Mazda Motor Europe has officially introduced the Mazda6e, a revolutionary Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), at the Brussels Motor Show 2025. Scheduled for release in June 2025, the Mazda6e represents the brand’s entry into the midsize BEV segment, specifically tailored for European consumers.

The Mazda6e serves as the European iteration of the Mazda EZ-6, which was first showcased at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2024. This innovative BEV is a product of Mazda’s long-standing partnership with Changan Automobile Co., Ltd, a collaboration spanning over two decades. Combining Mazda’s iconic design philosophy and craftsmanship with Changan’s advanced expertise in electrification and intelligent cabin technologies, the Mazda6e sets a new standard for electric mobility in the European market.

Designed under the “Authentic Modern” theme, the Mazda6e boasts a sleek coupe-inspired silhouette with clean, flowing lines that highlight its modernity and electric innovation. Every detail reflects Mazda’s commitment to craftsmanship while incorporating unique EV-specific elements to emphasise its futuristic appeal. The driving dynamics have been meticulously refined to achieve Jinba Ittai, Mazda’s hallmark sense of oneness between driver and car. Precision-tuned braking and responsive handling ensure a deeply engaging and intuitive driving experience.

In a bid to comply with the European Union’s stringent emissions targets for 2025, several major car manufacturers have joined forces with Tesla. The collaboration aims to pool emissions credits, leveraging Tesla’s clean-energy surplus to offset shortfalls and dodge significant fines.

Under the EU’s regulations, overall fleet emissions must fall from 106.6 grams of CO₂ per kilometre to 93.6 grams this year. Each automaker has specific targets to meet based on their fleet composition. To address the challenge, Toyota, Ford, Mazda, Stellantis, Subaru, and Leapmotor have formed a “Superpool” with Tesla. Together, these brands represent 33% of the vehicle market and 30% of the EV market in Europe.

Tesla’s Role and the Financial Stakes

Tesla, the global leader in emissions credit trading, plays a critical role in this strategy. The pooling agreement narrows the group’s emissions gap to within 4 grams of the target, according to Will Roberts, Automotive Research Lead at Rho Motion.

A Bold Step Forward

Mazda’s CEO, Masahiro Moro, highlighted the brand’s progress toward its in-house EV platform, which is set to debut in 2027. This platform is promised to deliver vehicles with “advanced design, superior convenience, and extended driving ranges,” signalling a departure from Mazda’s earlier strategy of adapting combustion-engine platforms for electric use.

Mazda, pengeluar kereta Jepun yang terkenal, menunjukkan prestasi cemerlang dengan mencatatkan pertumbuhan pesat dalam pasaran automotif Amerika Syarikat (AS) yang semakin tertumpu kepada elektrifikasi. Syarikat itu dijangka memecahkan rekod jualan AS sejak 1986, dengan anggaran melebihi 420,000 unit dijual pada 2024—a peningkatan 16% berbanding tahun sebelumnya. Sasaran yang lebih besar sebanyak 450,000 unit telah ditetapkan untuk 2025, didorong oleh populariti crossover kompak dan SUV bersaiz sederhana.

Model seperti CX-5, CX-30, dan CX-50 terus menjadi penyumbang utama kejayaan Mazda di AS. Kenderaan ini menggabungkan kebolehpercayaan, praktikaliti, dan pengalaman memandu yang unggul, menjadikannya pilihan popular di kalangan pengguna. Tom Donnelly, Presiden Operasi Amerika Utara Mazda, menyatakan bahawa syarikat itu berkembang dalam pasaran automotif yang stabil, sambil memenuhi permintaan pelanggan dengan model-model andalannya.

Mazda is defying industry trends by thriving in a market increasingly focused on electrification. The Japanese automaker is poised to break its long-standing U.S. sales record from 1986, projecting over 420,000 vehicles sold in 2024, marking a 16% year-over-year increase. The surge is largely attributed to the popularity of Mazda’s compact crossovers and mid-size SUVs, with an ambitious target of 450,000 vehicles set for 2025.

“We’re growing our business in what has largely been a stable industry,” said Tom Donnelly, Mazda’s president of North American operations. This growth is underpinned by consistent demand for models like the CX-5, CX-30, and CX-50, which dominate the company’s lineup and resonate strongly with U.S. consumers.

Cautious Steps Toward Electrification

Despite its sales success, Mazda has been measured in its approach to electrification. Currently, the company offers three hybrid models: the Toyota-assisted CX-50 Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the CX-70 and CX-90 SUVs. While these hybrids have garnered mixed reviews, Mazda’s fully electric ambitions remain modest.

