commercial vehicle suitable for daily commuting, light business travel, and outdoor camping trips. Its rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout balances agile handling with spacious seating. Pure electric power reduces daily operating costs, while the extended-range architecture eliminates long-distance charging anxiety. Integrating Mazda's KODO design philosophy and Jinba Ittai (horse and rider as one) handling tuning, it stands out as a distinctive
New Car in the 150,000 RMB-level joint-venture extended-range SUV segment. Compared to various
Used Cars on the market with varying conditions, this factory-new car boasts a battery, motor, and chassis without any wear and tear. It comes with a complete official warranty, avoiding the common repair costs associated with used extended-range vehicles such as battery degradation, wiring defects, and interior wear and tear. Year of the Horse-themed details enhance its unique quality, combining family comfort, driving pleasure, and business elegance. It's the ideal new car for families who appreciate joint-venture quality and seek all-around mobility.
The vehicle features an iterative KODO design, with a closed-off dot-matrix front fascia paired with slender digital headlights. The smooth, flowing lines of this mid-size SUV are complemented by hidden door handles. Exclusive commemorative trim for the Year of the Horse edition adorns the body, resulting in a refined and sophisticated overall style. Without any ostentatious or superfluous elements, it's understated and elegant for everyday commuting, and exudes a refined and high-end aura for picking up clients or short trips. The wheelbase provides superior interior space while optimizing steering agility. Navigating city rush hour and parking in tight underground parking spaces won't feel cumbersome like a large vehicle. The ground clearance is well-suited for paved roads, eliminating the need to consciously slow down or avoid speed bumps and shallow potholes. The factory-applied multi-layered metallic paint is smooth and even, free from the scratches, paint color discrepancies, and bodywork repair issues commonly found in used cars. Multiple natural color options are available. The rear features a dynamic, continuous taillight design that creates a rich visual effect when illuminated at night. The uniform gaps between parts throughout the vehicle showcase Mazda's meticulous manufacturing process.
The interior features a minimalist aesthetic, embracing a smart cockpit. A 26.45-inch integrated 5K screen is paired with a 3D AR-HUD head-up display. Powered by a high-performance automotive-grade chip, operation is smooth and lag-free. Multi-zone AI voice control allows for navigation, audio-visual entertainment, and dual-zone climate control. Convenient physical buttons are retained for easy blind operation while driving, reducing driver distraction. Large areas of soft leather combined with faux suede are used in the elbow rest areas. Ergonomic sports seats offer balanced support and comfort, reducing back pain and fatigue on long drives. Exclusive embroidered logos for the Year of the Horse are featured throughout the interior, enhancing the overall ambiance. Multiple layered storage compartments and an electronic gear selector create a complete central storage platform, neatly accommodating briefcases, electronic devices, and water bottles. The standard five-seat layout eliminates the cramped third row, with minimal rear floor hump, allowing three adults to ride comfortably without feeling confined. The trunk is square and well-organized, and the seats can be folded flat to expand the storage area significantly. Combined with an onboard power outlet, luggage, camping equipment, and large shopping supplies can all be stored and powered, balancing comfortable seating with practicality for family use.
The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L high-efficiency range extender paired with a rear-mounted high-power drive motor. The entire powertrain balances smoothness and handling power. Initial acceleration is quiet and linear thanks to the electric motor, while mid-range overtaking power is ample. Even with a full load of passengers and the air conditioning on, the power doesn't feel sluggish. A 200km pure electric range is sufficient for several days of urban commuting, requiring almost no fuel for daily driving, resulting in extremely low travel costs. For weekend long-distance trips, the range extender provides additional power, ensuring a stable and reliable overall range. Frequent charging station searches are unnecessary; regular 92-octane gasoline is sufficient, and fuel consumption is mild even when the battery is depleted. The chassis features a front MacPherson strut and rear five-link independent suspension, inheriting the exclusive Jinba Ittai tuning, coupled with variable damping suspension. Comfort mode effectively filters out minor road bumps, while Sport mode tightens the suspension to suppress body roll during cornering. Upgraded multi-layer sound insulation materials throughout the vehicle effectively suppress wind and road noise at high speeds, creating a quiet and comfortable driving environment. The superior quality of this joint-venture chassis is evident.
The vehicle is in brand new, zero-destruction factory condition. The range extender, battery, electronic control system, and chassis show no signs of wear and tear. Purchase includes a multi-year manufacturer's warranty, with long-term dedicated protection for the three-electric system. Changan Mazda's nationwide service network is extensive, with transparent routine maintenance procedures and affordable parts pricing. Compared to used cars, there's no need to worry about potential problems such as mechanical wear, battery degradation, or aging wiring caused by previous aggressive driving. Simply fill up the tank and charge to drive off immediately, saving the significant expenses of
Used Car inspections, chassis repairs, and interior refurbishments. Mazda models retain their value stably, resulting in less depreciation when you trade it in later.
As a limited-edition model for the Year of the Horse, it boasts a balanced combination of safety and convenience features. A full suite of multi-directional airbags, E-ZERO intelligent navigation assistance, active braking, and a 540-degree panoramic camera comprehensively mitigate driving risks. Comfort features such as a panoramic sunroof, power tailgate, keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, and exclusive ambient lighting are all included. Without unnecessary frills, it perfectly meets the diverse real-world needs of family use, errands, and outdoor adventures.
Overall, this new Mazda EZ-60 Year of the Horse edition features rich commemorative details, a spacious and practical mid-size SUV interior, excellent handling thanks to its rear-wheel-drive chassis, range-extender system to eliminate range anxiety, and low operating costs for daily commuting, making it suitable for both urban commuting and long-distance road trips. With the same budget, compared to used range-extended SUVs with varying conditions, the new car boasts brand-new factory condition, a long-term battery warranty, a full set of Year of the Horse exclusive kits, and a mature joint venture mechanical architecture, ensuring worry-free ownership. It is suitable for young families, working professionals, and consumers who value joint venture aesthetics, handling, and long-term peace of mind. It is a high-quality new car in the 150,000 RMB joint venture mid-size range-extended SUV segment, combining good looks, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
