Mazda EZ-6 Production Version Again Trial In Germany, When Will It Launch?

JAKARTA - Mazda has launched the concept of EZ-6 at the Beijing Auto Show 2024 last April. A few months after being exhibited, this model is confirmed to be the line of future production vehicles of the brand.

Recently, the car was caught on surveillance cameras undergoing testing in German territory or one month after confirmation of its planned launch in Europe.

Carscoops reported on Friday, September 20, that the EZ-6 was tested with a camouflage sticker. However, the car, which will later be Mazda6's successor, looks to have an active back spoiler and a different set of black rims.

Unfortunately, information about the production version of EZ-6 is still limited. However, there is a potential that the car will launch with a design that is not much different from the concept.

Mazda EZ-6 is one of the models of the joint venture between Mazda and Changan Automobile, namely Changan Mazda. This car is plotted as one of the manufacturer's electrification vehicle lines in the future.

The sedan carries the company's distinctive design language, namely the Kodo Soul of Motion, combined with the philosophy of satisfaction in driving instilled by Mazda from a long time ago, Jinba-ittai.

Mazda EZ-6 is quite large with a length of 4,921 mm, a width of 1,890 mm, and a height of 1,485 mm. The car is equipped with a 19-inch rim wrapped in 245/45R tires.

Offered with a five-seater configuration, users can be spoiled with a leading safety and comfort system, including advanced ADAS and accident mitigation technology.

In addition, Mazda EZ-6 has a smart system that can be controlled by sound, even when the driver is outside the vehicle. In addition, smart cabin technology is also presented which is operated in a number of ways, including voice control, touch and movement.

This model offers two versions, namely Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV). For BEV, this sedan offers a distance of up to 600 km and PHEV can go as far as 1,000 km from the merger of batteries with fuel.

PT Eurokars Motor Indonesia (EMI), as the agent holding the Mazda brand in the country, also gave a signal that the EZ-6 would be brought to Indonesia. However, they do not want to provide certainty of the time.

"We are communicating with them about this. But I can't say for sure when," said COO of PT EMI Ricky Thio some time ago.
