Auto China 2024: Mazda reveals EZ-6 EV

MANILA: Mazda has revealed the EZ6 electric vehicle (EV) at Auto China 2024.

According to the Chinese arm of the Japanese car brand, the Mazda EZ-6 is the first of a series of new energy vehicles (NEV) developed and manufactured by Changan Mazda in cooperation with Mazda and Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd.

It combines Mazda’s Kodo-Soul of Motion design language and the signature Jinba-ittai (car and driver as one) driving performance with Changan’s advanced and smart EV technology.

Two versions of the Mazda EZ-6 will be available, a battery electric vehicle (BEV) and a plug-in hybrid electrified vehicle (PHEV). They are expected to be launched in China by the end of the year.

“We are delighted to introduce the all-new NEV developed in alliance with Mazda and Changan Automobile. The Mazda EZ-6 is the latest electrified vehicle that combines Mazda's strengths with Changan Automobile's electrified technology. Going forward, Mazda will continue to work with Changan Automobile to turn Mazda’s China business around by introducing its unique products that meet the needs of Chinese customers who prefer advanced vehicles,” Mazda President and Chief Executive Officer Masahiro Moro said.
