==Mazda vs CX-50 vs. CX-60

The Mazda CX-50 and CX-60 serve completely different markets: the CX-50 is a rugged, value-focused crossover built in Alabama for North American lifestyles. The CX-60 is a larger, premium, rear-wheel-drive SUV built for Europe and Australia, featuring longitudinal engines and plug-in hybrid options. 

Key Differences:

Market Availability: The CX-50 is available in the US and Canada. The CX-60 is not sold in the US (North America receives the wider CX-70 instead). 
Platform & Drivetrain: The CX-50 utilizes a front-wheel-drive-based, transverse engine layout with standard AWD. The CX-60 sits on Mazda’s new Large Product Group architecture with a rear-wheel-drive bias, offering mild-hybrid inline-6 engines and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) options.
Design & Purpose: The CX-50 features a longer, lower, and boxier stance tailored for outdoor adventures (including a higher 3,500 lbs towing capacity on turbo models). The CX-60 is more upscale, featuring a cab-rearward design and a luxurious, European-inspired interior.

Which One Should You Look For?

If you are located in the US, you can browse trims, current local inventory, and pricing for the CX-50 on the Mazda USA site. If you reside in Europe or Australia, you can explore the premium specifications and hybrid performance of the CX-60 on Mazda Australia or Mazda UK.

Frédéric Chopin - the only known photograph

Chopin's father was Nicolas Chopin, a Frenchman from Lorraine who had emigrated to Poland in 1787 at the age of sixteen and had served in Poland's National Guard during the Kościuszko Uprising. In France he had been baptised Nicolas but later, living in Poland, he used the Polish form of his given name, Mikołaj. He subsequently tutored children of the aristocracy, including the Skarbeks, whose poorer relative, Justyna Krzyżanowska, he married.
