Recently, a Changan Mazda EZ-6 car purchase invoice has triggered heated discussions on the auto forum. The invoice shows that the purchased model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model, priced at 221,800 yuan. Many people believe that as Changan Mazda’s first new energy product, this certain price is reasonable and competitive for a joint venture B-class car market that only provides range extension power. This adds a strong touch to Changan Mazda’s important step into the new energy market.
Let’s first verify the authenticity of this invoice. According to the pictures released, the invoice date of this car purchase invoice is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. This time difference is not surprising for car companies. Car companies usually have a complete time advancement process before a new car is launched, especially in joint venture car companies, decision-making requires the joint participation of both China and Japan. Therefore, it is understandable to agree on the price two months in advance. In addition, although the key code and other information on the invoice are coded, from the information of the invoice, the information of the invoicing party and the details such as the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., can almost confirm the authenticity of this invoice. This also means that the price of 221,800 yuan shown in the invoice is likely to be the actual price of the EZ-6.
In fact, since the EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become the hottest sedan in the joint venture new energy field. From the perspective of vehicle design, the EZ-6 stands at the forefront of joint venture new energy design. It is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that offers extended range power options, filling the gap in the joint venture new energy extended range products in the market. This uniqueness makes the EZ-6 quickly attract widespread attention both inside and outside the industry.
In terms of specifications, the product power of the EZ-6 should not be underestimated. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921mm, 1890mm and 1485mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2895mm. It adopts a frameless door and a hatchback design. Although it is more new energy, the through taillights and four round gun downlights on both sides still retain the classic design elements of Mazda.
In terms of power, the EZ-6 is available in both pure electric and extended range forms, and adopts a rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, while the extended range version uses the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are exactly the same. In terms of battery life, depending on the capacity of the battery pack, the pure electric model can last between 480km and 600km, while the extended range vehicle can achieve a long battery life of more than 1300km with a single charge and a tank of fuel.
In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 is also leading the way. It is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, equipped with a 14.6-inch floating center control screen and a full LCD instrument cluster. In addition, there are high-tech configurations such as AR-HUD head-up display, 180-degree panoramic chassis, etc. Adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and a rare Sony sound system of the same level, as well as 64-color ambient lights, zero-gravity seats, etc., further enhance the sense of technology and luxury of the whole vehicle.
In terms of product power and price, the price of 221,800 yuan is very competitive for the EZ-6. Compared with the same level of models, such as Tesla’s price is close to 300,000 yuan, and the price is also about 300,000. The starting price of the Volkswagen ID7 is 227,700 yuan. The pricing of the EZ-6 is undoubtedly very reasonable and very attractive. Especially its extended range version can greatly relieve users’ "battery life anxiety", which is also its unique market advantage.
Combined with Mazda’s past pricing strategy, it is expected that the final price of the EZ-6 may fall between 180,000 and 240,000. If the pre-sale period is matched with some preferential policies, such as car purchase subsidies and low-interest loans, it will undoubtedly bring huge pressure to the existing joint venture new energy model market.
According to the latest news, the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28th and is scheduled to be officially launched at the end of October. As the pre-sale and launch date approaches, more details and official pricing will be revealed.
The upcoming launch of the Changan Mazda EZ-6 signals a strong competitor in the field of new energy. Can the EZ-6 make waves in the market and trigger a consumer car buying boom? Let’s wait and see. Readers are welcome to share their views and expectations for this car in the comment area.
