Leaked or hype? EZ-6 internal invoice out, locked 18-240,000!
Recently, a user posted a suspected Changan Mazda EZ-6 car purchase invoice, which caused quite a stir. The invoice shows that the purchased model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model, priced at 221,800 yuan. As Changan Mazda’s debut in the new energy market, the EZ-6 is not only the only model in the joint venture B-class car market that provides range extension power, but also its competitiveness has attracted much attention. Therefore, the authenticity of this pricing has become the focus of discussion.
Judging from the details of the invoice, the invoice date of this car purchase invoice is August 16, more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. For car companies, there is a complete set of time advancement processes internally, especially for joint venture car companies like Changan Mazda that require joint decision-making between China and Japan. It is not surprising that the price is agreed two months in advance. Although the code on the invoice and other sensitive information are coded, 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 very likely that it was leaked internally.
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 is at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field; on the other hand, the EZ-6 is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that offers extended range power options, filling the gap in the market for such models.
Specifically, the body size of the EZ-6 is 4921mm, 1890mm and 1485mm, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2895mm. This car adopts a frameless door and a hatchback design. Although the overall shape is more new energy, details such as the through taillights and the four round barrel lights on both sides still retain the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements.
In terms of power configuration, the EZ-6 is available in both pure electric and extended range forms, with a rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, while the extended range version also uses the same 1.5-liter range extender, with the same power parameters. In terms of battery life, the range of the pure electric model is 480 kilometers and 600 kilometers respectively, depending on the battery pack capacity. The range of the extended car can exceed 1300 kilometers on a single charge and a tank of fuel.
In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, with a 14.6-inch floating center control screen and a full LCD instrument cluster. This model is also equipped with AR-HUD head-up display, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other functions. In addition, the EZ-6 is also equipped with rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights and zero-gravity seats and other comfortable features.
Only from the known information, the EZ-6 is already ahead of the joint venture models of the same level in terms of configuration. Such as Tesla, and other models are priced at about 300,000 yuan, while the starting price of the Volkswagen ID7 has also reached 227,700 yuan. In contrast, the pre-sale price of the EZ-6 pure electric version is 221,800 yuan, which is quite competitive.
Combined with Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, the price of the EZ-6 is expected to be between 18-240,000 yuan. If the pre-sale stage can also bring some special preferential policies, then the market positioning of the EZ-6 will be more stable and its competitiveness will be further demonstrated.
It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and is scheduled to be officially launched at the end of October. This time point will undoubtedly become a feedback node for the new energy market. For some consumers who plan to buy cars and practitioners in the industry, the listing of the EZ-6 is undoubtedly a "good show" that cannot be missed.
In the coming months, the performance of the EZ-6 in the market will be widely watched. Are you already looking forward to such a new car that integrates design, power and configuration? Feel free to leave your comments in the comment area.
