Mazda Unveils All-Electric EZ-60 SUV with Competitive Performance and Advanced Tech
Mazda’s new all-electric mid-size SUV, the EZ-60, has appeared in China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) database, unveiling its key specifications ahead of an expected launch in late August. Developed in partnership with Changan, the sleek new model will be available in two versions: a pure electric vehicle (EV) and a range-extender electric vehicle (EREV).
The EZ-60 is positioned between the CX-60 and CX-80 in Mazda’s SUV range, competing with vehicles like the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 6. Built on the EPA platform, the production EZ-60 mirrors the bold styling of Mazda’s Arata Concept. Its futuristic front end features a hidden grille flanked by split-type LED headlights and a dramatic full-width LED daytime running light strip.
Measuring 4850 mm long, 1935 mm wide, and 1620 mm tall, with a 2,902 mm wheelbase, the EZ-60 is a roomy five-seater. Buyers can choose between 19- or 21-inch alloy wheels and various customization options. Inside, the EZ-60 boasts a tech-forward, minimalist cabin anchored by a massive 26.45-inch 5K floating touchscreen.
The EV version features a 190 kW (255 hp) electric motor powered by a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. The EREV version uses the same motor but adds a 1.5L petrol-powered generator and a 31.73 kWh battery, offering up to 160km of electric-only range. Mazda promises competitive all-electric performance and a combined driving range of over 1000 km for the EREV models under the CLTC lab-test standard.
With 20,000 pre-orders already logged in China, pricing for the EZ-60 is expected to fall between 150,000 and 300,000 yuan (A$32,164–$64,330). The new EZ-60 represents Mazda’s push into the electric vehicle market with advanced technology and competitive performance.
