Mazda EZ-6 price exposure： B-class new energy vehicle market disruptor turned out？

Recently, some netizens posted a Changan Mazda EZ-6 purchase invoice, showing that the purchased model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model, priced at 221,800 yuan. This information has triggered widespread discussion, and many people believe that as Changan Mazda’s first new energy product, especially as the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that provides range-extending power, this price is mostly true. And the arrival of this car may make no small waves in the market.

Judging from the pictures released, the invoice date for this car purchase is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Normally, when a new car is launched, the car company has a complete time advancement process. For a joint venture car company like Changma, it is not surprising that both China and Japan need to make joint decisions and agree on the price 2 months in advance. In addition, although the invoice code and other sensitive information are coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., this invoice does not look fake and is likely to be internally leaked. Therefore, the invoice itself is highly reliable and most likely reflects the true selling 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 car in the joint venture new energy field. The reason why it has attracted widespread attention both inside and outside the industry is that its design stands at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field, and on the other hand, the EZ-6 is the only model in the joint venture B-class car market that provides range extension power options, making up for the gap in the joint venture new energy in the range extension field.

In terms 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-type tail lights, four round gun downlights on both sides, can still see the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements. In terms of power, according to the information currently exposed, the EZ-6 has two forms: pure electric and extended range, 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, according to the capacity of the battery pack, the cruising range of pure electric models is 480km and 600km respectively; a single charge and a tank of fuel for an extended range vehicle can achieve a long range of over 1300km.

In terms of smart configuration, the EZ-6 can be said to have everything. It is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating center control screen with full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display system. In addition, this car also supports 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance and automatic parking functions. Even more surprising is that the EZ-6 also has luxury features such as rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights and zero-gravity seats.

If you look at the price comparison between the product and other models, the price of the EZ-6 is very reasonable. From the known information alone, the EZ-6 has already dumped a large part of the joint venture in terms of configuration. As a joint venture pure electric B-class car, compared with the same level of Tesla, the price of about 300,000, and the starting price of Volkswagen ID7 of 227,700 yuan, the EZ-6 pure electric version is only 221,800 yuan, which is quite competitive.

According to Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, it is expected that the final market price of the EZ-6 will fall between 18-240,000 yuan. If the pre-sale stage brings some preferential policies, then the existing 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. Everything is waiting for the answer to be revealed.

This is certainly exciting news for potential owners and car enthusiasts. What do you think of the pricing and product configuration of Changan Mazda EZ-6? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.
