Anyone got one? About to press the button and thought I'd ask. Reviews seem mixed as always one reviewer hates this another reviewers loves the same attribute.
Can't test drove so interested in finding out real world opinions...

Remote order through our company car portal. Local dealership doesn't have one

They'll be some reviews on YT i'd expect.
One of my Swedish customers funnily enough told me that they're very popular in Sweden. He has one and they're very roomy and good in the snow. Apparently, pound for pound (Krona for Krona) they offer much more in terms of features and build than their German rivals.

I really like the look of these.
We have CX5 and its been great, I'm sure these will be much the same just a big step up in every way.
That inline 6 will be lovely and bet they don't half shift.
Not sure what lexus offer as an alternative, imagine they do something similar but maybe different price point.
In my experience the Japanese stuff is much better than any of the German stuff for reliability and ownership experience.

Had a sit in one last year, they are very well put together cars and I'll be going for one when the time is right (or CX80). It's just as comfy and well specd as German and Swedish Cars (having had BMW and Volvo). Not sure the inline 6 is with the PHEV though, that's on the 2.2L 4 pot, the 6 has the unstressed 3.3 but bags of torque.
The detractors are moaning about the small battery range, but that's the whole point of them and what makes them an overall better package than a BEV.

I've had a CX5 and currently a CX30. Build quality on both has been very good as has reliability. Do not send the blood pumping but are very nice places to sit.

I've one supposedly arriving at end of month. Looks like most of our company fleet will be CX60's at this rate!
Price increases removed BMW/Volvo/Audi from our company car list... Luckily I like Mazda's 
Colleagues who already have theirs seem really impressed so far. They're pretty quick and boot is reasonably large. Back seat space is the only slight drawback given the sheer size of the things!!!
They're also a 'proper' four wheel drive (with a rear wheel bias) i.e the electric motor drives through a shared gearbox rather than electric motors driving the rear wheels and a petrol motor driving the front. Which means a 2500kg tow limit which is pretty good for a PHEV. Tow bar is an expensive option though...
