Mazda EZ-60: First details about electric SUV revealed

7NEWS27-05-2025
The first technical details about the electric version of the Mazda EZ-60 — expected to be called CX-6e in Europe and other export markets — have been revealed in China.
Details submitted by Mazda to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) as part of the car's certification process have published by Car News China.
Unveiled at the Shanghai motor show at the end of April, the EZ-60 will go on sale in China later this year. It could be a breakout hit for the brand as it has already garnered 20,000 refundable deposits.

The EZ-60 will be available as a pure electric vehicle (EV) with a 190kW motor driving the rear wheels, and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery of unknown capacity.
The same 190kW electric motor is used in the EREV version, and it is solely responsible for driving the wheels. Under the bonnet there's a 72kW 1.5-litre petrol engine that recharges the battery when it runs low, or at the driver's behest.
A smaller 31.73kWh LFP battery is used in this model, and is said to have a 160km electric-only driving range under the generous CLTC testing standard.
The EZ-60 is 4850mm long, 1935mm wide, 1620mm tall, and rides on a 2902mm wheelbase. This means it sits somewhere between the 4.74m CX-60 and 5.0m CX-80 in terms of length, and is 45mm wider than both.
Boot space is rated at 350 litres with the rear seats, and grows to 2036L when they're folded down. The EZ-60 EV also has a 126L storage area under the bonnet — a 'frunk' if you will, or maybe a 'froot' for us.
On the inside there's a huge 26.45-inch 5K display serving as the infotainment touchscreen, as well as a display for the front passenger. Interestingly there's a head up display in place of a more traditional instrumentation screen.
Co-developed with state-owned automaker Changan, the EZ-60 will be built at their joint venture factory. The EZ-60 rides on Changan's EPA1 architecture, which underpins various models from Changan and Deepal, including the S07 SUV that went on sale in Australia at the end of 2024.
The same architecture is also used in the Mazda EZ-6 sedan, which will be sold in Europe as the Mazda 6e and is an electrified, rear-wheel drive successor to the departed 6. The 6e has been confirmed for sale in the UK, a right-hand drive market like Australia.
There's no word yet if the EZ-60 will be sold on the Continent and the UK, but reports indicate it will happen and the car will be rebadged as the CX-6e.
Neither the 6e/EZ-6 or the EZ-60/CX-6e have been confirmed for Australia. The last electric vehicle sold in Australia by Mazda was the quirky MX-30 SUV, which featured reverse-hinged rear doors and cork interior trim.

2025 Omoda 9 price and specs

Chery says its spinoff brand Omoda Jaecoo is a step up from its namesake brand, and at the top of the hierarchy is the Omoda 9. Priced at $61,990 before on-road costs, this medium-to-large five-seat crossover SUV is the priciest model ever offered by Chery in Australia. It's arriving in local showrooms in early August, offered exclusively with a tri-motor plug-in hybrid powertrain offering some heady stats: 169km of electric-only range, combined range of up to 1100km, total system power of 395kW, and a claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 4.9 seconds. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. It's slightly larger than a Mazda CX-60 – 35mm longer, 30mm wider and 4mm taller – and is offered in one fully loaded grade for less than the most affordable plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of its Japanese rival. The Mazda CX-60 P50e Pure, for context, is priced at $63,290 before on-roads. The Omoda 9 joins the Jaecoo J7 and J8 in Omoda Jaecoo showrooms. Omoda-badged vehicles will have sleeker, crossover-style styling, while Jaecoo-badged models have more traditional SUV styling. Here's an explainer. The Omoda 9 rides on MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension with Continuous Damping Control. There are selectable Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, Sand and Off-road drive modes, and three levels of regenerative braking. The Omoda 9 is backed by an eight-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty for both the vehicle and its high-voltage battery. Omoda Jaecoo also offers eight years of roadside assistance and eight years or 120,000km of capped-price servicing. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. The Omoda 9 has yet to be tested by safety authority ANCAP. However, in testing by sister authority Euro NCAP, it received a five-star rating.
