With the MAZDA EZ 60, Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd. secures Design of the Year at the 2025 MUSE Design Awards through confident form and forward thinking engineering.

The electric vehicle conversation has shifted and it is no longer only about range or charging speed, but about how a car makes people feel the moment it glides past. Drivers today are drawn to vehicles that reflect a new mindset, one that values sustainability without giving up style or driving pleasure. In this exciting wave of change, the MAZDA EZ 60 by Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd. stands confidently at the forefront, recognized as one of the 2025 MUSE Design of the Year for a design that feels effortlessly modern, purposeful and alive with possibility.

The EZ 60 marks a decisive evolution of MAZDA’s KODO Soul of Motion design in the electric era, translating a philosophy once rooted in combustion performance into a new language shaped by airflow, light and precision. Rather than relying on nostalgia, the design feels progressive and assured, embracing clean surfaces and purposeful detailing that reflect both emotional movement and technical advancement. It signals a clear breakthrough, showing how an established design ethos can evolve without losing its spirit.

Details such as the digital rearview mirror, multiple air duct groups and the distinctive D pillar air channel are not added for spectacle, but integrated to serve both performance and aesthetics. The 3D signature wing LED light bar introduces a bold visual identity, giving the SUV a futuristic presence that feels confident and refined.

Sculpted through a full scale clay modeling process, the EZ 60 showcases a refined sense of proportion and flow. Its surfaces reflect MAZDA’s KODO Soul of Motion philosophy, allowing light and shadow to bring subtle energy to the body. The clean cut D pillar detail adds a distinctive edge, strengthening its athletic stance without overpowering the design. Every line feels purposeful, creating an SUV that is visually striking and confidently composed and unmistakably modern.

By blending aerodynamic intelligence with expressive form, the EZ 60 redefines what modern SUV design can look and feel like, bridging traditional craftsmanship with forward looking innovation in a way that feels both thrilling and thoughtfully executed.
