<\/a><\/p>\nSecond Mazda model from joint venture with China’s Changan is an electric CX-60 alternative<\/p>\n
The new\u00a0Mazda<\/a> EZ-60 SUV will be sold with a choice of battery-electric and range-extender powertrains, with the latter offering a combined range of more than 621 miles.<\/p>\n The new model, which may come to the UK as an electric counterpart to the\u00a0CX-60<\/a>, was recently revealed in China but details were withheld for its debut at the Shanghai motor show<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mazda has now confirmed that the new model was developed in collaboration with its Chinese joint-venture partner, Changan, in a similar fashion to the previous Mazda 6e<\/a> saloon.<\/p>\n Based on the same underpinnings as the Changan Deepal SUV \u2013 a Tesla Model Y<\/a> rival due in the UK later this year \u2013 it will be offered solely with rear-wheel drive, regardless of the chosen powertrain.<\/p>\n The range-extender uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine as a generator for a 31.7kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery supplied by CATL, which drives a single, 255bhp motor. This delivers an electric-only range of 100 miles, according to China’s more lenient CLTC test cycle. It also has a\u00a050:50 weight distribution front to rear, which matches\u00a0that of the brand’s halo product, the MX-5<\/a> sports car<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a further reference to the MX-5, Mazda said the EZ-60\u00a0has been tuned to offer the same ‘Jinba-ittai’ \u2013 “the sense of horse and rider as one” \u2013 driving experience as the roadster.<\/p>\n Detailed specifications for the battery-electric model remain under wraps but Mazda confirmed that it will offer a range of around 373 miles on CLTC, and a weight distribution of 47:53. For reference, the Changan S07\u00a0packs an 80kWh battery and a 214bhp rear-mounted motor, delivering a range of 295 miles on the European WLTP test cycle. It can charge at 93kW, giving a 30-80% recharge in 35 minutes.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Mazda 6e\u00a0gets a 254bhp motor and a battery pack of the same capacity, yielding 345 miles between charges.<\/p>\n The EZ-60 also draws on the new design language introduced with the saloon, with thin LED daytime-running lights mounted high on the fascia above smaller main-beam headlights. The lower portion of the grille is outlined with LED lighting.<\/p>\n It is notably more angular than the 6e, however, with a prominent chin spoiler on the front bumper and a pronounced shoulder line.<\/p>\n Inside, a 26.45in infotainment screen spans most of the width of the dashboard\u00a0and a head-up display is projected in front of the driver to show critical information, such as range and speed. The car forgoes conventional side mirrors for rear-view cameras, for which screens are mounted on the doors, under the A-pillars.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mazda has yet to officially confirm whether the EZ-60 will be sold\u00a0the UK, but it would give the brand a much-needed boost in its electric car sales, and in one of the most popular classes of car. The company confirmed UK launch plans for the saloon earlier this year.<\/p>\n The Japanese brand previously said it would follow the 6e with a new electric SUV developed independently of Changan, using batteries designed in collaboration with Panasonic. This\u00a0new model, due around the same time as the next iteration of the combustion-engined Mazda CX-5<\/a>, will also be assembled in Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62166,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-featured","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Mazda](\"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mazda-ez-60-the-high-tech-electric-suv-redefining-range-and-performance-1.jpg\")
