The EZ-60 will be available as a pure electric vehicle (EV) with a 190kW motor driving the rear wheels, and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery of unknown capacity.

The same 190kW electric motor is used in the EREV version, and it is solely responsible for driving the wheels. Under the bonnet there’s a 72kW 1.5-litre petrol engine that recharges the battery when it runs low, or at the driver’s behest.

A smaller 31.73kWh LFP battery is used in this model, and is said to have a 160km electric-only driving range under the generous CLTC testing standard.

in terms of length, and is 45mm wider than both.

Boot space is rated at 350 litres with the rear seats, and grows to 2036L when they’re folded down. The EZ-60 EV also has a 126L storage area under the bonnet — a “frunk” if you will, or maybe a “froot” for us.

On the inside there’s a huge 26.45-inch 5K display serving as the infotainment touchscreen, as well as a display for the front passenger. Interestingly there’s a head up display in place of a more traditional instrumentation screen.

There’s no word yet if the EZ-60 will be sold on the Continent and the ***, but reports indicate it will happen and the car will be rebadged as the CX-6e.

Neither the 6e/EZ-6 or the EZ-60/CX-6e have been confirmed for Australia. The last electric vehicle sold in Australia by Mazda was the quirky