Lebih setahun telah berlalu sejak Mazda memperkenalkan konsep Iconic SP di Pameran Mobiliti Jepun, yang membayangkan kemungkinan kembalinya siri RX yang ikonik. Coupe dua tempat duduk yang elegan ini, dilengkapi dengan enjin dua pemutar, telah mencetuskan keterujaan dan spekulasi mengenai kebangkitan semula barisan RX. Kini, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Mazda, Masahiro Moro, mengesahkan bahawa pembangunan Iconic SP sedang berterusan. Walaupun ini bukan pengesahan rasmi tentang kepulangan RX, kenyataan tersebut menunjukkan projek ini terus bergerak ke hadapan, dengan peminat mungkin dapat menjangkakan versi pengeluaran — meskipun dalam saiz yang lebih kecil daripada konsep asal.

Reka Bentuk dan Saiz

Ketua Pereka Mazda, Masashi Nakayama, sebelum ini memberi petunjuk bahawa model ini mungkin lebih kecil, dengan saiz yang hampir menyerupai MX-5 Miata. Hal ini menimbulkan spekulasi bahawa Iconic SP mungkin menjadi pratonton bagi generasi MX-5 seterusnya, dan bukannya model RX baharu sepenuhnya. Konsep Iconic SP mempunyai dimensi 4,178mm panjang, 1,849mm lebar, dan 45.2 inci tinggi, dengan jarak roda 1,148mm serta berat 1,450kg. Kereta ini direka dengan pengagihan berat yang seimbang, memberikan potensi prestasi yang tinggi.

Over a year has passed since Mazda introduced the Iconic SP concept at the Japan Mobility Show, hinting at the return of its iconic RX series. The sleek two-seater coupe with a two-rotor engine sparked excitement and speculation about the revival of the RX line. Now, Mazda’s CEO, Masahiro Moro, has confirmed that work on the Iconic SP is progressing. While not an official confirmation of the RX’s return, his statement suggests that the project is moving forward, and fans can expect the road-going version of the car—though it may be smaller than the concept.

Mazda’s Chief Designer, Masashi Nakayama, previously hinted that the car could be smaller, possibly similar in size to the MX-5 Miata. This has led to speculation that the Iconic SP could preview the next MX-5 rather than a direct RX model. The concept was 4,178mm long, 1,849mm wide, and 45.2 inches tall, with a 1,148mm wheelbase and a weight of 1,450kg. The car’s weight distribution was balanced, which enhanced its performance potential.

Mazda left a lasting impression at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2024 (KLIMS 2024) with the grand unveiling of its flagship mid-size SUV, the All-New Mazda CX-60. Representing the first model in Mazda’s Large Product group, the CX-60 sets a benchmark for driving pleasure, advanced safety features, and environmentally conscious performance.

 

The Mazda CX-60 embodies the brand’s Kodo design philosophy, which translates to “Soul of Motion”, enriched with the Japanese aesthetic of Ma (間)—a concept that celebrates the serene beauty of empty space. This design approach brings the SUV to life, emphasising a harmonious blend of strength and elegance. Even at rest, the CX-60 exudes dynamism and vitality, a hallmark of Mazda’s design evolution.

 

The exterior design of the CX-60 is both commanding and artistic. A bold and upright front grille, coupled with Mazda’s signature wing that now features integrated indicators, gives the SUV a striking face. The vertically stacked headlights, accented by L-shaped signature lighting, add to its rugged and distinctive appearance. Its muscular body proportions reflect the skeletal strength inspired by Japanese craftsmanship, lending it a grounded and confident stance. A flowing line, inspired by the fluidity of Japanese calligraphy, stretches gracefully from the rear of the cabin to the ground, enhancing its dynamic and forward-leaning profile. This thoughtful integration of form and function underscores the CX-60’s concept of “Noble Toughness.”

Inside, the cabin of the Mazda CX-60 redefines luxury with an immersive blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern design. A wide instrument panel seamlessly connects to the air vents and door trims, creating a cohesive and open atmosphere. Premium materials such as natural wood and woven textiles imbue the cabin with warmth and authenticity, reflecting Mazda’s meticulous attention to detail. The elongated centre console emphasises the longitudinally mounted engine layout, reinforcing the vehicle’s advanced engineering while contributing to its premium appeal. Every texture and pattern within the cabin has been carefully curated to deliver a calming and sophisticated ambiance.

To complement its refined design, the CX-60 features cutting-edge connectivity systems that simplify and elevate the driving experience. These advanced technologies ensure seamless interaction for both the driver and passengers, providing an intuitive and luxurious environment.

Underneath its striking exterior, the Mazda CX-60 introduces a groundbreaking longitudinal engine layout, a first for Mazda’s SUV lineup. This innovative architecture enhances handling, balance, and overall driving dynamics, delivering an engaging and responsive experience. Coupled with Mazda’s commitment to environmental sustainability, the CX-60 offers modern motorists a vehicle that is as responsible as it is exhilarating.

The All-New Mazda CX-60 represents a bold evolution for Mazda, setting new standards in the mid-size SUV segment. By combining strength, elegance, and unmatched craftsmanship, the CX-60 is poised to elevate Mazda’s presence in the premium automotive market. Enthusiasts and buyers alike can look forward to a model that seamlessly integrates luxury, innovation, and driving pleasure.
