Hello from Bulgaria, guys!

I'm expecting to receive mine CX-60 Homura, 3.3 diesel, 254hp in March (ordered in August 2022) and I will appreciate if some of you, who is already enjoying his CX-60 diesel can share experience, problems, consumption (I seen in Japanese forums are talking about less than 5.0 l/100km for 254hp engine, 4x4 which sounds crazy!!!), pros & cons and other thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for welcoming me and for the nice words!
I’m a big Mazda fan and for the past 10 years had a chance to purchase 3 brand new Mazda 6 my self, 1 Mazda CX-3 for my wife and another CX-3 for my mother. I guess that makes me “sick fan” :) :)
When CX-60 was announced I got in contact with the dealer and was lucky to be amongst the first one who tested the car in Bulgaria. The PHEV has impressive torque and power, but I am a long distance traveler and I make 45-50k km per year, so I knew plug in is not for me. So I waited for the 3.3 diesel to be launched for sale and I was one of the first in Bulgaria to order the car. Actually none of the diesel engines has landed in Bulgaria to date, so most probably in March, when I expect to receive mine, there will be few only on the Bulgarian roads.
I read in the Japanese forums and saw on YouTube that people who are already enjoying the 3.3 diesel are sharing insane staff like almost 4.4l/100km consumption.
I am really interested to hear all the info from guys who are running CX-60 diesel.
Thanks and good luck to everyone!

Hope that Mazda have collected enough data to overcome the software and suspension problems. Also believe that the gearbox will work smoothly with the diesel engine, compared to the PHEV. Today I visited my dealer for a short coffee break and he showed me one additional isolation rubber seal that is missing at the rear doors of CX-60 and is available at CX-5, which I definitely will put in place on my CX-60.

lol...but Its barely costing me anything and the small cost will be recouped within a year ;) but i may also be dissapointed, I agree but I won't be 'as' disappointed' as the PHEV, so it works out well for me to move. However, I am going to be seeing some Alfa Dealers when the new 2023 Stelvio Competizone is released in a week or so's time...if I get a good discount, I may go for one of them.

Better looking but the 2.0 diesel wont be a touch on the 3.3 6 cylinder diesel

Then we have an all-knowing specialist on the field again 🤡
You do.

Ive watched that video a few times with auto translate on. It dosent do a great job, so I can't get too much information from the video.

What did you take from the video?

I did capture these comments on the video comments section about the PHEV, similar to what we have been complaining about here..

'm having a lot of fun watching it. Everyone is kind... I support Hidepon's activities behind the scenes. Black organization, don't make your users hate you. It's only been about two weeks since I switched from Atenza to 60 (Jet Black), but it's impossible that the professionals didn't notice the problem that amateurs notice immediately after getting on it, and I can only think that the black organization was aware of it but turned a blind eye and decided to sell it. I think black organizations should recognize that if they don't take improvements seriously, users who buy 60 will never come back, which is such a serious problem. The introduction is long, but the black organization wants the following improvement!!! ・ The jerky feeling at low speed is really terrible. It's not a smooth hybrid. Improvement of cooperative control of engine, motor and transmission is required.  I wonder why you don't have motor assist at the beginning of running in the first place... ・ There is no response to the center of the handle, whether it is a toe angle, caster angle, or power steering seasoning, and the cut handle does not return naturally to the center, so it is difficult to run straight in a straight line. Am I the only one who feels bad about Naoyasu because of this? (I think there is also a problem with the design philosophy regarding this...) ・ A complete stop from coasting becomes a cuckun brake. If you stop while carefully loosening the brakes, the engine will start and jerk this time, so I want you to be able to stop smoothly. ・ When driving at a constant speed of around 10 km in a traffic jam, the engine noise? echoes quite a bit in the car, and the floor vibration is amazing. I would like you to take some measures such as motor assist or raising one gear. ・ When performing steering assist at high speed, if there are cars running side by side, it will move closer and closer to the right or left. ・When driving in the city or on roads with many cars, i-ACTIVSENSE sensor abnormalities (described as strong electromagnetic waves in the monitor information) frequently occur. Do you need to review the radar alarm threshold settings? ・Wireless charging is completely useless. It doesn't charge well, but the smartphone has a bonus that heats up a lot. Moreover, you should not connect your smartphone to USB. ・ Even if it is set to position light, if there is speed, the normal light will turn on. It may be a time limit, so I want you to allow position light even if there is speed. ・Too much noise. The transmission "bokot", the engine "brun", the undercarriage "squeak" and "rustling". Long sentence, excuse me ('◇')ゞ

Thanks for this, I can't believe how much the guy talks..I mean, he fitted in 100 words a minute for nearly half an hour 😅

Some serious miles per gallon figures coming out there, remarkable engineering from Mazda on that engine. He didn't really tell us much else though, so my search continues for some opinions over in car engine noise.

Amazing, thank you for posting!

Quieter than the PHEV ICE on tickover, and less strangled sounding on full chant.

Little noiser from the outside but that dosent bother me. Awesome.

German Youtuber managed 3,6 l/100k over the ~200 km they've driven. They also mention in the Video that they didn't take any special measures, Mazda also filled the tanks to the absolut brim before and after with shaking the car. They also Mention, the Italians managed 3,2 l/100k, but they weren't sure if the DPF regenerated on their run.

Max. 80 km/h on the Spanish Highway, lots of serpentines through the mountains and a little bit of city driving.
They also mention that the drive line and chassis is miles ahead of the PHEV and way more harmonious, albeit being still very stiff and hard.

First day of diesel test 200KM behind me (150km). Rav4 hybrid user experience:
  • the suspension is hard but rather to get used to, I did not notice excessive bumping or any creaking
  • the gearbox works smoothly and quietly
  • i-stop and sailing compared to the smoothness of the Toyota hybrid a little irritating. You can feel and hear the engine turning on, maybe not like in the old start / stop systems, but still. Fortunately, you can turn it off with a button.
  • the sound of the engine is great, quite quiet when driving calmly, piercing bass when accelerating hard. Compared to, for example, the BMW X6 30d which I recently drove much more resonant and sporty. It can be irritating in the long run, but it makes a huge impression!
  • fuel consumption at 140km/h - 8.5l, at 110km/h - 7l. It's hard to say around the city because I tested acceleration and sounds :)
  • very reliable driving on the road, you don't feel high speeds like in the rav4 and it's definitely quieter, especially less noise from the mirrors
  • acceleration at speeds above 80km/h could be better, so the additional 54HP will be useful in the 4x4 version.
  • seats in the back less than in the rav4
  • the trunk is the same
  • always on from the start, the system informing about leaving the lane unnecessarily sometimes beeps. It's a pity that it can't be turned on only on request like in rav4
  • the same automatic high beam always on after starting.

To sum up, I will probably decide to change, there is a WOW effect despite a few minuses.
Tomorrow the second part of the test...
