Kirk, If the Mazda sedan makes you drool, at least you have a ready supply of bibs on hand. 🤤😉Nothing less than a real Mazda wagon will start me salivating. 😁
The only thing I don’t like is that Mazdas are made in Mexico
@@AJ88874 I would not buy one of those.
@@AJ88874better than based on a Chinese model
@@AJ88874 that depends on where they sell their cars and what makes the most sense for shipping. Many of their models are still produced in Japan and are sold here. They can be found primarily on the west coast
Mazda said they were going luxury and boy have they
This is a rebadged Chinese vehicle.
I wasn’t expecting Mazda to go next level with their strategy of going premium: but they seriously are. I was wondering how Mazda would be able to make nicer looking vehicles than they already do, and yet they surprise me again. Mazda cars are shockingly elegant looking. They have some serious talent.
if only its on their Skyactiv chassis and paired to the i6 engine
Yes! Design a car around this engine. Imagine a two seater mid engine with this inline 6.
I like the interior but im still gonna say to car makers. I hate hate hate floating screens just tacked onto your dash. Its tacky (ha!) Seriously tuck it away nicely in the dash please. Tell me you care.
You are the minority
@charname-player Many luxury brands are now proply integrating screens into the dash again. This Mazda is a ugly Tesla design... I'll pass. So he or she above is not alone.
So what?
People seem to love these giant poorly integrated screens. I find them really tacky as well.
Planned Obsolecence. They're going to look really dumb in a few years when all the new cars go back to integrated dashes.
Personally, the only EVs I can get exited about are luxury sedans because I would want a luxury sedan to be as smooth as possible and automatic anyways, and an electric vehicle is as smooth as it gets. That Mazda EZ6 looks spectacular. I just enjoy shifting way too much and wouldn’t want to give it away in a sports car so electric sports cars do nothing for me.
Way too bland to drive. Then again their autopilot features are there for a reason to not be made for real driving anyways😂
Mazda, wow! No words... can't wait to see the next US models (sedan!). You know when you buy a car and look back after you park to admire it? Well, I still do that 11 years later with my 2014 Mazda 6 🙂
This is an interesting design trend making its way through the industry. The splitting up of the head lights into "designer DLRs" with hidden main night lamps.
Just bought my 2021 mazda 6 this week. Loving it and cant wait to see what mazda does next with it!
Good job, thank you for the information
Def. not an EV guy but holy moly, that mazda looks absolutely stunning! Still, waiting for the mazda iconic to release. Mega excited for that one
Doesn’t look as good as the current clean design Mazda models to be honest.
its a Chinese made ev dressed as Mazda
I really like this design. 2:00 when i see it for a split second i see Infniti or Nissan in its design language and i think its cause of those lite up panels on the side of the grill. Then you see the logo and go Mazda. As a designer that would bother me.
Thats a very minor thing. I love the deisng overall. Its fantastic. Mazda is on fire.
Wow do I ever like that design especially the interior! I sure hope Mazda brings the 6 back to North America with a hybrid AWD version
This is the Hybrid technology of China Changan Motor Company and made by Changan Motor Company. Can North America sell Chinese cars?
You’re killing it with your content lately.
I absolutely love how aggressive the Arata looks
Trudeau is lost, nobody in canada wants EVs
I like the Nissan concept vehicles .. Lets keep in mind those are concepts and collab with Dongfeng .. Overall they all look nice
Don't get too excited because a pure Mazda products this is not. It's a rebadged Changan Shenlan SL03. I'm ok with this staying in China.
even if mazda only use tha chasis and everything else is mazda?
People overuse the term "rebadge". A rebadge is Alfa Romeo Tonale and Dodge Hornet. Or Toyota RAV4 and Suzuki Across. This is much more than a rebadge. Yes, still very Chinese and very much SL03, but Mazda did a lot more work on the exterior and even the interior to inject some Mazda DNA despite having to build upon Changan bones. This isn't a rebadge.
I totally agree! It’s either full Japanese 🇯🇵 or I don’t care about it.
