Available with a pure battery electric powertrain or as an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), the EZ-6 is co-developed with Changan Automobile, and uses the same EPA platform used by the Deepal L07 liftback. The EZ-6 is available in the European market as the Mazda 6e. [1] [2]

Overview

The EZ-6 was introduced at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2024. [3] It went on sale in mid-2024 with an option of battery electric powertrain and extended-range EV (EREV). [4] [5] [6]

It was codeveloped by teams at Changan-Mazda's Nanjing R&D center, Mazda's HQ in Hiroshima Japan, and Mazda Europe to meet each region's product preferences. According to Mazda, the vehicle has a low-drag Kodo design language and offers an electrified version of Mazda's Jinba-Ittai handling philosophy. [7]

The battery electric model has an estimated electric range of 600 km (373 mi) under CLTC standards. It is claimed to have a 50-50 weight distribution. [8]

The EZ-6 is equipped with a 14.6-inch central screen, powered with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip to integrate the control of air conditioning, seats, entertainment and other functions. It is also equipped with a 14-speaker Sony sound system, 64-color ambient lighting, front "zero-gravity" seats, a 50-inch AR head-up display (AR-HUD), and a glass roof. [9] The interior is available in Chestnut Brown or Egret White. [7]
