The surprise release, Changan Mazda EZ-6 price exposure, shocked the market!

Recently, some netizens posted a Changan Mazda EZ-6 car purchase invoice. The invoice shows that the purchased model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model, priced at 221,800 yuan. This news immediately triggered widespread discussion in the automotive circle. As the first new energy product under Changan Mazda, the EZ-6 is not only the only model that provides range extension power in the joint venture B-class car market, but its pricing exposure has set off a shock in the market.

First of all, we need to 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 of EZ-6 (September 28). Considering that car companies usually have a complete set of time advancement processes, for a joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, it is not surprising that China and Japan jointly decided to agree on the price 2 months in advance. In addition, although sensitive information such as invoice codes are coded, from the information of the invoice party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., the invoice is very likely to be true, and the invoice itself is very reliable. From this, it is inferred that the selling price shown on the invoice is most likely the real 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 focus of the joint venture new energy field. On the one hand, its styling design stands at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field, attracting countless eyeballs; on the other hand, as the only model in the joint venture B-class car market to provide extended range power options, it fills the gap in the joint venture new energy in the field of extended range technology.

Specifically, the EZ-6 can be said to have made great efforts in design and configuration. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485mm, the wheelbase is 2895mm, and the frameless door and hatchback design are used. These designs not only make it more in line with the modern aesthetic of new energy vehicles, but also retain the classic design elements of Mazda, such as through taillights and round gun downlights on both sides. For the power layout, the EZ-6 also has both pure electric and extended range options, both of which use rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, and the extended range version also uses a 1.5-liter range extender, which has the same power parameters. In terms of battery life, the range of pure electric models is divided into 480km and 600km according to the different battery capacity; the extended range vehicle can achieve a long range of more than 1300km by charging and adding a tank of fuel.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 is not to be outdone. The model is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, a 14.6-inch floating center control screen, a full LCD instrument panel and an AR-HUD head-up display, with 360-degree panoramic images and 180-degree panoramic chassis monitoring. In addition, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other functions, as well as rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights and zero-gravity seats in the same level, are its hardcore selling points.

From a pricing point of view, the price of the EZ-6 is indeed very competitive. As a joint venture mid-range pure electric sedan, compared to Tesla Model 3, BMW i3 and other models priced at about 300,000 yuan, as well as the Volkswagen ID.7 priced from 227,700 yuan, the price of the EZ-6 pure electric version of 221,800 yuan is very affordable. Moreover, from the known configuration, the EZ-6 has greatly led the same level of models in terms of intelligence and comfort.

Considering Mazda’s past pricing strategy, it is expected that the final price range of the EZ-6 will be between 18-240,000 yuan. If you add the preferential policies during the pre-sale period, it is likely to bring more surprises to the market and put great pressure on competitors. It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and is expected to be officially launched at the end of October. At that time, more details and market performance of this car will be gradually revealed.

Overall, the pricing of Changan Mazda EZ-6 is in line with its configuration and market positioning, and even relatively conservative. This undoubtedly injects a boost into the market and makes more consumers look forward to it. If you are interested in new energy vehicles, you may wish to continue to pay attention to the latest developments of EZ-6 to see if it can stand out in the highly competitive market.
