Mazda’s previous entry into the EV space, the quirky MX-30, struggled with just 200 km of range, but the all-new Mazda EZ-60 is here to maybe rewrite the script. With over 400km of expected range, a massive 26.45-inch 5K screen, and a 1.5L range-extender option, this sleek SUV could finally make Mazda a real EV contender.

Officially filed with China’s MIIT and set to launch in August 2025, the Mazda EZ-60 has already racked up 20,000+ pre-orders, thanks to a clever deposit scheme. Here’s everything we know so far—straight from the official filings of CarNewsChina.

Key highlights at a glance

  • Two powertrains: Pure EV (BEV) or range-extended EREV
  • 190kW RWD motor (same as Mazda 6e sedan)
  • LFP battery (cost-efficient, long-life)
  • 26.45-inch 5K “floating” display
  • 160 km EREV electric range (CLTC) / BEV range TBA
  • Frunk (126L) + 2,036L max cargo space
  • Pre-orders open in China (from just 10 yuan / $1.40) 

Is its design Mazda’s boldest look yet?

Inspired by the Mazda Arata Concept, the Mazda EZ-60 blends futuristic styling with aggressive detailing. Up front, it features a hidden grille outlined by a full-width daytime running light (DRL), flanked by split LED headlights. The rear end continues the sharp aesthetic with a connected LED taillight bar and bold “MAZDA” branding.

Interior: Tech-forward and comfort-focused

Inside the Mazda EZ-60, you get a massive 26.45-inch 5K floating touchscreen, which merges infotainment and driving displays into one seamless panel. The dashboard is clean, with a dual-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, column-mounted gear selector, and button-style door releases.

Interior highlights:

  • Zero-gravity front seats with:
    • Ventilation
    • Heating
    • Massage
    • Integrated headrest speakers
  • Floating centre console with:
    • Wireless charging
    • Under-console storage
  • Head-up display (replacing traditional dials)

Everything about the cabin feels modern, minimal, and upscale.

Manufacturing and platform

The Mazda EZ-60 is being built at a Changan-Mazda joint plant in China, and is heavily based on the Mazda EZ-6 sedan, which could eventually be sold internationally as the Mazda 6e. The shared EPA1 platform promises flexibility, shared parts, and reduced development costs.

What is the launch timeline and pricing?

The Mazda EZ-60 will first hit the Chinese market in August 2025, where it’s expected to compete with models like the Changan Deepal S07 and Avatr 07.

Estimated Price Range (China):

  • 150,000 – 300,000 yuan
  • Equivalent to $20,800 – $41,600 USD ($31,200 – $62,400 AUD)

Mazda has reportedly received over 20,000 pre-orders. Interested buyers in China can reserve their EZ-60 with a refundable 10 yuan (approx. $1.40 USD or $2.10 AUD) deposit via the Changan Mazda website or local dealerships. What’s unique is that the deposit increases in value daily and is fully deducted from the final price, creating a clever incentive for early adopters.

What about global markets?

Although Mazda hasn’t officially confirmed an international launch, the EZ-60 could eventually make its way to other markets under a different nameplate—possibly the Mazda CX-6e–in Europe and beyond. Australian availability remains unconfirmed, but it’s certainly a model to watch as Mazda expands its electrified portfolio.

Final thoughts

The Mazda EZ-60 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting EV releases of 2025. With its futuristic design, flexible powertrain options, and feature-rich interior, it’s clear that Mazda is serious about electrification.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on further updates as the August launch nears.
