Mazda updates EZ-60 SUV in China with new LiDAR technology

Changan Mazda has launched updated versions of the EZ-60 mid-size SUV in China, introducing new variants equipped with LiDAR technology to enhance advanced driver assistance capabilities. The updated lineup includes four new LiDAR-equipped variants, featuring a roof-mounted Hesai ATX LiDAR with a 200-meter detection range.

These sensors work in conjunction with three millimeter-wave radars, 11 high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars to provide a forward detection range exceeding 250 meters. The technology supports navigation-assisted autopilot (NOA) for both highway and urban driving, including lane changes, junction navigation, and automated parking.

The vehicle is available in both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) configurations. The BEV version utilizes a 77.94 kWh LFP battery, while the EREV version employs a 1.5-liter generator. In China, limited-time pricing for the new models ranges from 113,900 yuan to 166,900 yuan.
