Mazda officially discontinued production of its flagship model, the Mazda 6 (Artez), in April this year, ending the model’s 22-year sales history. As inventory was gradually sold out, the Mazda 6 was also removed from the Japanese official website, symbolizing its official withdrawal from the market.
However, the launch of the Mazda EZ-6, as the successor of the Mazda 6, not only inherited the flagship status of the Mazda 6, but also attracted widespread attention in the global market with its unique design and advanced technology. This new electric sedan continues the Mazda family style in design, while incorporating more modern elements, showing a strong sense of sports and technology.
In terms of exterior design, the EZ-6 adopts a low front and high rear configuration and a gradual front design. The double L style of the headlamp group is combined with the body’s multi-format black wheels and spoiler tail, highlighting its sporty characteristics. In terms of interior, the EZ-6 also spares no effort. The combination of leather and suede, the dual-format steering wheel, 10.2-inch digital instrument and 14.6-inch central touch screen reduce the physical buttons, making the interior layout more concise and luxurious.
In terms of technical configuration, the EZ-6 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, which supports multi-region automatic speech recognition and other functions, and the intelligent driving assistance system has also reached a high level. In addition, the EZ-6 will also provide pure electric and extended range power options. The extended range version is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine and an electric motor, and the CLTC has a range of 1301 kilometers, while the pure electric version has a range of 600 kilometers.
The launch of the EZ-6 is not only an important step in Mazda’s electrification transformation, but also a key part of its globalization strategy. It is reported that the EZ-6 will enter the European market under the name Mazda 6e and be tested in Germany. It is expected to go on sale this autumn. At the same time, the pre-sale of the Chinese market will also start at the end of September, indicating that the EZ-6 is about to make new waves in one of the world’s largest automotive markets.
The launch of the Mazda EZ-6 has undoubtedly set a new benchmark for the joint venture new energy car market. Its comprehensive upgrade in design, technology and performance heralds a new departure for Mazda in the new energy era. The Mazda EZ-6 will enter the European market under the name of Mazda 6. With the gradual promotion of the EZ-6 in the global market, Mazda is expected to occupy a place in the highly competitive new energy vehicle market.
