Mazda CX-60 Common Problems Malaysia — KH
Mazda CX-60 KH (2022+): new platform — early ownership reports include 8-speed AT learning period (shift hesitation in first 5,000 km). 48V mild hybrid BSG belt inspection critical. Carbon buildup from 2.5T direct injection at 60,000–80,000 km. Higher running cost than CX-5 — turbo oil change spec strict at 10,000 km. Rear-wheel-drive biased: rear tyres wear faster than FWD Mazdas.
Mazda CX-60 Common Problems Malaysia
The CX-60 (KH, 2022+) is Mazda's newest FR-based platform SUV in Malaysia, using a 2.5L Skyactiv-G (194hp) with 8-speed automatic, or the PHEV variant (2.5L + electric motor). Direct injection means carbon concern from 60,000 km. Being new, long-term reliability data is still accumulating — PHEV high-voltage battery and new 8AT are the main unknowns.
Top Issues
- Carbon buildup at 60,000–80,000 km (2.5L Skyactiv-G direct injection)
- 8-speed AT fluid — service at 60,000 km; new unit, early data suggests sensitivity to fluid quality
- PHEV: high-voltage battery health monitoring — check battery cooling system annually
- FR platform: rear differential fluid (if AWD/RWD) — do not neglect at 60,000 km
