==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.
