Mazda officially launched the Mazda EZ-6 on October 26, introducing a new mid-size sedan built on Changan‘s EPA hybrid platform. With a lineup of seven models, prices range from 139,800 to 179,800 yuan (approximately 19,630 to 25,250 USD). The EZ-6 offers both fully electric (BEV) and range-extended (EREV) versions.
The EZ-6 follows Mazda’s “Kodo” design language, featuring split headlights, LED daytime running lights, and an illuminated Mazda logo. Two new colors, “moon grey” and “radiant gold,” use nano-grade pigments to enhance its appearance.
Viewed from the side, the EZ-6 has a fastback silhouette and a ducktail spoiler that deploys above 90 kph, designed to aid aerodynamics. Measuring 4,921 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,485 mm in height, with a 2,895 mm wheelbase, the EZ-6 provides more space compared to Deepal’s SL03 and L07 models.
The EZ-6 includes a 14.6-inch infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, and a 50-inch AR heads-up display (AR-HUD). The cabin is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chipset, which integrates climate, seat adjustments, and entertainment functions. Additional features include 13 ambient scene modes, a 64-color lighting system, a 14-speaker Sony audio system, and reclining front seats. A non-opening panoramic sunroof and four-zone voice activation are also available.
Mazda has mounted the drive selector on the steering column, freeing space on the center console, which includes two wireless phone charging slots.
The EV version has a 190 kW rear motor and two battery options: a 56.1 kWh pack for a 480 km CLTC range and a 68.8 kWh pack for a 600 km range. Both lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries charge from 30% to 80% in 15 minutes.
The EREV version includes a 1.5L JL473QJ engine generating 70 kW, paired with a 160 kW electric motor. Two battery configurations offer electric ranges of 130 km or 200 km and a maximum combined range of 1,301 km. It charges 30% to 80% in 20 minutes, supporting varied travel needs.
Mazda includes L2.5 driver assistance with adaptive cruise control, remote parking, and over 150 parking scenarios for daily driving. Mazda also announced plans to release another NEV model in 2025, expanding its electric vehicle lineup.
Here is our review of the Mazda EZ-6 from last week’s Sunday China Drive.
“built on Changan‘s EPA hybrid platform”…there is that name again Changan…..Anyone want to be t this has battery swap capabilities.
So when will they be available in the States?
Japan’s technology (mx30): 130km
China’s technology: 600km
Incomplete comparison:
Mazda MX30 EREV = 1778 Kg = 35.5 kWh (200 km) + 830cc wankel engine 55 kW
Mazda EZ-6 EREV = 1820 Kg = ¿? kWh (200 km) + 1500cc otto engine 70 kW
A rare Japanese-Chinese EV collaboration – cheap-but-great. But here’s the zillion dollar/euro question: Will this price-crushing collaboration enable the EZ-6 EV and other future Mazda-China or Japanese-Chinese EVs to avoid the US’s outrageous 100% and the EU’s 38% anti-China, anti-cheap import tariffs ?
Such a nice looking car from the inside and outside.
I hope to see it it soon on the roads in europe.
Hi can I get one I’m in Kenya
No you can’t
Hell no
We can only dream of these prices!
“Two battery configurations offer electric ranges of 130 km or 200 km and a maximum combined range of 1,301 km. It charges 30% to 80% in 20 minutes, supporting varied travel needs.”. I just shake my head in wonder that the Chinese “get” what kind of battery range people want in a PHEV! How can the carmakers in the rest of the world not arrive at same conclusion and design these kinds of cars?
