The Mazda EZ-6, which was officially launched on October 26, has made a significant impact in the Chinese market, with 2,445 units sold in November. This performance has positioned it among the top three mid-size new energy sedans in the joint venture category in China. To meet the growing demand, production at Changan Mazda’s Nanjing factory has been increased.
The Mazda EZ-6 is constructed on Changan’s EPA hybrid platform and offers a range of seven models with prices ranging from 139,800 to 179,800 yuan (approximately 19,200 to 24,700 USD). It is available in fully electric (BEV) and range-extended (EREV) versions. The design of the EZ-6 follows Mazda’s signature “Kodo” language, featuring split headlights, LED daytime running lights, and an illuminated Mazda logo.
Measuring 4,921 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,485 mm in height, with a 2,895 mm wheelbase, the EZ-6 offers a spacious interior. The cabin is equipped with a 14.6-inch infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, and a 50-inch AR heads-up display (AR-HUD) powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chipset. Other notable features include a 64-color lighting system, a 14-speaker Sony audio system, and zero-gravity reclining front seats.
The fully electric version of the EZ-6 is powered by a 190 kW rear motor with two battery options, offering ranges of 480 km or 600 km (CLTC). Charging from 30% to 80% takes just 15 minutes. The EREV model combines a 1.5L engine generating 70 kW with a 160 kW motor, providing a combined range of up to 1,301 km. Charging from 30% to 80% takes 20 minutes, making it suitable for long-distance travel.
Changan Mazda is currently offering promotions during the “Double 12” shopping festival until December 31, 2024, to celebrate the launch of the EZ-6. Buyers of the EZ-6 Intelligent Premium Edition can take advantage of discounted upgrade packages that include advanced features such as AR-HUD, Sony sound systems, and Michelin e-primacy tires. Additional benefits include trade-in subsidies, lifetime zero-fuel guarantees for EREV models, and low-interest financing options.
