This is the Mazda EZ-6, a rear-wheel drive D-segment sedan developed in partnership with Changan. It looks like a successor to the Mazda 6, but it’s not, as this is a China-only model.

Toyota Motor Thailand has just launched what is believed to be the 2023 Toyota Vios this morning. Actually, this model is known as the 2023 Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand. While it was originally thought that the Toyota Vios and the Yaris Ativ will remain two distinct models, it is now confirmed that Toyota Thailand will cease production of the former.

Very a stun to the framework, yes.
