China
Changan Mazda has refreshed the EZ-60, its China-market electric SUV, with a roof-mounted LiDAR unit now offered across four trims. The same car, sold abroad as the CX-6e, goes on sale in Thailand on 7 October, its earliest confirmed right-hand-drive launch date.
Mazda EZ-60 LiDAR trims and prices
The EZ-60 lineup keeps its EREV and EV powertrains and now spans 113,900 to 166,900 yuan (~$16,900–24,800). Four trims now add a Hesai ATX LiDAR unit for 145,900 to 166,900 yuan (~$21,700–24,800), a 12,000 yuan (~$1,800) premium over the equivalent standard version. Paired with three millimetre-wave radars, 11 cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors, the LiDAR extends forward detection beyond 250 metres. Mazda says it unlocks more than 200 assisted-driving scenarios, including highway ramp entry and exit, service-area access and automated lane changes.
What the export Mazda CX-6e gets
Outside China, the car is badged CX-6e and sold as an EV only, without the EREV option or, so far, any LiDAR trim. It has been on sale in Germany since mid-2026, priced from €49,990 for the Takumi trim, with the same 190 kW (258 PS) motor and a 78 kWh battery rated at 484 km on the WLTP cycle. Thailand’s launch uses the identical specification. Thai cars are imported fully built from China. The UK and Australia have both announced CX-6e pricing for later in 2026, but neither has a confirmed on-sale date yet, making Thailand’s 7 October date the earliest confirmed right-hand-drive launch so far.
Mazda CX-6e and Changan’s EPA platform
Both the EZ-60 and the CX-6e are products of the Changan Mazda joint venture, built on Changan’s EPA platform, the same underpinnings as the Deepal S07. Mazda’s own in-house EV platform is now due in 2029, two years after its original 2027 target.
