The sleek sedan adopts the Kodo design language, but with a partially illuminated grille and pop-out door handles. We see some Jaguar cues in the taillights and maybe the headlights. Above the light bar at the rear is an active spoiler that we didn't expect to see on a sedan.
Sitting on 19-inch aero wheels, the Mazda EZ-6 has a large panoramic glass roof and frameless doors. Reports from China indicate that the electric/plug-in hybrid sedan is based on the Changan Shenlan SL03, but has been upgraded with a fancier interior. The cabin doesn't seem to have much in common with Mazda products sold worldwide, which would explain the Chinese connection. It does seem like a nice place to be, and the full-length "floating" center console is interesting.

There are some preliminary technical specifications to go along with these official images. The Mazda EZ-6 gets a rear-wheel drive setup as an electric model. It has a perfect 50:50 weight distribution and a multi-link rear suspension. The unspecified battery pack is good for a range of 600 km according to the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC). The plug-in hybrid EZ-60 can travel 1,000 km before running out of gas and battery power.
As for size, it's 4,921 mm × 1,890 mm × 1,485 mm. This makes it slightly larger than the old 6. The EZ-6 will go on sale in China after its public debut this week at the Beijing Motor Show. The electric/plug-in hybrid mid-size sedan is unlikely to be exported to other markets.
