The Mazda EZ-60 electric crossover has been unveiled ahead its in-the-flesh debut later this month at the Shanghai motor show.
Mazda took to the Weibo social media platform to drop a video of the car’s exterior. As with many electric vehicles, the EZ-60 features flush-fitting door handles and a closed-off upper grille to smooth out airflow and reduce drag.
Interestingly, the EZ-60 also features a spoiler above its fake front grille, as well as a flying buttress design for its D-pillar, both presumably for aerodynamic reasons. The car in the video also features a camera system in place of traditional wing mirrors.

While we now know what the EZ-60 looks on the outside, the interior is still a mystery, as are the car’s technical specifications.
Under the skin it’s understood the EZ-60 uses the EPA1 architecture developed by Mazda’s Chinese production partner, the state-owned carmaker Changan.
This platform is employed by Mazda on its EZ-6 sedan – sold in Europe as the Mazda 6e – as well as clutch of models sold by Changan under both its own brand, as well as the Deepal marque.
Mazda EZ-60 
Deepal S07
Just as the EZ-6 is a reskinned version of the Deepal L07, the EZ-60 shares its silhouette, if not any body panels, with the Deepal S07.
The S07 was launched in Australia at the tail-end of 2024, and is available locally with one drivetrain featuring a 160kW/320Nm electric motor driving the rear wheels, and fed by an 80kWh ternary lithium battery. AC charging tops out at 11kW, while DC charging maxes out at 92kW.
Under the WLTP testing standard, the S07 has a range of 495km. Tipping the scales at 2073kg, the S07 has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 7.9 seconds.
In China the Deepal S07 is also available with a smaller 68kWh battery pack, as well as a more powerful 190kW motor. Buyers there can also opt a range-extended model, which has a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine under the bonnet that fires up to recharge the 19kWh or 32kWh battery when it starts running low.
Measuring 4750mm long, 1930mm wide, 1625mm tall, and riding on a 2900mm wheelbase, the S07 lines up very closely against the Telsa Model Y.
Like the EZ-6, the EZ-60 will be built in China by the Changan Mazda joint venture, and sold in Europe and other markets around the world.
In Europe, the EZ-6 sedan will be sold as the Mazda 6e, and it’s expected the EZ-60 will be rebadged as the CX-6e on the Continent.
Right-hand drive has been confirmed for the EZ-6, but it’s unknown if either the EZ-6 or EZ-60 will be sold in Australia.
Mazda Australia hasn’t ruled out the possibility of bringing the EZ-6 here as a spiritual successor to the Mazda 6, which was axed locally last year.
