Mazda reveals new EZ-60

This is Mazda's new mid-size electric car. It's called the EZ-60 in its native China, but when it makes its way to the UK, it'll likely be called the CX-6e.

Essentially an electric alternative to the Mazda CX-60, the EZ-60 shares its underpinnings with a Chinese-brand car called the Changan Deepal S07, which itself is due to reach UK shores later this year. It'll be a rival for cars like the Tesla Model Y, the Ford Capri and the Audi Q4 E-tron.

The Chinese connection is because the car was primarily designed for the Chinese market, but Mazda has decided to bring it to Europe, too. Highlights on the new EZ-60 include stylish, recognisably-Mazda looks, and some aero features that include various vents on the bodywork to improve aerodynamics.

The car was revelaed at the Shanghai Motor Show, and we should hear more about UK details, including price and the expected name change, soon after that.

There's no official information about when the EZ-60 will arrive on UK shores, but some time in 2026 seems likely. Price-wise, a starting cost of around £45,000 would be our best guess for now, as that would keep it competitive with its rivals.

The exterior of the EZ-60 shows typical contemporary modern Mazda styling on a sleek, coupe-SUV-style body. The influence of the forthcoming Mazda6e is noticeable too, and there are some eyecatching aerodynamic features including cameras replacing side mirrors, and vents in the bonnet and the C-pillars.

The EX-60 measures 4850mm in length and 1935mm wide, and rides on 21-inch wheels.

Inside, there's an enormous 26.45-inch widescreen centre display and a "virtual 3D" head-up display that projects driving information onto the windscreen. Other highlights include a 23-speak sound system, including speakers in the front headrests that let the occupants listen to different music from the rest of the car. Press images also show plush-looking passenger seats with moveable legrests.

Mazda hasn't said what will lurk under the EZ-60's bodywork, but judging by what's powering the S07, we're expecting a rear-mounted electric motor with 217PS and an 80kWh battery. Mazda has given us an idea of range, however – around 370 miles.
