  "account": "Mazda has unveiled a dedicated electric vehicle showroom in Singapore on Friday (October 16), marking the first of its kind for a Japanese brand in the Republic. The 322 square metre facility, situated near the Alexandra/Leng Kee automotive belt at 1 Kung Chong Road, will showcase five cars, including the Mazda 6e sedan and the CX-6e sport utility vehicle. The latter is set to begin official sales in the coming months. Jason Lim, managing director for Mazda Singapore, emphasized that the Mazda EV Studio aims to demonstrate the brand's commitment to electrification and its plans to offer a range of models, from fully electric to hybrid, in the future. Despite facing challenges in open markets and places with EV rebates, Mazda has taken steps to introduce EV models to Singapore and other markets. The brand launched the MX-30 EV in Singapore in 2023, though sales were limited due to its limited range and high cost. Mazda has also registered 54 of its 6e models in Singapore to date. The company is expected to debut fully developed EVs in 2029 and is streamlining its operations in Singapore after closing a showroom and service centre in September.",
