Mazda Signs The Presence Of Luxury Sedans For The Chinese Market, The Successor Of Mazda 6?
JAKARTA - The joint venture company Changan Mazda hints at the presence of the latest electric sedan on social media for the Chinese market and will launch at the Beijing Auto Show 2024 on April 25 to May 4.
According to a report from Carscoops, Tuesday, April 16, it is estimated that the car will be the successor to Mazda 6 or China as Atenza.
It is likely that this sedan-sized sedan model will be available on a limited basis for the bamboo curtain country market. The company confirmed that the car will be fully available on EVs and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and built on the platform developed by Changan.
The teaser provides a clear picture of aerodynamic profiles with different characters. There is also a wide rear light with an elegant rear spoiler. It is likely that the front part will be decorated by Mazda's signature goal flanked by a pair of sharp-style front lights.
Changan Mazda is a joint venture that resulted from a collaboration between Changan Automobile and Mazda which was established in 2012 for the Chinese market. The manufacturer is currently selling a number of models consisting of Mazda 3, CX-30, CX-50, and CX-5.
Meanwhile, the Mazda 6 model has been stopped from its production phase from March to May this year. The sale of this model in Japan also ended in the same period. Until now, it is still unclear whether this model will get a successor.
In Europe, Mazda reportedly filed a patent for the name 'Mazda 6e', causing rumors of whether the sedan would be reborn in the form of electrification.
Previously, Mazda had never added the letter "e" to the existing vehicle model. However, this naming strategy could have changed, and Mazda could have used it for various electric vehicle (EV) models, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
Mazda also registered the trademark of the "6e" logo featuring metal-style gradients with a premium touch. Unfortunately, information about this model is still very limited.
