A tank of oil can run 1300km, equipped with an electric tail, analyzing the new Mazda EZ-6

?What can you think of when you think of Mazda? Soul design, curve dancers, ZOOM-ZOOM concept… Although Mazda has not been a high-selling brand in the market, it always has something to remember, and there are many horse fans, and Mazda’s cars always have a unique temperament, like this new EZ-6, which has become the first medium-sized car of a joint venture brand with a new energy dual-power system. Let’s see if this new car can still fascinate people.

A one-sentence review of the Mazda EZ-6:

While adhering to tradition, we have also come up with some exciting innovations!

Advantage:

1. The Soul design is still so good-looking, and there is also an electric rear wing

2. The rear row has a large space, and the middle floor is nearly flat

3. The interior is made of good materials and has a sense of luxury

4. Acceleration and deceleration are linear, and it is not easy to get motion sickness (extended range version)

5. The steering setting is still Mazda, and the chassis comfort is also good

Insufficient:

1. The back of the rear seat is straight

2. There are no physical buttons in the car, and the old horse powder needs to adapt.

Soul design still looks good

The Mazda EZ-6 may be the most characteristic new energy vehicle at the moment. The front of the car retains a large mouth grille, and after adding a half-circle of daytime running lights, it forms a flying wing shape together with the headlights, which also shows a difference from the previous Soul design. Anyway, it looks good.

The lines of the whole car are very smooth, and the concave and convex surface is just right. The color scheme of Soul Red can show the light and shadow effect very well, so even if this color still needs to add 2,000 yuan, it is also worth for money.

Looking at it from the side, you will find that the Mazda EZ-6’s body posture is forward dive, with 19-inch wheels and a slippery back design, which is quite dynamic.

The most attractive rear of the car is the electric rear wing, which is a pure configuration that satisfies emotional value, and with the through-type light strip and the four-round tail light group design, it is also recognizable.

Mazda’s back row has never been so abundant

Looking back, Mazda’s interior space was often its disadvantage. Looking at the rear row (black interior in the picture below), and then looking at the EZ-6, the difference is too great. Mazda has never fought such a rich battle. Suddenly, the rear row space is larger than that of its old rival. With this change, I believe it can attract many consumers.

Moreover, the Mazda EZ-6 is produced on a pure electric platform, so the rear floor is almost flat, and the middle person can ensure comfort. The seat is moderately soft and hard, and the middle part of the seat cushion and the seat back is suede, which has a higher friction coefficient and can effectively prevent skid. However, the angle of the back of the seat is straight, which affects the comfort.

The interior materials are very high-end.

In addition to the large space, the Mazda EZ-6 has a sense of luxury in the car, which is also very different from past Mazda models. The areas that you will touch every day are covered with leather and suede, and the leather touch of the two-color steering wheel is also very delicate. With the appropriate chrome trim, the refinement and advanced sense are in place.

The door panel is also covered with a large area of suede material, which is rare in a joint venture medium-sized car.

Coupled with the front integrated seats, the texture of the entire car is excellent, and the front seats are still zero gravity, allowing you to lie flat with one click, which is really convenient when you need to rest.

Acceleration and deceleration are linear, easy to drive and comfortable

The Mazda EZ-6 doesn’t really look like a new energy car. On the one hand, it’s the acceleration feeling. Mazda deliberately suppressed the explosive characteristics of the motor, or let the power follow the depth of the electric pedal step by step, which can make the occupants feel more comfortable. In fact, the 6.9-second zero-hundred acceleration of the extended-range version is already very fast, and the daily urban driving power can be said to be on call.

On the other hand, it is the experience of braking and kinetic energy recovery. Friends who have driven new energy vehicles should know that even if the kinetic energy recovery is adjusted to a weak level, they will still clearly feel its intervention after the switch is turned off. On the EZ-6, even if it is adjusted to a strong level, the intervention of kinetic energy recovery is very weak, and the vehicle will not be dragged, and the people in the car will not feel uncomfortable. With the comfort brake system, the car can completely prevent nodding at the moment it stops, which also enhances the overall comfort.

Still a curve dancer

Mazda on the EZ-6 in order to allow you to steer more delicately, by increasing the steering force and damping in the central area, you can always maintain a good steering line and consistency. Even if you are a novice, you can feel the steering wheel of the EZ-6 communicating with you when turning and trying to help you control the vehicle accurately. This is obviously different from the light direction setting common in family cars. In summary, when the car is driven, you feel that it is very obedient.

The adjustment of the EZ-6 by Mazda engineers has achieved overall acceleration without dashing, braking without nodding, cornering without dizziness, more accurate steering, millisecond-level body response, a perfect axle-to-load ratio of 50:50, an elk test speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, and a dual-shift test speed of more than 110 kilometers per hour, which also fully demonstrates Mazda’s century-old profound car building skills.

A central control screen that some people love and some people hate

Finally, let’s talk about the large screen. As a new energy vehicle, it is not surprising to have a large screen. The entire smart cockpit of the EZ-6 is also from Changan, and the use of functions including voice control is no problem. If you are a young person or if you are buying your first car, then you will like this large screen and the functions it contains.

But if you are an old Mazda owner, or other old fuel car owners, and you want to buy this EZ-6, then you definitely need to get used to the operation in the car. For example, the opening and closing of low beams and daytime running lights must be completed in the large screen, which will definitely make you uncomfortable. In fact, I have always believed that large-screen smart cars do not conflict with buttons and knobs, and use them at hand and mouth. This is also human nature. Perhaps on the day when we can really drive autonomously, we can completely abandon buttons and knobs.

edit summary

There is no doubt that Mazda EZ-6 is a joint venture new energy vehicle worthy of recommendation. Maybe you want to ask if it is the same as Changan’s brother models. I can tell you responsibly that the difference is too obvious. Mazda’s adjustment of the chassis and steering is world-class, and it is really pleasing to drive. So if the final price of the EZ-6 extended range version is around 160,000, it is really worth buying.
