Mazda has broadened drive-away deals across more of its CX-60 and CX-80 ranges, offering discounts of almost $10,000 as it attempts to lure more buyers into its premium-pitched SUVs.
Drive-away deals were already in place on the once entry-level CX-60 G40e Pure ($53,990 d/a)and CX-80 G40e Pure ($59,990 d/a), but the latter has now had a further $3000 shaved off to lower the seven-seater's entry price to $56,990 drive-away.
They’ve been joined by the new rear-drive CX-60 G25 Pure, powered by a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, which has lowered the entry point into the five-seater range to $47,990 drive-away.
There are also savings to be had across the entire CX-60 and CX-80 ranges.
The CX-60 G40e GT with Vision Package is now listed at $67,990 (d/a) and the CX-80 G40e GT at $72,990 (d/a) – savings of around $2000.
Until now, the plug-in hybrid variants have all carried substantial price premiums of $13,050 and $11,050 over the equivalent petrols and diesels respectively.
The new drive-away pricing has shrunk this gap dramatically to around $3000 depending on the variant, with buyers now able to purchase the P50e Pure from $59,990 drive-away, while the range-topping Azami can be had for $85,990 – less than its $87,450 plus on-road costs list price.
Mazda’s premium push has faced a few hurdles. There have been substantial price cuts – at launch the cheapest CX-60 was the G40e Evolve at $59,800 plus on-road costs – new lower-specification variants and mechanical revisions in response to criticism of the ride quality and transmission refinement.
Nevertheless, 4067 CX-60s and 2963 CX-80s have been sold this year ending September.
Include another 278 CX-70s and 547 CX-90s, and Mazda’s new SUV quartet is on track for around 10,000 annual sales, and that’s before factoring in the new cheaper CX-60 G25 variants, which are likely to be volume sellers.
At their peak, the Mazda CX-8 and CX-9 combined for around 12,000 sales per annum.
That means the new CX models are on track to successfully replace the lost volume by the discontinuation of the popular seven-seat duo – while also offering loyal Mazda customers a more premium alternative to the brand’s traditional SUV line-up.
A Mazda Australia spokesperson told carsales the drive-away deals were primarily intended to bring the PHEV variants in line with the rest of the range in the wake of the Fringe Benefits Tax exemption ending for plug-in hybrids.
