Mazda has unveiled the EZ-60, a new all-electric and partially electrified crossover SUV, at Auto Shanghai. The model is set to launch later this year in China and will subsequently be introduced to European markets under the name Mazda CX-6e.
Positioned in the mid-size segment, the EZ-60 is expected to achieve a range of approximately 600 kilometres under the Chinese test cycle, although Changan Mazda noted that this figure remains provisional. While detailed technical specifications for the EZ-60 have not been released, the vehicle shares many features with its sister model, the Changan Deepal S07, which recently debuted in Europe.

Built on Changanās EPA1 platform, the EZ-60 is equipped with a 2.9-metre wheelbase, a rear-axle-mounted electric motor delivering either 160 or 190 kW, and an 80 kWh battery pack. In China, a range extender version will also be offered.
The design of the EZ-60 features a sleek and elongated SUV silhouette, narrow LED daytime running lights, retractable door handles, and cameras replacing traditional side mirrors. The front end incorporates a distinct light signature. Inside, the cabin is equipped with a 26.45-inch central screen, a virtual head-up display, and advanced intelligent functions such as voice and gesture control, as well as remote-controlled parking.

āIn addition to the Mazda EZ-6, which was launched in the Chinese market last year and received positive feedback, we will challenge ourselves to break new ground for Mazdaās business in China with this new model in the highly competitive Chinese market,ā said Masahiro Moro, President and CEO of Mazda Motor Corporation.
While the EZ-60 is confirmed to arrive in Europe as the Mazda CX-6e, specific launch dates and further details have not yet been announced. The EZ-6 took approximately a year to transition from its Chinese to European market introduction, suggesting a similar timeline could be anticipated for the new model.
