Ortsmatt Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The Mazda CX-60 recently underwent the elk-test conducted by the renowned Swedish magazine "Vi Bilägare," which gained prominence for its involvement in the Mercedes A-class incident. Regrettably, the Mazda CX-60 did not pass the test. The left tyre had a near detachment, causing the rim to make contact with the asphalt surface. Currently, they are awaiting the arrival of a new set of tyres with criminal characteristics in order to conduct a further examination. Mazda has so far refrained from providing any response. The current ambiguity is in the presence or absence of the updated suspensions in the automobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorseaf Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I express strong criticism on the selection of vehicle tyres, lacking the necessary "extra loading" capacity peculiar to SUVs, PHEVs, or EVs, for the CX60. However, it is worth noting that the tyres used in the test are not original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tyres. The wheel is equipped with a 104W XL tyre, perhaps manufactured by Goodyear, but the CX60 is equipped with either Bridgestone, Toyo, or Yokohama (18-inch) tyres with a load index of 100W. Based on my own encounter with Mazda UK, it is evident that Mazda's level of transparency is comparable to that of dark, turbid water. Therefore, it is not unexpected that they refrained from providing any comments. Koni conducted a bench test on both the "old" and "new" dampers and determined that there is little disparity between them. However, it was observed that both dampers had inadequate stiffness to be appropriately paired with the spring weights, resulting in an incongruous riding experience.

Rashman4u Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Has the Elk tests achieved a 1-1 score so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br1anuk Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 It is my contention that the Swedish examination was conducted using a diesel vehicle, rather than the more substantial plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortsmatt Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Indeed, it is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashman4u Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) demonstrates a positive outcome, shown by the checkmark symbol, whereas the inline diesel vehicle does not meet the desired criteria, as indicated by the cross symbol.

Ortsmatt Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 The PHEV was tested by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashman4u Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 There exists a separate discussion thread known as the "moose test," whereby the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) successfully demonstrated its capabilities. Regrettably, I am unable to provide a hyperlink to this post due to my limited proficiency in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy47785 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 In this examination, the Mazda CX-60 equipped with Toyo tyres has a superior performance rating in comparison to comparable premium vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John278 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 It seems that a significant number of automobiles will not be equipped with turning capabilities in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
