The all-new Mazda EZ-60 electric SUV breaks cover at 2025 Auto Shanghai

The all-new Mazda EZ-60 was unveiled at the 2025 Auto Shanghai by Changan Mazda Motor Corporation, the joint venture between Mazda and Chongqing Changan Automobile. It is the second NEV developed and manufactured by Changan Mazda through collaboration with Mazda and Changan Automobile. Planned to go on sale in China in 2025, this new model will expand Mazda’s electric vehicle lineup in the Chinese market.

The Mazda EZ-60 is a crossover SUV, available in electric vehicle (BEV) and the plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) models. It sports elegant and modern styling, Jinba-Ittai driving performance that makes everyday driving fun, and smart features that make life inside and outside the vehicle seamless. The design theme is “FUTURE + SOUL x MODERN.” Mazda’s pursuit for elegant styling is combined with modern forms that evoke a new lifestyle image. Air passageways at the tip of the hood and other points create a futuristic impression and contribute to excellent aerodynamic characteristics and improved power consumption efficiency at high speeds.

The Mazda EZ-60 features a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution, strut suspension at the front and multi-link suspension at the rear, and electronically controlled dampers that can respond to a variety of driving situations to provide Jinba-ittai driving – a sense of horse and rider as one. The driving range is expected to be around 600 km for the BEV model.

Smart features that enhance safety and convenience include the smart cabin that can be operated by voice, touch, or gesture; the intelligent drive to help the driver avoid an accident or reduce damage; and the intelligent parking that can be operated by voice even from outside the vehicle. Equipped with a 26.45-inch 5K integrated flat-panel center display and a virtual 3D heads-up display. Information and visuals displayed prominently in front of the driver support safety and security while providing a futuristic driving experience. A powerful and realistic sound experience is delivered through 23 speakers and a 3D sound system. In addition, the headrest speakers allow the driver and front passenger to listen to different music.
