2026 Mazda CX-60 and CX-80: smarter safety, HVO-ready diesels, richer cabins

Discover the 2026 Mazda CX-60 and CX-80 refresh: new emergency stop for fatigued drivers, HVO 100-ready diesels, upgraded cabins, Alexa nav, EU sales.

Mazda has unveiled refreshed versions of the CX-60 and CX-80 for the 2026 model year, focusing the updates on equipment, safety tech, and a more polished cabin. The changes land where buyers notice them most, without straying from the cars’ established character.

The headline addition is an emergency stop system that, when it detects signs of driver fatigue, issues a warning and, if needed, brings the vehicle to a halt. It’s a timely safeguard that takes some strain out of long stints behind the wheel.

Diesel variants are now certified to run on HVO 100 biofuel, produced from reprocessed vegetable oils and food waste. This move can substantially cut CO2 emissions and offers a practical route to cleaner running for those who stick with diesel.

Inside, there’s new light-brown nappa trim and a two-tone steering wheel. In the range-topping Homura and Homura Plus trims, navigation blends online and offline modes, and Alexa voice control is included—a useful mix when connectivity is patchy and hands-free commands matter.

Sales in Europe are already open, with first deliveries slated for February 2026. The CX-60 starts at €50,950, while the CX-80 is priced from €57,550. Taken together, the blend of technology, design, and efficiency positions both crossovers to stand among 2026’s most compelling choices.
