The Mazda 6e is 4,921 mm long with a wheelbase of 2,895 mm, and is built on the Changan EPA platform. Customers will be able to choose between two versions, and two equipment packages will be available in Europe.

The entry-level version is equipped with a 68.8 kWh battery that provides a range of up to 479 kilometers per WLTP cycle. Using a 200 kW DC charger, the battery is charged from 10 to 80 percent in 22 minutes, while a 15-minute charge is enough to cover 235 kilometers.

2025 Mazda EZ-6 coming to European market

At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, Mazda unveiled the electric successor to the Mazda 6, the Mazda EZ-6. It is an EV sedan that will be offered on the European market as a competitor to the BMW i4 and Tesla’s Model 3.

During the presentation, there was no word that the EZ-6 would be offered outside the Chinese market. However, Mazda recently entered into an agreement with Changan Mazda as the exclusive Chinese base for new energy research and development as well as production for the global market. This means that the EZ-6 will become Mazda’s first global new energy car. Also, there was a confirmation that the car will be sold in the Chinese and European markets from the fall of this year.

The Mazda EZ-6 is 4,921 mm long and has a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, making it a direct rival to models such as the Tesla Model 3, Polestar 2 and BMW i4, currently the most popular electric cars on the market. The EZ-6 is based on Changan’s modular EPA platform, which supports Level 4 autonomous driving. However, initially the EZ-6 will be limited to level 2 plus, which requires constant human supervision.

It was designed with a focus on the “jinba ittai” philosophy, which means that “the car and the driver are one.” It is equipped with a multilink suspension and a self-raising rear spoiler that ensures stability at high speeds, and has a weight distribution of 50:59. Inside, attention is drawn to the 14.6″ infotainment touchscreen, while the steering wheel features physical and haptic controls.

The car will be powered by a single electric motor with 221 hp (164 kW), and will have a range of 600 km. An extended-range version will also be available, with a range of around 1,200 km.
