Presented as a combination of aesthetics and the latest technology, the Mazda EZ-6 brings a sense of luxury and progress to the mid-size sedan segment. Of course, it was presented at the only - the most important salon in Beijing.

Mazda EZ-6, developed in cooperation with the company Changan Mazda, brings a breath of fresh air to the brand's all-electric and plug-in hybrid lineup, confirming Mazda's commitment to sustainability. This stylish sedan boasts Mazda's signature Kodo design language, complemented by modern details such as a partially illuminated grille and retractable door handles, giving the car a futuristic feel.

Propulsion is provided by an all-electric rear-wheel drive system that promises perfect balance with an ideal 50:50 weight distribution and multi-link rear suspension. The unnamed battery pack provides a range of up to 600 km (373 miles) under the Chinese Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC), while the plug-in hybrid version promises a combined range of up to 1,000 km (621 miles) before running out of fuel and electricity.

In terms of dimensions, the EZ-6 is slightly larger than its predecessor, the Mazda 6, at 492 cm (193.7 in) long, 189 cm (74.4 in) wide and 148 cm (58.4 in) tall. lineups won't include Mazda's new rear-wheel-drive inline-six platform, which is currently reserved only for SUV models like the CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90.

The EZ-6 will be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, and sales will begin in China. According to reports, Mazda currently has no plans to export this model to other markets, which means that this stylish sedan may remain exclusive to Chinese buyers. This strategy reflects Mazda's adaptation to global markets and taking advantage of regional opportunities, which is key to success in the ever-changing automotive world.

Inside, the Mazda EZ-6 offers a refined design with a "floating" center console that is completely different from those found in global Mazda models, which further emphasizes the luxury attitude of this model. Jaguar design influences in the taillights and possibly the headlights add a touch of British elegance, which is surprising for a Japanese brand.

Mazda EZ-6 thus, it is not only a step forward for the brand in the field of electrification, but also proof that Mazda is not afraid to try a new approach and design to meet specific market demands, especially in the fast-growing Chinese electric vehicle market. As such, the EZ-6 is not only a new generation of Mazda, but perhaps also a vision of the future of motoring, where electric power and exceptional design walk hand in hand in harmony.
