Reliability

The CX-60 has a strong reputation for reliability, with its diesel engine known for durability if well-maintained. However, like many modern diesels, it requires attention to the fuel system and regular servicing to avoid issues with injectors and the turbocharger.

Maintenance

Routine maintenance is crucial, with service intervals recommended every 10,000 km. The automatic transmission requires regular fluid changes to maintain smooth operation. While service costs are moderate, the complexity of the diesel engine may necessitate visits to specialized mechanics or authorized service centers.

Parts availability

Parts for the CX-60 are available through Mazda's authorized service network in Kenya, but some components may be sourced from Nairobi's Kirinyaga Road or through importers. Diesel-specific parts like injectors and turbos can be pricier and less common.

Fuel economy

The diesel engine in the CX-60 is generally frugal, especially on highways where it excels in fuel efficiency. However, in Nairobi's stop-and-go traffic, expect a slightly higher consumption typical of diesel engines in urban settings.
