The price is exposed! Mazda EZ-6 new energy shock strikes, causing industry shock

Recently, some netizens posted a Changan Mazda EZ-6 purchase invoice. According to the invoice, the purchased model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model, priced at 221,800 yuan. This news quickly ignited the market’s enthusiasm for this new model. Many people believe that the EZ-6, as Changan Mazda’s first new energy product and the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market to provide extended range power, this price is very likely to be true and has a huge impact on the market.

The authenticity of the invoice has caused a heated discussion on the Internet. According to the pictures released, the invoice for this car purchase was issued on August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Generally speaking, when a new car is launched, there will be a complete time advancement process within the car company. Especially for a joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, it requires joint decision-making between China and Japan. Therefore, it is not surprising that the price is agreed 2 months in advance. Judging from the information of the billing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., the invoice is unlikely to be fake, and it is very likely that it was internally leaked. Therefore, the credibility of this invoice is very high, and the price shown is very likely to be the real price of the EZ-6.

In fact, since the debut of the EZ-6 at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, this car has quickly become the hottest sedan in the joint venture new energy field. Its high attention is not only due to its trendy and avant-garde design, but also because it is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that offers extended range power options, making up for the gap in the joint venture new energy field.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2895mm. With frameless doors and hatchback design, although the shape is modern, the through taillights and the 4 round gun downlights on both sides can still see the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements. In terms of power, the EZ-6 is available in two forms: pure electric and extended range, both of which use a 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, 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. The extended range vehicle can achieve a super long range of more than 1300km on a single charge, plus a tank of oil.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 is not inferior, 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, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other advanced technologies. There are also rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights, zero-gravity seats and other configurations.

From the price of the product and other models, the price positioning of the EZ-6 is very reasonable. Only from the known information, the EZ-6 has far exceeded the joint venture models of the same level in terms of configuration. As a joint venture pure electric intermediate car, compared with the same level of Tesla, the price of about 300,000, and the starting price of Volkswagen ID.7 of 227,700 yuan, the EZ-6 pure electric version is only 221,800 yuan, which is quite cost-effective.

Mazda’s previous pricing strategy has been known for being close to the people. It is expected that the price of the EZ-6 will fall between 18-240,000 yuan. If some preferential policies are introduced in the pre-sale, the pressure on other joint venture new energy models on the market will be further increased. According to reliable news, the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and be officially launched at the end of October. It is foreseeable that the addition of the EZ-6 will change the entire joint venture new energy vehicle market pattern.

In short, the price leak of Changan Mazda EZ-6, whether true or false, has brought a lot of shock to the market. It not only represents an important step for Changan Mazda to enter the new energy market, but also shows its latest achievements in intelligence and electrification. The next pre-sale and official listing will surely become the focus of attention of all parties, and all answers will be revealed soon.
