As an important achievement of the cooperation between Changan Mazda and Changan Automobile, the EZ-6 is a model of the joint venture 2.0 model. Under this model, the two parties jointly integrate their respective superior resources to achieve comprehensive synergy from product technology to market channels. On the basis of maintaining Mazda’s unique design style, "one-in-one" driving pleasure and top safety performance, the EZ-6 integrates Changan Automobile’s world-leading electrification and intelligent technology, bringing users a more excellent driving experience.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the EZ-6 provides two power options: pure electric BEV and extended-range REEV, which is the first in the joint venture B-class car market. This innovative measure not only meets the diverse needs of consumers for new energy vehicles, but also demonstrates Changan Mazda’s deep accumulation in the field of new energy technology.

In terms of intelligence, the EZ-6 also performs well. The vehicle is equipped with 4 megapixel high definition panoramic cameras and 12 high-performance ultrasonic radars, which can identify a variety of parking spaces and realize intelligent functions such as automatic parking and tracking reversing. The addition of these high-tech configurations allows the EZ-6 to provide users with a convenient driving experience while further enhancing its market competitiveness.

For Changan Mazda, the launch of the EZ-6 is not only an affirmation of its own technical strength and market insight, but also a firm implementation of its future development strategy. With the increasing maturity of the new energy vehicle market and the continuous upgrading of consumer demand, Changan Mazda will continue to increase investment and research and development in the field of new energy, and launch more new energy vehicle products that meet market demand.

Looking to the future, Changan Mazda will continue to deepen and innovate in the field of new energy vehicles, starting from the successful launch of the EZ-6, to bring consumers more high-quality, environmentally friendly and intelligent travel options. At the same time, with the continuous deepening and development of the joint venture 2.0 model, Changan Mazda will also usher in a broader development space and better development prospects.
