Mazda has officially unveiled the Mazda EZ-6, launching a new midsize sedan based on the Changan EPA hybrid platform. Buyers are offered all-electric versions (BEV) and models with an extended range (EREV).
The Mazda EZ-6 is made in Mazda’s signature Kodo design. The car is offered with split headlights, LED running lights and an illuminated Mazda logo. The two new color options – «Moonlight Gray» and «Shining Gold» – contain nanopigments to enhance the appearance.
The car has a fastback shape on the side and a spoiler that extends at speeds above 90 km/h to improve aerodynamics. The dimensions of the car are 4921 mm in length, 1890 mm in width, 1485 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2895 mm.
The Mazda EZ-6 is equipped with a 14.6-inch infotainment system screen, a digital instrument cluster and a 50-inch AR-HUD. The system is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor, which controls the climate, seat settings, and entertainment. Additionally, 13 lighting modes, a 64-color backlight system, a Sony audio system with 14 speakers, adjustable front seats, a panoramic roof, and voice control in four zones are available. The gear selector is mounted on the steering column. This made it possible to free up space on the center console, which includes two slots for wireless phone charging.
The electric vehicle has a single 190 kW motor on the rear axle and two battery options: 56.1 kWh with a 480 km range (CLTC) and 68.8 kWh with a 600 km range. Fast charging allows you to restore half the charge (from 30% to 80%) in 15 minutes.
The EREV version uses a 1.5-liter JL473QJ 70 kW engine combined with a 150 kW electric motor. The two battery options provide an electric range of 130 km or 200 km, with a maximum combined range of 1,301 km. Charging from 30% to 80% takes 20 minutes.
Mazda has equipped the car with an L2.5 driver assistance system with adaptive cruise control, remote parking, and more than 150 scenarios for daily travel. The company has announced plans to launch another electric vehicle model in 2025 to expand its range.
In total, the Mazda EZ-6 lineup consists of seven versions with prices ranging from $19630 to $25250.
