Mazda CX-60 SUV

Mazda has always been very underrated.

It is usually regarded as being in the mid-pack behind the likes of Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

But this is unfair, as some of its models give the premium brands a terrific run for their money.

You don't need to look very far, either, as the MX-5 sports car has been consistently one of the very best motors in its class for years.

And, while the RX-8 had its faults, its Wankel rotary engine was unique at the time. Mazda also won its category at Le Mans in 1991 with a rotary-engine car.

As you can see, Mazda is undoubtedly not a manufacturer that has been afraid to think outside the box.

If anything, to those in the know, it’s made its name doing things differently –sometimes to significant effect.

And now it's gone and done it again in its midsize SUV, the CX-60.
