● New car features
In terms of appearance, the Mazda EZ-6 follows the Mazda family’s Soul design concept. The pure electric model uses a closed front grille, and the extended-range model uses an open front grille. At the same time, its headlights have a split structure, with the main light source hidden under the daytime running lights. The light strips surrounding the front grille, together with the feathery light sources on both sides, form an LED light group called the Wings of Light, and the Mazda logo in the middle also has a luminous function. The front enclosure of the vehicle integrates the black panel with the front grille, and there are ventilation openings on both sides of the longitudinal layout. Below is the design of heat dissipation holes with active grille function.
On the side of the body, the overall shape of the new car is in the style of a slip-back coupe, and the short front and rear suspension design brings a stronger sense of movement to the whole vehicle. Due to the addition of batteries, the height of the Mazda EZ-6 body and the visual heaviness of the side of the car have increased. In addition, the window line and waist line of the vehicle are more straight, and the side skirt and the body are designed with contrasting colors, which has a good visual effect.
In the rear part of the car, the vehicle adopts a through-type tail light set and a ducktail spoiler. It is worth mentioning that the shape of the barrel-type light cavity on both sides of the tail light set is the same as that of many models under Mazda, which is unique. In addition, the diffuser at the bottom of the vehicle and the low pilot light further enhance the sports properties of the whole vehicle. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4921/1890/1485mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2895mm.

At the same time, the interior of the basic version of the car is wrapped in a lot of leather, while the high-end model uses a lot of leather/fur splicing materials, which appropriately enhances the sense of luxury. In terms of car machine, the car has a built-in 8155 chip, which integrates the control of air conditioning, seats, entertainment and other functions. The car will also be equipped with a 14-speaker Sony sound system, 64-color ambient lights, front zero-gravity seats, and the cabin in the car also supports 13 scene mode switching and panoramic canopy and other configurations.
