Recently, some netizens posted an invoice for the purchase of Changan Mazda EZ-6, which attracted widespread attention. The invoice shows that the price of the EZ-6 pure electric BEV model purchased this time is 221,800 yuan. For Changan Mazda, this first new energy model, this price is quite attractive and competitive. As the only model in the joint venture B-class car market to provide range extension power options, the exposure of Changan Mazda EZ-6 is indeed not good.
Judging from the invoice information on the picture, the invoice date is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Usually, before a new car goes on the market, the car company will have a complete set of time to advance the process, especially for joint venture car companies like Changan Mazda that require joint decision-making between China and Japan. It is not impossible to agree on the price two months in advance. Moreover, although some sensitive information on the invoice, such as the invoice code, is coded, but from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., the authenticity of this invoice is very high, and it is likely to be internal outflow. Therefore, the price of the product on the invoice is very likely to be the true price of the EZ-6.
In fact, since its debut at the Beijing Auto Show in 2024, the EZ-6 has quickly become one of the hottest cars in the joint venture new energy field. First, in terms of styling design, the EZ-6 stands at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field, adopting a more avant-garde and futuristic design language; secondly, as the only model in the joint venture B-class car market to provide extended range power options, the EZ-6 fills the gap in the joint venture new energy in the field of extended range technology.
From the analysis of the body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485 mm, the wheelbase is 2895 mm, and the overall body ratio is quite harmonious. With frameless doors and hatchback design, although the overall shape is more new energy, in detail, the through taillights and four round gun downlights on both sides still retain the classic design elements of Mazda.
In terms of power, according to the current exposure information, the EZ-6 will launch two power options, pure electric and extended range, both with rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, and the extended range version uses the same 1.5-liter range extender, with the same power parameters of 190kW. In terms of battery life, the pure electric model has a range of 480 kilometers and 600 kilometers according to different battery capacity. The extended range version can achieve a long range of more than 1,300 kilometers under the condition of charging a tank of fuel at a time.
In terms of intelligent configuration, Changan Mazda EZ-6 is full of sincerity. It will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating center control screen, full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display. In addition, 360-degree panoramic image, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other functions are readily available, and even include Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights, zero-gravity seats and other rare configurations in the same class.
From the price comparison of the product and other models, the pricing of the EZ-6 is very competitive. Compared with the price of the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i3 of the same level of 300,000 yuan, and even the starting price of the Volkswagen ID7 of 227,700 yuan, the price of the EZ-6 pure electric version 221,800 yuan is very reasonable and attractive. Its rich configuration and long battery life will undoubtedly attract a large number of consumers who have requirements for price and performance.
Based on Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, it is expected that the final price of the EZ-6 will fall between 18-240,000 yuan. If some attractive policies are attached during the pre-sale period, it will not only further enhance its market competitiveness, but also put great pressure on the joint venture new energy models on the market. It is reported that Changan Mazda EZ-6 will officially start pre-sale on September 28 and be officially launched at the end of October. I believe that with the passage of time, more details and final pricing of this car will gradually become clear, and car enthusiasts and potential consumers will also wait and see.
