China's manufacturing going global has become an unstoppable trend of the times. On April 22, Changan Mazda's all-electric flagship sedan MAZDA 6e officially set sail from the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Wharf for export to Europe. Its first batch of 600 MAZDA 6e vehicles is expected to arrive at a Belgian port in May and be delivered to dealers in multiple European countries this summer. According to the official statement, this shipment marks the countdown to the MAZDA 6e's delivery phase in the European market, Changan Mazda's "Double Hundred Doubling" strategic plan is gradually being implemented, and China's "joint-venture intelligent manufacturing" is accelerating the empowerment of Mazda's global electrification layout.
Some friends may still not be very familiar with the MAZDA 6e, but if I say it is the globalized model of the MAZDA EZ-6, then you should be very familiar with it! That's right! The MAZDA 6e is an electric vehicle based on the MAZDA EZ-6 and launched to meet the European market environment. Let's briefly review the journey of the MAZDA 6e. On January 10 this year, the MAZDA 6e made its debut at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show in Belgium; on April 2, the MAZDA 6e rolled off the production line at Changan Mazda's Nanjing plant; on April 22, the MAZDA 6e was loaded onto a ship at the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Wharf and set sail for export to Europe. This reflects China's speed, and even more so Changan Mazda's speed. So what product strengths does the MAZDA 6e have? Let's use the MAZDA EZ-6 to explain them for everyone. To clarify, here we will not elaborate on the exterior and interior design of the MAZDA EZ-6, because everyone's aesthetic taste is different, so we will not waste space on it. 
I believe most people's first impression of Mazda gasoline vehicles is their handling. Mazda's power, rear-wheel drive, and chassis tuning are deeply favored by users, earning it the reputation of "Corner King." Entering the new energy era, the MAZDA EZ-6 fully continues Mazda's gasoline vehicle calibration. Drivers can transition seamlessly without special adaptation. It can adapt to your driving habits, and driving this car is easier to get the hang of.
At the same time, the MAZDA EZ-6 adopts a wide-body, low-center-of-gravity design, comes standard with a rear H-arm multi-link independent suspension, and uses a 50:50 front-to-rear axle balanced weight distribution architecture. Its moose test result is 80 kph, and its minimum turning radius is only 5.6 m, achieving an ultimate balance between vehicle stability and driving smoothness, and providing more accurate road feedback; this makes us more confident and makes the car easier to control when driving. Regarding handling, the MAZDA 6e has undergone dynamic performance verification on unrestricted German highways, and its extreme driving control meets European road condition standards.
In addition to handling, it can be said that Mazda's safety is also an industry benchmark. In terms of passive safety, the MAZDA EZ-6 comes standard across the lineup with 9 airbags, with a total airbag volume of 350 L and a protection area of up to 25,000 square centimeters. The body adopts a 7-horizontal, 5-vertical all-steel cage architecture design, with high-strength steel accounting for 86% of the body, meeting both Chinese and European dual safety standards.
In terms of active safety, the MAZDA EZ-6 is equipped with 19+ active safety driving assistance functions, including AEB automatic emergency braking, LDW lane departure warning, LKA lane keeping assist, LAEB low-speed collision avoidance emergency braking, FCTB front cross-traffic emergency braking, and many other functions. Of course, it is also equipped with intelligent driving assistance functions such as IACC intelligent cruise assist and LDC smart offset avoidance.
For independent brand new energy models, there is another leading feature, namely the intelligent cockpit. The MAZDA EZ-6 also has impressive strength in this regard. The MAZDA EZ-6 is equipped with a 10.1-inch high-definition smart digital instrument cluster, a 14.6-inch anti-glare floating LCD screen, a 50-inch high-definition AR-HUD, and other intelligent technology screens; the vehicle system adopts the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 automotive chip and supports four-zone intelligent voice recognition, exterior voice interaction, and other functions. In addition, the MAZDA EZ-6 also offers both pure electric and range-extended dual power options, a choice rarely seen among joint-venture brands, which can meet the different vehicle usage environments and needs of our consumers.
Conclusion: In China, for the world. For Changan Mazda, this is not a slogan, but action. This time, the MAZDA 6e going from China to Europe marks that China's new energy vehicles have gained further recognition in overseas markets and marks the export of joint-venture intelligent manufacturing to the global market. As Hidehisa Matsuda, President of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., said: "The MAZDA 6e has a three-electric system and safety performance that comply with the latest EU regulations, a 'Kodo' aesthetic design with ultra-low wind resistance, and electric 'Jinba Ittai' driving control performance, precisely matching European consumers' expectations for high-end electric sedans." Facts have also proven that the MAZDA 6e, as a global car, is worthy of the expectations of European consumers, and whether from the perspectives of design, configuration, power, intelligence, or price, the MAZDA EZ-6 meets the vehicle usage needs of Chinese consumers. It is worth mentioning that the MAZDA EZ-6 starts at only 99,800 yuan after subsidies in China. Give me one reason not to choose it.
It is reported that from design, R&D to production, the MAZDA 6e strictly follows Mazda's globally unified manufacturing standards. It is both a Chinese car and a global car. Moreover, in addition to exporting to the European market, Changan Mazda's MAZDA 6e will also gradually expand to Thailand and more countries. In the future, in overseas markets, we will be able to see more Chinese cars such as the MAZDA 6e.
