The Mazda EZ-6, officially launched on October 26, has made its presence in the Chinese market, achieving 2,445 units sold in November. According to Changan Madza, this performance places it among the top three mid-size new energy sedans in the joint venture category in China. Production at Changan Mazda’s Nanjing factory has been ramped up to meet demand.

The Mazda EZ-6 is built on Changan’s EPA hybrid platform, offering a lineup 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 follows Mazda’s signature “Kodo” language, featuring split headlights, LED daytime running lights, and an illuminated Mazda logo.

The EZ-6 measures 4,921 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,485 mm in height, with a 2,895 mm wheelbase. It offers a spacious interior. The cabin features 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 highlights include a 64-color lighting system, a 14-speaker Sony audio system, and zero-gravity reclining front seats.

Under the hood, the fully electric version is powered by a 190 kW rear motor with two battery options, delivering ranges of 480 km or 600 km (CLTC). Charging from 30% to 80% takes just 15 minutes. The EREV model pairs a 1.5L engine generating 70 kW with a 160 kW motor, offering a combined range of up to 1,301 km. Charging from 30% to 80% takes 20 minutes, making it versatile for long-distance travel.

Changan Mazda is running promotions during the “Double 12” shopping festival until December 31, 2024, to celebrate its debut. Buyers of the EZ-6 Intelligent Premium Edition can access discounted upgrade packages featuring advanced features such as AR-HUD, Sony sound systems, and Michelin e—e-primacy tires. Additional benefits include trade-in subsidies, lifetime zero-fuel guarantees for EREV models, and low-interest financing options.
