This time , I created a comparison table with ” Harrier PHV ” which uses “SUV” and “PHEV” . The “ CX-60 PHEV ” has a longer length, width and wheelbase, but it can be said that it is almost the same size. However , since the CX-60 is rear-wheel drive, the minimum turning radius is set at -0.1mm, which is 5.4m compared to other models. Both companies have different stances, and the ” CX-60 PHEV ” is considered whether it can run quickly and comfortably, and 0-100km/h acceleration is the fastest among the two models. It is faster than Porsche’s SUV normal “Cayenne” normal “Macan”. And finally, the price is about 700,000 to 870,000 yen cheaper. When compared in terms of cost performance, there is a winner, but if you consider the difference in interior texture, you may not feel the difference as a premium model.
