The sporty version is available both as a fully electric variant and as a hybrid with an extended range. Prices start at ¥161,800 (approximately $22,500) for the base trim.
Technical Features and Market Prospects
The sporty EZ-6 version differs from the regular model with its black 19-inch wheels, red brake calipers, and red interior lighting. The car is also equipped with:
- a 14.6-inch touchscreen,
- a 50-inch projection display,
- a 14-speaker Sony audio system.
So far, Mazda has not confirmed plans to release this version for the European market. However, given that the development was carried out in collaboration with Mazda Europe, the possibility of a similar modification appearing for Europe remains likely. Currently, European versions of the 6e are only available with an electric powertrain, while in China, hybrid variants are also offered.
The presentation of the EZ-6 Sport Edition took place at the Shanghai Auto Show, but details regarding additional technical improvements remain unknown. It is likely that these are only visual and interior changes, rather than a serious upgrade under the hood.
