JAKARTA - PT Eurokars Motor Indonesia (EMI) has officially presented the first electric vehicle (EV) of the Mazda brand in the country, named MX-30, as well as marking the first step of the Japanese brand on the Indonesian electrification market.

Despite launching its first EV in the national arena, Mazda's single brand-holding agent (ATPM) in Indonesia has hinted at the presence of other electric cars such as the EZ-6 in the future.

PT EMI Chief Operating Officer Ricky Thio said that his party would launch EZ-6 to Indonesia but all were waiting for directions from Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan.

"All of that is a direction from Mazda Motor Corporation. They are our principle, so they must have thought about everything and launched it anywhere," Ricky said when met by the media in Simprug, Jakarta, Monday, November 11.

He also added that Mazda globally will bring more EVs with better distance capabilities.

"It's possible, maybe in 2 years, 5 years, or 10 years we don't know," added Ricky.

Unfortunately, Ricky has not explained the certainty time of Mazda's EV launch in Indonesia. However, he made sure his products would be better.

"I never said when. To be sure, we will go to the better, better, better," explained Ricky.

Mazda EZ-6 has been launched in the Chinese market at a price of 139,800 to 179,800 yuan (equivalent to Rp304.7 million to Rp391.9 million). The car is available in four variants for Extended Range (EREV) and three types for fully EVs.

This sedan-style car is an electrification line exhibited at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition (Beijing Auto Show) 2024.

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.
