The Mazda EZ-6, officially launched on October 26, 2024, has quickly gained traction in the Chinese market, recording an impressive 2,445 units sold in November alone. According to Changan Mazda, this strong performance places the EZ-6 among the top three mid-size new energy sedans in the joint venture segment within China. To keep up with growing demand, production at Changan Mazda’s factory in Nanjing has been significantly increased.
The EZ-6 is a mid-size sedan with generous dimensions, measuring 4,921 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,485 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,895 mm. This ensures ample space in the cabin, which boasts a modern and luxurious design. Inside, drivers and passengers are treated to a range of advanced features, including a 14.6-inch infotainment display, a digital instrument cluster, and a 50-inch augmented reality heads-up display (AR-HUD). These systems are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chipset, ensuring smooth operation and excellent performance. Additionally, the car features a 64-color ambient lighting system, a premium 14-speaker Sony audio system, and front seats with zero-gravity reclining functionality, enhancing comfort and entertainment.
Buyers opting for the EZ-6 Intelligent Premium Edition have the opportunity to benefit from exclusive upgrade packages at discounted rates. These packages include advanced technologies such as the AR-HUD, the high-quality Sony sound system, and Michelin e-Primacy tires. Furthermore, Changan Mazda offers various incentives to attract buyers, including trade-in subsidies, lifetime zero-fuel guarantees for range-extended electric vehicle (EREV) models, and low-interest financing options.
The Mazda EZ-6 comes in two distinct powertrain configurations: a fully electric (BEV) model and a range-extended electric (EREV) version. The BEV model is equipped with a powerful 190 kW rear motor and offers two battery options, providing a driving range of either 480 km or 600 km based on CLTC standards. Notably, the battery can charge from 30% to 80% in just 15 minutes, offering convenience for users. The EREV variant combines a 1.5-liter engine producing 70 kW with a 160 kW motor, delivering a combined range of up to 1,301 km. Charging the EREV battery from 30% to 80% takes approximately 20 minutes, making it ideal for long-distance travel.
Built on Changan’s EPA hybrid platform, the EZ-6 lineup consists of seven models, with prices ranging from 139,800 yuan to 179,800 yuan (approximately 19,200 to 24,700 USD). The car is offered in both BEV and EREV versions and showcases Mazda’s signature “Kodo” design language, characterized by split headlights, LED daytime running lights, and an illuminated Mazda logo. To celebrate the launch, Changan Mazda is running special promotions during China’s “Double 12” shopping festival, which lasts until December 31, 2024.
