What does Mazda EZ-6 promise?
The EZ-6 is offered with two different powertrain options, fully electric (BEV) and hybrid (EREV). The model is available in seven trim levels, with prices ranging from around $19,000 to $25,000.

The subscription system is becoming widespread in Mazda cars. Accordingly, the company has made some of its features paid.
Interior highlights include a 14.6-inch infotainment screen, digital instrument cluster and a 50-inch head-up display with augmented reality. Powered by a Qualcomm chip, it supports various connectivity features. There’s also a Sony audio system, reclining front seats and a panoramic sunroof.
The EZ-6 BEV version offers a range of 480 km and 600 km with a 190 kW rear engine and 56.1 or 68.8 kWh battery options, respectively. In the EREV model, a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a 160 kW electric motor combine to provide a range of up to 1301 km. Both versions can be charged from 30 percent to 80 percent in 15-20 minutes.
With the new EZ-6, equipped with advanced driving support systems at the L2.5 level, Mazda aims to expand its China-focused electric vehicle portfolio. It is unclear whether the vehicle will come to the global market.
