The Mazda 6e, known in China as the Mazda EZ-6,[1][2] is a mid-size sedan (D-segment) produced by Mazda through its joint venture, Changan Mazda in China since 2024. Available with a pure battery electric powertrain or as an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), the 6e is co-developed with Changan Automobile, and uses the same EPA platform used by the Deepal L07 liftback.
Overview
The model was introduced at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2024 as the EZ-6.[3] It went on sale in mid-2024 with an option of battery electric powertrain and extended-range EV (EREV).[4][5][6] The battery electric model has an estimated electric range of 600 km (373 mi) under CLTC standards. It is claimed to have a 50-50 weight distribution.[7]
The 6e/EZ-6 was codeveloped by teams at Changan-Mazda's Nanjing R&D center, Mazda's HQ in Hiroshima Japan, and Mazda Europe to meet each region's product preferences. According to Mazda, the vehicle has a low-drag Kodo design language and offers an electrified version of Mazda's Jinba-Ittai handling philosophy.[8]
The 6e is equipped with a 14.6-inch central screen, powered with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip to integrate the control of air conditioning, seats, entertainment and other functions. It is also equipped with a 14-speaker Sony sound system, 64-color ambient lighting, front "zero-gravity" seats, a 50-inch AR head-up display (AR-HUD), and a glass roof.[9] The interior is available in Chestnut Brown or Egret White.[8]
