COLOGNE: The tease continues as Mazda gets set to launch the CX-60 PHEV in Europe on March 8.
In the latest revelation, Mazda said the PHEV would come with a new shade of white body colour designed to highlight its beauty through contrasting light and shadow.
The PHEV, represents the latest development of the company’s unique Kodo design philosophy.
The personality of the CX-60 comes from its proportions, revealing its front-engine, rear-wheel drive character.
The exterior design is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic principle of "less is more" and the concept of Ma – the calm and dignified beauty of empty space, creating a car that is subtle yet radiates a confident appearance.
Seen in profile, a bold flow of light coming from the roof end to the rear fender sweeps down like a strong line written by a Japanese calligraphy brush and plants the car firmly on the ground.
This, combined with the front opening shoulder line, creates the subtle movement on the side of the car that reflects the environment in a unique yet simple way, bringing the car to life.
Mazda also claims the CX-60 interior would be a totally new experience for drivers and passengers.
The CX-60 introduces for the first time the ideas of Kaichô, the harmony which comes from mixing different materials and textures, including maple wood, nappa leather, Japanese textiles and chrome details, and Musubu, the uniquely Japanese way of binding textiles which was the inspiration for the instrument panel stitching.
The CX-60 is expected to have in excess of 300hp.
