Japanese automaker #Mazda has commenced production of its first electric sedan, the EZ-6, featuring an impressive design.
Equipped with a CATL-produced LFP battery offering a 600 km range on a single charge, a 258 horsepower rear-wheel drive motor, and OTA update capability for its in-car control hardware, the vehicle was developed on the EPA platform by Mazda’s Chinese production partner #Changan Auto.
Manufactured at Changan Auto’s factory in Nanjing, the Mazda EZ-6 will be available in both fully electric and range-extended versions and will soon be officially launched for sale.
Mazda aims to survive in Europe with a promising electrification plan that includes both plug-in hybrid and fully electric models. Considered the electric version of the Mazda6, the EZ-6 is actually the sibling of Changan Auto’s Deepal SL03.
Mazda is also working on an electric sedan project for Europe, planning to use the ‘SkyActive Scalable EV Architecture’ platform for the model tentatively named the 6e.