North american's auto market is being too comfortable for brands like Toyota, they can surge up the price as they want and people still have to pay for that sh*t. Even if you have all the bias on Chinese auto brands, it's always a good thing to have brands compete with each other to give customers a better and cheaper product. It's ALWAYS good to have other choices! Open your eyes and see how good and cheap the EV cars in Chinese auto market, even Toyota, Honda, ford and Cadillac sell cars there with cheaper price and even better features. Old people have this bias on Japanese cars decades ago, things will happen again.
The mazda looks way better than that, that's all that matters. don't really care for Evs but this could be a look at where mazda is heading with the new 6 sedan
We need them to implement the rotary hybrid in more cars.
Do you know much about the 2025 Lexus ES? There were some basic videos a month or so ago but not from you or other main reviewers.
Mazda needs this. They need one great hybrid or plug in sedan. And that powertrain could have legs in alot of their SUVs
That Mazda grille looks alot like a Cadillac Lyriq (sport package).
essential oil diffuser lol i lost it
The new Mazda6 is beautiful. But, are U.S. consumers still buying sedans? Just the other day, Subaru cancelled the Legacy.
The Mazda EZ6 comes in a fully EV (about 600km range) and a hybrid variant. I spent a full day watching the auto show live yesterday, and boy, it was overwhelming with EV premiers. Almost every cars comes with big center screens and all the bells&whistles, latest safety and entertainment features inside! The Chinese auto makers have come a along way, but I still give the best of the show award to the lonely Infiniti concept car hiding at a corner of their booth. Too bad they are about to fold in China. There is another media day you can watch live starting tonight. The show is packed with Tiktok'ers and some foreign youtubers, the new era of media showcasing.
I like the EZ6's front end treatment better than the ones in the new RWD crossovers but it's still notably a downgrade from the last gen 6. Aside from the luxurious two-tone color scheme, I don't think the interior is really that nice (or maybe I'm just not a fan of the Tesla-like center screen). I do like how the Arata concept looks. May all future Mazdas resemble that concept more rather than the awkward new RWD crossovers. Appreciate that the Toyota bZ3c isn't much diluted from the concept and it's pretty handsome for a crossover-coupe. Also, good on Toyota for bringing back the glovebox!!! But please, the bz naming convention should be retired and be forgotten. Nissan's electrified concepts are interesting. I'm partial to the Evo and Epoch sedans, which I think are more appealing than the EZ6. Looking forward to seeing those as the next gen Sentra and Altima. Honda's e:n vehicles are hideous. Just so bland and cheap looking. The Ye series vehicles are much more stylish.
Best video yet
“EZ6 is a few cells down. He has extra commissary.”
10:19 OMG we both made the same ugh sound at the same damn time! You owe me a coke!
😂
that mazda interior is so nice omg XD
Definitely looks like that bz3c and EZ6 shares the same platform.
Wow now this is impressive.
Why would you want a button sticking in your back (BZ3X) .?
I’m fine with its partial redesign but mostly similarity of Changan Shenlan, but I don’t like the interior when they went with the screen only mid console! Where’s the elegance of physical buttons!!!
The BZ3X looks like a very nicely restyled RAV4 to me. I'd buy it as a 2nd/3rd car/runabout.
Thanks for sharing Kirk, I think design is not as clean and as timeless as Mazda rest of the world designs . Did Mazda take some Chinese car and added it's "look" to it ? Rear of that 6e looks weird , it lacks control knob for the entertainment, lack of capacitive touch is big reason buyers buy Mazda and now Mazda uses it as part of the worldly disease... Hope Mazda 6 in US will be q clean looking Mazda World (not China) design . Nice large low stance street wagon 6 (not lifted Subbies like) for around 40K would be a great alternative to SUV for all those not needing tall SUV .
Love the Arata!
OMG 😱😱the EZ6 looks good，where is gonna be US turn to have new Mazda6🥺🥺🥺🥺
Mazda is killing it
The nissans look okay. Im pissed that we will not have GREAT masterpieces. mazda cooked at these designs lately.
