Mazda has never been content with producing cars that are merely practical. There’s always been an element of emotion, a connection between driver and machine, a philosophy the company calls Jinba-Ittai, or “horse and rider as one.” The new EZ-60 takes that philosophy into the electric age, proving that EVs can be thrilling, stylish, and surprisingly human. From its futuristic exterior that blends elegance with aerodynamic purpose to the enormous 26.45-inch 5K display inside, the EZ-60 invites you to rethink what a crossover SUV can be. Driving it isn’t about commuting it’s about enjoying every twist, turn, and pause along the way, whether you’re in the heart of a bustling city or cruising across open highways.
This is not just another electric SUV. It’s a vehicle that dares to be playful, clever, and engaging, yet remains practical enough for daily life. Mazda has packed the EZ-60 with features that matter range, comfort, technology, and driving pleasure without compromising on style.
Futuristic Design Meets Everyday Elegance
At first glance, the EZ-60 looks more like a concept car than something you can take home today. Mazda calls its design philosophy FUTURE + SOUL x MODERN, and the execution is impressive. Sculpted body lines, precise panel gaps, and air passageways on the hood create a sense of motion even while standing still. Beyond aesthetics, these design choices improve aerodynamics and energy efficiency a clever marriage of form and function.
- Exterior Dimensions: 4,850 mm long, 1,935 mm wide, 1,620 mm tall, giving it an imposing but balanced stance.
- Wheels and Tires: 255/40R/21 tires on refined alloy wheels provide both grip and comfort, bridging sporty handling with urban practicality.
- Interior Layout: A five-seat cabin anchored by a 26.45-inch 5K centre display and a virtual 3D heads-up display ensures drivers get information clearly without distraction.
Mazda has always known that elegance alone doesn’t make a car compelling. The EZ-60’s exterior and interior cues are designed to enhance not just aesthetics but also the driving experience, giving owners a sense of pride every time they approach the vehicle.

The true beauty of the EZ-60 comes alive once you’re behind the wheel. The Jinba-Ittai philosophy is not a marketing slogan here; it is engineered into the car. The 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution, combined with strut front and multi-link rear suspension, ensures that the vehicle responds intuitively to driver input. Electronically controlled dampers adjust in real-time, adapting to city streets, highway cruising, or tighter corners with ease.
- Powertrains:
- BEV: Around 600 km per full charge
- PHEV: Over 1,000 km combined range
- Drive Layout: Rear-Wheel-Drive, offering that classic Mazda feel with a hint of tail-out playfulness when desired
Whether you are navigating a series of city roundabouts or carving a highway bend, the EZ-60 feels alive, communicative, and surprisingly fun. Most EVs in this segment can feel numb, but this is where Mazda’s DNA shines electricity does not dilute the joy of driving; it enhances it.
