Recently, some netizens posted a Changan Mazda EZ-6 purchase invoice. The invoice shows that the purchased model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model with a price of 221,800 yuan. This news has aroused widespread attention and discussion. As Changan Mazda’s first new energy product and the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market to provide range extension power, many people believe that this pricing is highly reliable, and it also indicates that Changan Mazda is on the rise in the new energy market.
Judging from the pictures released, the invoice date of this car purchase invoice is August 16, more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Normally, a new car is launched, and the car company has a complete time advancement process. For a joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, it is not surprising that China and Japan need to make joint decisions, and it is not surprising that the price is agreed two months in advance. In addition, although sensitive information such as the invoice code is coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., this invoice does not look like a forgery, and it is likely to be internal. Therefore, the invoice itself is highly reliable, and the price of the product shown in the invoice is very likely to be the real price of the EZ-6.
In fact, since the EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, this model has quickly become a hot model in the field of joint venture new energy vehicles. On the one hand, it stands at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field in terms of styling design, and on the other hand, because the EZ-6 is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan that provides extended range power options, making up for the gap in the field of extended range power for the joint venture brand.
From the perspective of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485mm respectively, the wheelbase is 2895mm, and it adopts a frameless door and hatchback design. Although the shape is more new and energy-oriented, the through taillights and the four round gun downlights on both sides can still see the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements. This design not only continues the brand tradition, but also caters to the modern consumer’s pursuit of fashion and technology.
In terms of power, according to the information currently exposed, the EZ-6 has two forms of pure electric and extended range, and adopts a rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, and the extended range version models use the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are also exactly the same. In terms of battery life, according to the battery pack capacity, the range of the pure electric model is 480km and 600km respectively, while the extended range vehicle can achieve a long range of more than 1300km on a single charge plus a tank of fuel. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for consumers who often need long-distance travel.
In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 is also not willing to be left behind. It is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating central control screen with full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display. In addition, advanced driver assistance functions such as 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, and automatic parking are readily available. In addition, there are rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights, zero-gravity seats, and other configurations in the same level. This rich configuration makes the EZ-6 highly competitive in the joint venture new energy B-class car market.
From the perspective of product and other model prices, the price of Changan Mazda EZ-6 seems to be very reasonable. From the known information alone, the EZ-6 is far superior to the same level of joint venture models in terms of configuration. Moreover, as a joint venture pure electric mid-range car, compared with the price of Tesla and Volkswagen ID7, the price of EZ-6 is only 221,800 yuan, which is very competitive.
Combined with Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, it can be expected that the final market price of the EZ-6 will be between 18-240,000. If the pre-sale brings some preferential policies, then other joint venture new energy models on the market will face a lot of pressure. It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and officially go on sale at the end of October. All the mysteries will be revealed soon, let us wait and see.