This should give us a good indication that Mazda's 6 is coming back and this is their newly redesigned design language for the car whenever Mazda Japan and Mazda USA announces it for the markets respectively with tbe I6 RWD setup. Mazda Japan and Mazda USA need to stop being silent on it. If only they get their heads out of their butts and bring back Mazdaspeed to the brand, they'll get the attention and respect that they deserve again.
Love it like perfection 😍
No thanks on the EV part. If it had the inline 6 from the CX90...
I thought the CX-5 was just being milked as a cash cow and they seemed slow to do hybrid or many changes on it. Unless they want to bet the ranch by having it as bEV unless they plan to keep multiple engines.
Nothing wrong with the CX-5, I love both of mine. Change for the sake of change is not often successful. That’s why old people say if you have something that works, don’t go screw it up.
@@2004cyrus Definitely. The 06 Camry my dad bought new, which I have had the past decade just keeps driving over every horizon. Might just be very mistaken to think some day I'll _need_ to replace it. Unless a decent deal comes up on a new vehicle and I keep it as old guts and glory. The CX-5 is among that short list I keep an eye on. Namely for its insane space.
The electric CX-5 looks great. Too bad the US infrastructure ( California the exception ) for EV's is still behind where the vehicles are. Traveling out of California in a EV would be a scary trip to say the least. The users saying many stations don't work so capacity is knocked down. Would be great to have the EV repair station company telephone numbers to report problems.
By the time this is out the charging network will be 2.5X bigger
That Mazda looks like a Chinese Buick.
Even Toyota making some really attractive vehicles in China.😮
All of these cars look really good. There isn't really anything atrocious about the exteriors that would make me change lanes or drop back in traffic to avoid. I do like physical buttons and display screens that don't look like an after thought attached with 3M double sided foam adhesive. As for why we don't get cars available in China, it's all about politics combined with variations in safety requirements, otherwise, I'd probably be driving a Hong Qi luxo-barge (if they could fix all the complaints posted online.) 🤷🏻♂ I do have my fingers crossed for an eventual return of the 6 in some iteration.
If this comes to the US, I’m immediately trading in my 11th gen accord
Arata front end is perfect....
So much better than the CX-60/70/90 front end. I love how aggressive it is and I hope that design makes it into future Mazda CX models
Rumor says the price will start around $20k
Well, these are not gonna be out for a long time because nobody wants EV’s until the technology and infrastructure improves.. vastly vastly vastly!😅
Idk man the technology is pretty decent already. I know that the main drawback for EVs is that you can’t go long distances (I think somewhere in the 300s is the max an EV can go on a single charge) but your average city commuter is driving
That new Mazda sedan is wonderful! My only caveat is in the interior are the capacitive push buttons. Mazda...please use buttons & knobs!!!!
Looks like some kind of camera to me. Hmmm.
Nissan concepts are a hit or miss. Either they’re very nice looking or hideous.😂
Ok mazda just make a new mazda 6 with the inline 6 and be a sportback/hatch trunk style like the stinger
The interior on the bz3x (I hate these Toyota names) looks just like a NIO interior.
this looks so much sharper than the recently rather boring CXs design
Mazda makes the best concept cars ever hands down. The EZ-6 is exquisite. I'm not in the market for a sedan, but, this one is very tempting.
The only thing I don’t like is that Mazdas are made in Mexico
Mazda should invest in Toyota's new North Carolina plant to also make Mazda's over there. Just like the partnership they have in Alabama
I’m ok with Mazda of Mexico. I do like the Japanese built car but in Mexican assembly if you screw up, you are fired. Not so much in American and Canadian assembly.
Looks like EV sales are slowing down ,Honda spending 11 B for EV’s in Canada,are they nuts? Lol must be a lot of government money! I see hybrids and phev’s expanding maybe,but putting that kind of coin to EV’s doesn’t make sense. Besides where is the infrastructure?
That looks clean looks like gonna be 60k up
Is this true?
I like most of these designs, but man, I can't stand the so-called "minimalist" interior designs that Tesla popularized. I like touchscreens over something like Acura's touchpad, but I hate it when automakers are switching every physical control to the touchscreen. Don't even get me started on the stalk-less steering wheels or the touch capacitive turn signal buttons...
