Presented to the automotive media in great secret in Frankfurt ahead of today’s reveal, the CX-60 is sensibly priced. Over in Germany, where the plug-in four is the standard powertrain, customers are charged €47,390 or $51,815 at current exchange rates. Brits, on the other hand, will have to pony up £43,950 or $57,695 for the most fuel-efficient variant currently available.

German customers are offered four trim levels in total: Prime-Line, Exclusive-Line, Homura, and Takumi. €52,890 is the suggested retail price of the latter. Over in the United Kingdom, the Japanese automaker decided on three grades: Exclusive-Line, Homura, and Takumi. Officially dubbed e-Skyactiv PHEV, this version of the CX-60 boasts 63 kilometers (39 miles) of combined all-electric range on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure. Fuel economy is estimated at 1.5 liters per 100 kilometers (188 miles per gallon in the United Kingdom or 157 miles per gallon in the United States).

Mazda further quotes an electric-only top speed of 140 kilometers per hour (87 miles per hour) while the PHEV top speed is 200 kilometers per hour (124 miles per hour). Step on the accelerator as hard as possible, and the CX-60 e-Skyactiv PHEV may hit 100 kph (62 mph) in 5.8 seconds.

As the name implies, the four-cylinder powertrain combines a direct-injected mill with a displacement of 2.5 liters with a 100-kW electric motor and a 17.8-kWh battery. The free-breathing engine and electric motor collectively make 327 ps (323 horsepower) and 500 Nm (369 pound-feet).

Later this year, Mazda will diversify the lineup with the e-Skyactiv X straight-six turbo engine (3.0-liter mild-hybrid) and the SkyActiv D straight-six turbo diesel (3.3-liter mild-hybrid). Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission shared with the e-SkyActiv PHEV presented in this story.
