Recently, a car purchase invoice that has attracted widespread attention has been hotly debated in the automotive community. The invoice shows that the model purchased by the buyer is the EZ-6 pure electric BEV version of Changan Mazda, priced at 221,800 yuan. As the first new energy model launched by Changan Mazda and the only model equipped with range-extending power in the joint venture B-class car market, this price seems to be loud and significant. So, is this invoice credible? Is the price contained real? What exactly is this car worth looking forward to?
First of all, let’s verify the authenticity of this invoice. According to the pictures released, the invoice date for the purchase of the car is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. For the normal operation process of the new car launch of the car company, especially for the joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, the period of joint decision-making between China and Japan is long and complicated, and the pricing two months in advance is obviously reasonable. In addition, although sensitive information such as the invoice code is coded and concealed, from the information of the invoice party and the situation with the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., the invoice has a high possibility of authenticity. Therefore, the price of 221,800 yuan shown on the invoice is very likely to be the actual price of the EZ-6.
In fact, since the EZ-6 made its debut at the Beijing Auto Show in 2024, it has quickly become a hot player in the joint venture new energy field. This is not only because of its styling and design standing on the cutting edge, but also because it is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan field to provide extended range power, filling the gap in the market.
Let’s take a closer look at the product highlights of the EZ-6. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 reach 4921/1890/1485mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2895mm. It adopts the popular frameless door and hatchback design. Although its shape is more new and energy-oriented, the through-type tail lights and the four round gun downlights on both sides still retain the classic design elements of Mazda.
In terms of power, the EZ-6 provides both pure electric and extended range driving forms, and adopts a rear-drive layout. According to the available information, the power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, while the extended range version is equipped with the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are exactly the same as the pure electric version. In terms of battery life, the pure electric model of the EZ-6 provides 480km and 600km of battery pack capacity respectively. The extended range version can achieve a long range of more than 1300km under the condition of a single charge and a tank of fuel.
In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 also performs well. It is equipped with Qualcomm’s third-generation Snapdragon 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating center control screen, full LCD instrument panel, AR-HUD head-up display, 360-degree panoramic image and 180-degree panoramic chassis. In addition, it is also equipped with high-tech functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance and automatic parking. In addition, the rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights and zero-gravity seats in the same level are more than a few points for the EZ-6.
Based on the above configuration and functions, the price of the EZ-6 at 221,800 yuan is reasonable. As a joint venture pure electric mid-range car, the price of the EZ-6 is obviously more affordable than the price of the same level Tesla Model 3 (starting from about 300,000 yuan), BMW i3 (the same price) and Volkswagen ID7 (starting from 227,700 yuan). In addition, given Mazda’s consistent pricing strategy, it is expected that the price range of the EZ-6 will be between 18-240,000 yuan. If the pre-sale stage can also bring a series of preferential policies, it is obvious that the EZ-6 will form a huge competitive pressure on other joint venture new energy models in the market after its launch.
According to the latest news, the EZ-6 will officially start pre-sale on September 28th and is expected to be available at the end of October. Let’s wait and see if this car can stand out in the fierce market competition!
