- Mazda debuts EZ-60 electric SUV in BEV and plug-in hybrid variants with up to 1,000 km range.
- Features include voice/gesture controls, a massive HD display, and smart parking.
- Built with Changan, it reflects Mazda’s focus on tech-forward electrified mobility in China.
The EZ-60 marks Mazda’s renewed commitment to the Chinese market through its ongoing collaboration with Changan. Offering both BEV and plug-in hybrid powertrains, the model boasts impressive range capabilities, making it competitive with domestic EV leaders.
While the EZ-6 sedan was the first co-developed model, the EZ-60 expands Mazda’s footprint in China’s rapidly evolving EV sector. This SUV caters to Chinese consumers‘ growing appetite for smart electric crossovers. Its large infotainment display and AI-enhanced driving experience distinguish it in a saturated market.
Mazda Doubles Down on China EV Market with Feature-Rich EZ-60 SUV
The EZ-60’s launch comes as Mazda seeks to revitalize its image in China, where sales have dipped amid growing local competition. Its BEV variant offers a strong 600 km range. Meanwhile, the plug-in hybrid surpasses 1,000 km, targeting range-anxious consumers.
Beyond performance, the EZ-60 brings digital innovation to the forefront. A 26.45-inch center display, virtual 3D head-up display, and AI-integrated voice/gesture controls create a futuristic user experience. This is tailored to China’s tech-savvy drivers.
The SUV’s bold styling is in line with Mazda’s updated design language, ensuring the brand’s signature driving appeal remains central. Its low stance and long wheelbase support stable dynamics and spacious interior packaging.
Mazda is not stopping with domestic ambitions; the EZ-6 is already headed to Europe as the Mazda 6e. The EZ-60 could follow if it garners strong market traction. It aims to expand Mazda’s global EV footprint while reinforcing its partnership with Changan.
The EZ-60 signals Mazda’s strategic pivot toward electrification and innovation. It aims to reclaim relevance in China’s fast-moving EV market through style, substance, and smart tech.
“We will challenge ourselves to break new ground for Mazda’s business in China with this new model in the highly competitive Chinese market.” — Masahiro Moro, CEO of Mazda
