Mazda’s New Electrified SUV Has A Giant Display And A 100-Inch HUD

The Mazda EZ-60 shares its platform with the Deepal S07 from Changan.
It will be offered in both pure EV and range-extender EV powertrains.
Interior packs six screens including a 26.5-inch display and 100-inch HUD.

Update: Mazda has released more details about its new Chinese-market EZ-60, which will also be sold globally – just not in the US. In Europe and other regions, it will likely go by the name CX-6e. For the first time, we’re getting a look inside the compact SUV. Check out the updated article below for the full breakdown.

Mazda has been playing catch-up in the EV world, but now it’s showing a bit more of its hand. A few days ago, the company revealed the first official images of the EZ-60 , a fully electric SUV aimed squarely at the Tesla Model Y and other players in the segment. Thanks to new information from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, we’re getting a more complete picture of what to expect, including confirmation that a range-extender variant is on the way.

While Mazda continues to produce strong internal combustion models and even set a US sales record last year, its electric efforts haven’t exactly impressed. The MX-30, the brand’s first EV , was limited by high pricing and a frustratingly short range, making it an expected but still disappointing flop in the States.

That puts a lot of weight on the shoulders of the EZ-60, which represents Mazda’s next serious push into the global EV market. Outside of China , including Europe, the compact crossover will be sold under a different name, the CX-6e, but the mission remains the same.

Sharp Looks

The design of the new EV takes inspiration from last year’s Arata concept , and while it’s clearly identifiable as a Mazda, it looks much more menacing than any other SUV currently in the brand’s range. The signature grille shape has been retained, although the front end now sports slim LED DRLs and an LED strip running beneath the faux grille. The Mazda logo also lights up for some extra visual drama.

According to the newly released specs, the EZ-60 measures 4,850 mm (190.9 inches) in length, 1,935 mm (76.1 inches) in width, and 1,620 mm (63.7 inches) in height. Its wheelbase stretches 2,902 mm (114.2 inches). For reference, the Tesla Model Y is slightly smaller in most dimensions, coming in at 4,790 mm long, 1,920 mm wide, and 1,624 mm tall, with a 2,890 mm wheelbase. The EZ-60 is also closely matched in size to the Zeekr 7X , one of China’s more promising new EVs expected to reach global markets soon.

We also now know the EZ-60’s curb weight falls between 1,992 and 2,048 kg (4,391 to 4,515 lbs), making it heavier than a base Chevy Silverado with the 8-foot box and nearly as heavy as an entry-level Ford F-150. For context, Mazda’s own CX-50 and CX-5 weigh in at 3,741 and 3,679 lbs, respectively.

Chinese Bones

Developed using the EPA1 flexible platform (which is also utilized by Changan’s) Deepal In Season 7, the EZ-60 will be available as both a fully electric vehicle and a range extender version. While Mazda hasn't provided complete specifications for the all-electric model yet, details about the range-extender variant have been disclosed.

The vehicle features a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four cylinder engine which acts exclusively as a generator, providing energy to a 31.7 kWh battery pack. This battery then supplies power to a 255 horsepower electric motor that drives the rear wheels. Although Mazda has not disclosed specific ranges for the EZ-60, its comparable model, the EZ-6 sedan REEV, boasts an all-electric range of up to 99 miles (160 kilometers), extending to approximately 808 miles (1,300 kilometers) with assistance from the onboard engine to charge the battery.

Inside: Endless Screens,Screens Upon Screens

Shifting to the inside, the most unexpected element is the dashboard. Regardless of its strong connections to Mazda’s local EZ-6 sedan The EZ-60, known in Europe as the 6e, boasts an impressive 26.5-inch 5K screen that stretches across the full width of the dashboard. This design differs from others that use several screens beneath one piece of glass; instead, it consists of a singular, unbroken panel.

Should you desire more screen space, an additional feature includes a 100-inch augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD), which projects essential driving data onto the windscreen. However, one drawback is that Mazda has eliminated all physical buttons from the central control panel, mirroring Tesla’s sleek, minimalistic design philosophy.

As one would anticipate, the EZ-60 comes packed with technology. The vehicle's cabin includes a total of six displays, featuring streaming media rearview mirrors on each side along with an individual control panel for backseat occupants. This represents a significant shift from Mazda’s usual understated interior styling; however, this deviation aligns well with the model being targeted mainly towards upscale consumers. vying for position in the technologically advanced Chinese marketplace .

Mazda has verified several comfort and convenience enhancements, including heated and ventilated seats available for both front and back occupants, alongside a sophisticated 23-speaker audio setup. Even though the technology might seem excessive, Mazda hasn’t overlooked functionality. The car includes an impressive 20 storage spaces distributed around the cabin, complemented by a compact 350-liter rear boot space which can be extended up to 2,036 liters when the seatbacks are lowered. Additionally, a small but useful 126-liter forward compartment offers more roominess.

Correction: A previous version of this article listed the curb weight as 2,590 kg (5,709 pounds), which appears to be the gross vehicle weight. The correct curb weight, according to the spec sheet, is between 1,992 and 2,048 kg (4,391 to 4,515 pounds). We apologize for the error.
