Overview

The Mazda Arata Concept revealed at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show previewed the EZ-60. [2]

The EZ-60 name was confirmed via a teaser posted onto Mazda's Weibo account on March 31, 2025. [3] It was revealed at Auto Shanghai 2025 in April. [4] The EZ-60 was officially launched on September 26, 2025. There are 3 battery electric and 3 range extended variants, each named Base, Pro, and Max regardless of powertrain. [5]

The EZ-60 is one of two battery electric vehicles produced jointly by Mazda and Changan, with the other model being the EZ-6. The model uses the EPA1 platform which is also used by the EZ-6.

The exterior follows Mazda's Kodo design language features a body color painted grill, a contrasting black-painted roof, and optional digital side mirrors. [6] It features 9 air vents, including air curtains and slotted D-pillars, which Mazda claims reduces drag by 60.8 counts allowing for 41 km (25 mi) of additional range and generates 705 N (71.9 kgf; 158 lbf) of downforce at highway speeds. [7]

The dashboard features a 5K-resolution 26.45-inch wide display that serves as both the infotainment screen and passenger entertainment display, and has few physical controls. It has a 100-inch 3D AR-HUD and an optional 23-speaker 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos surround sound system. [6] The optional digital side view mirrors are shown on door-mounted displays flanking the dashboard. [7]

The rear cargo area measures 350 litres (12.4 cu ft), which expands to 2,036 litres (71.9 cu ft) when the rear seats are folded down, and supplemented by a 126-litre (4.4 cu ft) frunk exclusive to EV models. [6]

The chassis consists of seven horizontal and five vertical beams, 86.5% of which is composed of high-strength steel, including 2,000 MPa hot-stamped steel crash structure and 1,470 MPa cold-rolled steel used in the roof. It is equipped with nine airbags as standard, and the battery pack meets China's updated 2026 crash safety requirements. [7]

The EZ-60 has an ADAS sensor suite consisting of five mmWave radars, five high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, enabling standard L2 assisted driving features including automatic emergency braking from up to 80 km/h (50 mph). [6] [7]

Powertrain

The EZ-60 uses the same powertrain as the Deepal S07, which has the option to use a 175 kW (235 hp; 238 PS) electric motor for the EV. The range extender models pair a 1.5-liter JL473QJ engine serving as a generator with a 190 kW (255 hp; 258 PS) motor with power supplied by a 31.73 kWh LFP battery pack. [6] The electric motor is placed at the rear for both EV and EREV models.
