Mazda EZ-60: First details about electric SUV revealed
The first technical details about the electric version of the Mazda EZ-60 — expected to be called CX-6e in Europe and other export markets — have been revealed in China. Details submitted by Mazda to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) as part of the car's certification process have published by Car News China. Unveiled at the Shanghai motor show at the end of April, the EZ-60 will go on sale in China later this year. It could be a breakout hit for the brand as it has already garnered 20,000 refundable deposits. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.

The EZ-60 will be available as a pure electric vehicle (EV) with a 190kW motor driving the rear wheels, and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery of unknown capacity. The same 190kW electric motor is used in the EREV version, and it is solely responsible for driving the wheels. Under the bonnet there's a 72kW 1.5-litre petrol engine that recharges the battery when it runs low, or at the driver's behest. A smaller 31.73kWh LFP battery is used in this model, and is said to have a 160km electric-only driving range under the generous CLTC testing standard. The EZ-60 is 4850mm long, 1935mm wide, 1620mm tall, and rides on a 2902mm wheelbase. This means it sits somewhere between the 4.74m CX-60 and 5.0m CX-80 in terms of length, and is 45mm wider than both. Boot space is rated at 350 litres with the rear seats, and grows to 2036L when they're folded down. The EZ-60 EV also has a 126L storage area under the bonnet — a "frunk" if you will, or maybe a "froot" for us. On the inside there's a huge 26.45-inch 5K display serving as the infotainment touchscreen, as well as a display for the front passenger. Interestingly there's a head up display in place of a more traditional instrumentation screen. Co-developed with state-owned automaker Changan, the EZ-60 will be built at their joint venture factory. The EZ-60 rides on Changan's EPA1 architecture, which underpins various models from Changan and Deepal, including the S07 SUV that went on sale in Australia at the end of 2024. The same architecture is also used in the Mazda EZ-6 sedan, which will be sold in Europe as the Mazda 6e and is an electrified, rear-wheel drive successor to the departed 6. The 6e has been confirmed for sale in the UK, a right-hand drive market like Australia. There's no word yet if the EZ-60 will be sold on the Continent and the UK, but reports indicate it will happen and the car will be rebadged as the CX-6e. Neither the 6e/EZ-6 or the EZ-60/CX-6e have been confirmed for Australia. The last electric vehicle sold in Australia by Mazda was the quirky MX-30 SUV, which featured reverse-hinged rear doors and cork interior trim.

Mazda EZ-60 Captures the Chinese Market's Attention
Mazda's new EZ-60 midsize SUV has sparked strong early interest in China, securing 10,060 pre-orders within 48 hours of its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. These pre-orders come through a low-commitment deposit model, where buyers placed a symbolic 10 yuan ($1.40 USD) deposit that builds daily credit applicable to a future purchase under specific conditions. While not yet binding, the rush of interest hints at strong market potential. Developed in collaboration with Changan, the EZ-60 shares its EPA platform with Changan's Deepal S07 and is offered in two electrified versions. So far, only the specifications for the range-extended model have been detailed. It combines a 72 kW, 1.5-liter gasoline engine—used exclusively as a generator—with a 190 kW (255 hp) electric motor and a 31.73 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery, offering up to 160 km of electric-only driving. Details on the full battery-electric version remain limited, but initial figures suggest competitive performance. Mazda's approach inside the EZ-60 embraces a digital-first philosophy. The centerpiece is a massive 26.45-inch 5K ultra-wide display that merges the instrument cluster, infotainment, and climate controls into one sleek interface. Physical buttons have been largely replaced with touch and voice commands, while rear passengers get their own touchscreens for managing comfort and media options. An optional 23-speaker Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 sound system adds a premium audio experience. Interior flexibility was a clear priority. The EZ-60 offers 350 liters of standard cargo space, expandable to a massive 2,036 liters when the rear seats are folded down. The fully electric version adds a 126-liter front trunk, while various small compartments throughout the cabin boost everyday practicality. On the outside, the EZ-60 stretches 4,850 mm long, 1,935 mm wide, and 1,620 mm tall, with a 2,902 mm wheelbase. The styling features sleek LED daytime running lights, a smooth, closed-off front grille, and a sharply angled rear window capped by a full-width taillight strip for a modern, aerodynamic look. Safety and technology are also a strong focus. The SUV comes standard with nine airbags and an L2-level driver assistance suite, supported by five high-definition cameras, five millimeter-wave radars, and twelve ultrasonic sensors. Battery safety, developed in partnership with CATL and CALB, includes eight layers of protection and is designed to exceed China's 2026 regulatory benchmarks. According to Changan Mazda, the EZ-60 is on track for an official market launch in August. With two additional co-developed EVs in the pipeline, this strong early reception could mark an important comeback for Mazda in China's fiercely competitive electric vehicle market. Whether this initial momentum can be sustained through full-scale production remains to be seen — but all signs so far are promising.
