Mazda Unveils its All-New Electric SUV, the EZ-60: A Competitor to Tesla Model Y and More
Mazda has revealed more intriguing details about its highly anticipated all-electric SUV, the EZ-60, which is set to rival the Tesla Model Y in the Chinese and global markets.
Official images and specifications of the Mazda EZ-60 have been released through data registered with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), showcasing several differences from the brand’s current electric vehicle offerings.
The Mazda EZ-60 has dimensions of 4,850 x 1,935 x 1,620 mm in length, width, and height, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2,902 mm. This positions the mid-size electric SUV larger than the Tesla Model Y in most aspects, comparable to the Zeekr 7X, another notable electric SUV from China.
One notable aspect is the EZ-60’s weight, which stands at a substantial 2,590 kg, surpassing the weights of many large pickup trucks such as the Ram 1500.
The EZ-60 is built on the EPA1 modular platform, which is also utilized by the Changan Deepal S07, a product of Mazda’s strategic partner in China.
The design of this mid-size SUV takes inspiration from the Arata concept car unveiled last year. While retaining Mazda’s distinctive DNA, the EZ-60 boasts a significantly more robust and modern appearance. The front of the vehicle impresses with its faux grille, distinctive LED daytime running lights, low-slung main headlights, and a prominent logo with LED backlighting.
Design elements such as the elongated hood, black roof, hidden door handles, and large floral-patterned alloy wheels contribute to the EZ-60’s elegant and sporty aesthetic. The rear of the vehicle is designed with simplicity and sophistication, featuring an L-shaped taillight bar seamlessly connected to the embossed “Mazda” lettering.
Additionally, the EZ-60 incorporates intelligent aerodynamic elements, such as air intakes at the front and a C-pillar that directs air flow to optimize efficiency and battery cooling.
Depending on the version, the EZ-60 can be equipped with traditional side-view mirrors or digital camera replacements. Mazda emphasizes these technologies to enhance aerodynamic efficiency and provide a more premium user experience.
While Mazda has not yet officially released interior images, spy shots of the vehicle reveal that the EZ-60 will feature a super-wide screen spanning the entire dashboard. This display is divided into three sections: a digital instrument cluster, a central touchscreen, and an entertainment screen for front passengers.
The Mazda EZ-60 will be offered with two powertrain options. While details about the pure electric version are yet to be announced, the hybrid variant utilizes a 1.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine as a generator to charge a 31.7 kWh battery pack. This powers an electric motor mounted on the rear axle, producing 255 horsepower.
Although exact figures for the EZ-60 hybrid’s range have not been disclosed, based on the Mazda EZ-6, which employs a similar powertrain, we can expect the EZ-60 to offer up to 160 km of pure electric range and a combined range of up to 1,300 km when charged by the gasoline engine.
In the Chinese market, the vehicle will retain the name Mazda EZ-60. However, in other international markets, it will be known as the Mazda CX-6e. Mazda is expected to debut this electric SUV globally at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, commencing on April 23.
As Mazda cautiously enters the era of electrification, the EZ-60 is poised to be a pivotal model in repositioning the brand within the mid-size electric SUV segment. This follows the MX-30, which fell short of expectations in the US market due to its high price and limited range.
