightly disappointing with a score of 76%. Although with blind-spot monitoring, speed limit assists, autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition and lane-keeping assistance there is still plenty of safety tech included. The optional Driver Assistance pack adds even more safety features and allows the car to almost drive itself on a motorway or dual carriageway.
