In that context, the interior of the CX-60 is minimalistic, with interesting details on the fabric upholstery communicating the Japanese craftsmanship. High-quality materials including maple wood, Nappa leather, Japanese textiles on woven fabrics, and chrome details used for a premium look that is easily distinguished from rivals. Mazda also talked about “Musubu”, a technique of binding textiles that was the inspiration for the stitching around the instrument panel.
