Following its debut in January this year, the Mazda CX-6e has made an appearance at the ongoing Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS). The CX-6e is the export name for the EZ-60, which was revealed much earlier at Auto Shanghai 2025 as the second joint-venture product between Mazda and Changan after the EZ-6/6e. The Changan base used for the CX-6e is the Deepal S07, a crossover that has already been launched in Thailand back in 2024. Compared to the S07, the CX-6e is slightly larger, measuring in at 4,850 mm long, 1,935 mm wide, 1,620 mm tall and with a wheelbase of 2,902 mm. The Deepal’s dimensions are similar to the Mazda but with less overall length by some 100 mm, while the wheelbase is down by a scant two mm. Similarly-sized competitors to the Mazda include the Tesla Model Y and Xpeng G6, both of which lose out in terms of overall length and wheelbase. Unlike the China-market EZ-60, the export-focused CX-6e is not offered as a range-extended electric vehicle (EV) and is a pure EV only. The sole powertrain announced features a rear electric motor rated at 258 PS (255 hp or 190 kW) and 290 Nm of torque, juiced by a 78-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery for a claimed WLTP-rated range of up to 484 km. Performance-wise, it’ll get from 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and maxes out at 185 km/h. The CX-6e supports DC fast charging at a peak power of 195 kW, which gets the battery from a 10-80% state of charge in 24 minutes. A full charge using a peak AC input of 11 kW requires 8.5 hours. Visually, the CX-6e differs from the vehicle it is based on by adopting Mazda’s design language, most notably with the “wings” framing the front grille that are illuminated and lead into the slim daytime running lights. Despite the heavily reworked face, the low-mounted position of the headlamps is in the same vein as the S07, although the lighting units are more conspicuous. Different headlamps, glossy wheel arch surrounds and recoloured C-pillars (for a gloss black floating roof) are other ways to distinguish the CX-6e from its Deepal relative, with the final look bearing some semblance to a big Mazda 3 hatchback. Inside, the star of the show is a massive 26-inch infotainment touchscreen that spans the centre and passenger sides of the dashboard. This integrates most vehicle functions such as the climate system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and voice control system, which means a near absence of physical controls. With the 6e sedan already launched in Thailand, it is likely that the CX-6e will also go on sale in the Kingdom in the near future. Both have not been confirmed for Malaysia, but are these EVs that you want over here?
