Although it remains unclear when Mazda will replace its current 6 midsize sedan, the carmaker has introduced a new model in China.At the Beijing auto show in 2024, Mazda debuted the rearwheeldrive EZ6 on Thursday. Before the year is out, the gorgeous sedan—which is the product of Mazda and its Chinese partner Changan Automobile—is expected to be on sale in China. The announcement of sales in other markets is pending.Customers will have the option of plugin hybrid or electric drivetrains; the latter offers a perfect fronttorear weight distribution and a 373mile range on the Chinese test cycle. If the more stringent EPA cycle was used in the calculation, the result would be slightly lower.With a length of 193.7 inches, the EZ6 is around 4.5 inches longer than the previous Mazda 6. Although Chinese media claimed that the EZ6 and a Changan sedan known as the SL03 share a platform, Mazda did not specify which platform the vehicle is based on. Changan was in charge of developing the EZ6's connection features and powertrains, according to confirmation from Mazda.The designers of Mazda created both the outside and the inside. The EZ6, according to the carmaker, exhibits the most recent development of its Kodo design language.The interior has the clean style that characterizes contemporary Mazdas. The preference of the designers seems to be for a huge touchscreen oriented landscape, which suggests that there aren't many physical controls. Additionally available are gesture and voice commands, the latter of which can even be operated when the driver is not inside the car, as in the case of remote parking operations.Additionally, Mazda debuted the Arata electric crossover concept at the Beijing auto show. According to Mazda, the idea looks at fresh design motifs for upcoming electric cars targeted at Chinese buyers.Next year, a production model utilizing Changan's EV technology is anticipated to be introduced in the Chinese market.
