Mazda 6's Rear-Drive Replacement Gets Sportier

Mazda has introduced a sports edition of its electric EZ-6 liftback in China, positioning it as the successor to the Mazda 6 sedan and wagon models being phased out.
Mazda discontinued the Mazda 6 in Australia after 23 years due to Australian Design Rule 98/00 requiring autonomous emergency braking starting March 2025.
The EZ-6 Sports Edition offers a more aggressive design highlighted by a lit Mazda emblem, vibrant red brake components, and 19-inch alloy wheels finished in glossy black, fitted with Michelin tires. Additionally, this model will be introduced in Europe under the name Mazda 6e.
The EZ-6 lineup includes a battery-electric version with up to 600km CLTC range and an extended-range electric vehicle with a 1.5-litre engine, 160kW motor, 3.6L/100km fuel economy, and 1301km range.
Mazda Australia has not yet announced local availability of the EZ-6/6e models, while CEO Masahiro Moro has indicated that the potential next-generation Mazda 6 could feature a six-cylinder engine and be built on the company’s Large Architecture platform, supporting rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, though no final decision has been made.
