Discover Mazda’s 2026 CX-60 facelift—new Zircon Sand Metallic paint, real‑leather upholstery, enhanced cabin quietness, and Alexa voice control. Learn more now!
Mazda is gearing up for a mid‑cycle refresh of its flagship large‑size SUVs, the CX‑60 and CX‑80. The company plans to unveil the upgraded models in Japan in March 2026, with local dealers already taking pre‑orders.
Why the CX‑60 Upgrade Matters
Although the CX‑60 has not yet launched in Vietnam, the vehicle has already turned heads at a emissions‑testing centre in Hanoi and at the new Mazda showroom in Ho Chi Minh City back in December 2025. The upcoming refresh promises to boost the model’s appeal across the region.
Key Design Changes
- New standard colour: The exclusive Zircon Sand Metallic shade moves from a premium option to a standard colour across the range.
- Additional palette: A sophisticated Polymetal Gray Metallic is added, while the previously offered Sonic Silver Metallic is discontinued.
- Trim updates: The XD‑Hybrid Trekker variant is expected to be phased out, streamlining the lineup.
These colour tweaks are aimed at attracting outdoor‑oriented buyers who appreciate a rugged yet refined look.
Enhanced Comfort and Quietness
One of the most praised upgrades is an improved cabin sound‑insulation package. The new acoustic materials reduce road noise, delivering a quieter, more serene driving experience—an attribute that many owners rank highly.
Premium Interior Options
For the limited‑edition XD Drive Edition, Mazda expands the Nappa Leather Package with an optional Burgundy‑coloured real‑leather seat option. The deep, rich hue adds a touch of luxury while maintaining the brand’s signature understated elegance.
Tech Boost: Built‑In Amazon Alexa
The facelift introduces Amazon Alexa integration directly into the infotainment system. Drivers can now control navigation, media, climate settings and even smart‑home devices using voice commands, reducing the need to take their hands off the wheel.
What This Means for Vietnam
It remains unclear whether the refreshed specifications will be applied to the first CX‑60 units planned for the Vietnamese market. Nonetheless, Mazda’s proactive approach signals careful preparation ahead of the launch of the next‑generation CX‑5, which is set to become the brand’s next flagship.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Mazda CX‑60 facelift and its eventual arrival in Vietnam and other international markets.