Man, that Mazda interior is beautiful
Even Toyota have rebadged a Chinese vehicle for their new BZ3X. Fact.
It looks nice, but would be better serves as a hybrid model. Also, Canadian manufacturing quality is going down the drain including Lexus Ontario plant. It’s a worker problem.
give me a break
Is this EV only or will it have ICE options also? This is of interest to me as of 2025 I will be starting to think of replacing my Kia Stinger GT (regrettably), as it will be pushing 6 yrs. But I do not want an EV. That is not an option for me at all. No interest in that.
Arata looks like the love child of a CX-5 and the Cybertruck.
Will never understand why the protocol for Hybrids and ev designs requires them to be extremely ugly.
Mazda Arata for the win!
The image at 1:36 looks like a Nissan Maxima with a Mazda badge but better looking. Nissan could have done this for the Maxima To me it seems Nissan missed the mark on two vehicles other automakers are taking advantage of. The new Lexus GX could have easily been a Nissan to me
Cool
Looks very good......a real Mazda.
Any BILLIONS spent on EV cars is crazy, and IN Canada, where it's to damn cold for these things to be practical. Haven't they paid attention to all the EV's sitting on lots - the price reductions by all the manufactures - in my opinion, a waste of 11 BILLION Dollars!?
Enjoy SB. It is paradise.
Another great looking Mazda!
The Toyota EVs might be quite good, them being more expensive BYDs, built by BYD in China.
I feel like Honda almost has to try to beat Toyota to electrification and with almost ground breaking products to try to claw back because I feel they will just continue to lose market share to Toyota, Camry is now better than accord, and once the rav4 gets updated it will probably eat into CRVs sales even more, at least they’ll have the updated passport this year and the ADX for Acura
GM and FORD doubling down on EVs is killing them now. I think Toyota's hybrid playbook is more realistic and will scale better for at least a couple of decades. On the other hand,; perhaps Honda is all the wiser and sees a much rosier EV future? What do I know? I am just an armchair analyst.
A little bit of Lexus vibe :)
Can I say the new Mazda 6 is sexy?
Yes, yes you can
This is what I want to hear I’m waiting for the Mustang EV transition not the Mach e
The Mustrans?
It looks very Audi inspired from the front
The EV "Cx5" looks like the Nissan Ariya
Toyota may have its issues, but they are doing it right … hybrids are the "Current" way to go. Even their (not very good) EV isn't selling well, I don't get it?
A version of this car with dials, buttons and their inline 6 would put Mazda in the cat bird's seat.
If i had a talented blind artist, and I described him/her the last current Mazda 6 I think they'd come up with this. It looks almost the same
Ez-6 isn’t coming to North America…
Kirk, let's forget the "concept" autos. In reality the final product (S) never look like the "concept" vehicles. One prime example is the 2025 Toyota Camry. Need I say anymore?
Somebody let me know how much it’s gonna cost
That's alot of $$$ being spent by Honda on EVs. I keep hearing that EVs are dead.
Good thumbnail. Focus on the vehicle. No silly faces
It's a rebadged Changan deepal SL03
i don’t want the ez6… front looks good, side looks okay (back windows give me cx90 vibes), back looks ugly (busy taillights with that stupid dotty bar in the top middle of them)
Oh - My - Gosh - !!!!! Please, take my money! Ship me that Mazda sedan NOW!!!!
I hope the design of that Mazda sedan isn’t definitive. Doesn’t look as good as the current (clean & simple design) Mazda models to be honest.
I hope what Mazda is planning for North America is not electric....???!?!?
By 2027 (heck, by 2025) the EV tax credit law could be completely changed by congress. They could scrap the requirements for battery mineral sourcing, and even where the vehicle is manufactured! Imagine, all these companies building factories in the U.S., then the law changes to allow Japanese vehicles qualify. LOL!!!
If only they bring in new rwd Mazda 6 touring
The deepal sl03 looks better. The new 6 looks awkwardly proportioned. Like it was designed to be a shooting brake/wagon before the designers decided they wanted a sedan instead.
