Mazda cuts plug-in hybrid premium and revises pricing across large SUV range

Mazda Australia has revised pricing and specifications for its Large Architecture SUV range, reducing the premium for plug-in hybrid models while adding new standard equipment across the CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90 line-up.

The changes, which apply to 2026 model year vehicles, simplify the pricing structure by aligning the cost of the brand’s 3.3-litre turbocharged petrol and diesel six-cylinder powertrains across equivalent grades. Mazda says the move gives buyers greater flexibility to choose their preferred engine without a price penalty.

The biggest pricing adjustment applies to the CX-60 and CX-80 plug-in hybrids, with the P50e variants now priced just $5000 above their equivalent G40e petrol and D50e diesel models, making Mazda’s electrified options more accessible to buyers considering the large SUV range.

Equipment levels have also been enhanced. The CX-90 GT now comes standard with the Sports Appearance Package, replacing exterior chrome trim with gloss black finishes across the grille surround, bumper detailing, mirror caps, window mouldings, roof rails and exterior badging. Black 21-inch alloy wheels also become standard on the grade.

Mazda has expanded its active safety technology for the CX-60 and CX-90, adding Front Cross Traffic Brake and Cruising Traffic Support with Driver Emergency Assist as standard. Both models also gain Mazda Connected Services, bringing them into line with the CX-70 and CX-80.

The CX-60 also receives a minor cosmetic update, with Polymetal Grey Metallic replacing Sonic Silver Metallic in the colour palette. Exterior finishes for the CX-70 and CX-80 remain unchanged.

The CX-80 range has been broadened with the introduction of a new Pure grade powered by Mazda’s 3.3-litre e-Skyactiv D inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel. The engine incorporates the company’s 48-volt M Hybrid Boost system and offers buyers a more affordable entry point into the three-row SUV range.

Mazda Australia Managing Director Vinesh Bhindi said the updates were designed to strengthen the appeal of the company’s flagship SUVs by increasing value and making the range more attainable for Australian customers.
