Mazda EZ-6 2025, come on Mazda, order it PLEASE!

The Mazda6 It’s no longer with us since 2021, but many still miss this sedan that offers road manners. Mazda has no plans to return to this part of North America at the moment, but the newcomer unveiled in China could be a game changer, the 2025 EZ-6.

It was during the Beijing Auto Show in China that Mazda launched its first electric sedan, theNO-6. It is said to be a Mazda, but, in fact, only the bodywork is original Mazda, everything else comes from its Chinese partner Chongqing Changan Automobiles. The EZ-6 is, in fact, a variant of the Deepal SL03. Its production will start before the end of 2024 as a 2025 model.

Mazda style

EZ-6 represents a step forward in the design and theme of “KODO-Soul of Motion”. While the features are immediately recognizable as Mazda, we quickly notice the proportions of the Deepal SL03. The grille layout marks a major evolution in Mazda’s styling. While we’ve already seen the illuminated grille on the 3, 6 and CX-9, we go even further with the EZ-6 which offers full LED lighting to support the front end. The light pillars are very thin and reminiscent of those of the 2021 Jaguar F-Type.

In profile, the sedan is very basic and fully restores the SL03’s roof arch. This is far from a defect since the line has been improved and is inspired by the 4-door revolution. To promote aerodynamics, the door handles are flush. The 19-inch wheels of the model shown are covered by an aerodynamic wheel cover. On the back, here again, we see the influence of the position of the single top light of the SL03. With EZ-6, we get two LED circles and develop the whole in one place. Interestingly, since the EZ-6 is a rear-wheel drive vehicle, we notice a powerful spoiler on the trunk.

Clean and modern

Not surprisingly, the EZ-6’s cabinet is almost identical to that of the SL03. Designers offer a very refined approach that offers a lot of space. According to Mazda, we put forward the principle of “Jimba-itta” which symbolizes the bond between the car and the driver. In front of the driver, the digital instrument has a 10.2-inch display, while that of the multimedia system is 14.2 inches. The entire cabin is covered in leather for a luxurious signature. In addition, the front seat can be reclined and even provides legroom for great comfort. To promote better light on board, the roof is almost completely glazed.

Electric or with a variety of accessories

At the moment, Mazda is not talking much about the technical characteristics of the EZ-6 2025. We know that the car is built on the Changan Automobile EPA1 platform, hence the SL03. If we rely on this car as a base, the EZ-6 can be offered with a choice of 2 battery capacities: 58.9 or 66.8 kilowatt hours. The EZ-6 will probably only be a rear-wheel drive vehicle where we can see two power outputs, based on 215 or 255 horsepower. In both cases, the torque remains the same at 236 lb-ft. Fun to improve road behavior, the electric version offers a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. In the case of the plug-in hybrid version, we do not say which heat engine will be connected. According to Mazda’s estimates, the electric EZ-6 will be able to travel up to 600 kilometers on a single charge, while the PHEV version will be able to exceed 1,000 kilometers.

Obviously, we are passing our turn

Unfortunately, the EZ-6 will not be released in Canada or anywhere other than China at this time. It’s a shame, because if we rely on the success of the Tesla 3 in the country, a competitive contribution from Mazda in the segment can be interesting and, above all, give the possibility to fans of electric sedans to have a little more. option.
