Based on up to 20,000 RMB national subsidy and 17,000 RMB factory subsidy, purchasing designated models enjoys an exclusive premium package worth 7,999 RMB.
Global Vehicle Strength Endorsement, Setting a New Energy Value Benchmark
EZ-6 and EZ-60 were built from the beginning of product development with global standards. In terms of design, EZ-6 won the "2026 World Car of the Year Design" award, becoming the first Chinese new energy model to receive this honor. EZ-60 is even the only SUV globally to win 8 world-class top design awards simultaneously. Regarding safety, both models were built strictly according to China-Europe dual five-star standards. EZ-6 obtained 5 authoritative safety certifications including C-NCAP, E-NCAP, etc. EZ-60 battery safety meets new national standards and European standards in advance. Changan Mazda further promised all new energy users: "Lifetime fire compensation for batteries, no mileage limit, no owner limit".
In terms of handling, EZ-60 successfully took the championship in the SUV group of the venue race and the runner-up in the overall race results of the China New Energy Vehicle Rally Championship, verifying its ultimate handling strength. At the auto show site, Changan Mazda owner and also champion driver Ji Hao shared his journey of driving the original factory unmodified pure electric EZ-60 to compete in the China New Energy Vehicle Rally Championship. In the 6-day 910-kilometer devil schedule, facing competition from the vast majority of extended-range/ plug-in hybrid participating models, relying on EZ-60's ultimate quality stability and "human-machine integration" tuning, broke through from 100 participating cars of 27 brands, completing the extreme verification of EZ-60's original factory mass-produced car performance.

At the end of May, more than 80 overseas dealers from Europe, Australia, and Thailand specially visited the Nanjing factory, giving high praise to the production process and quality control system. Currently, sales and pre-sale trends for EZ-6 and EZ-60 overseas continue to be positive.

Adhering to "User+" Thinking, Building a Value Community Between Brand and Users
The 5 million users in the Chinese market are partners in the development of the Changan Mazda brand and co-creators of value. In 2026, Changan Mazda will continue to practice "User+" thinking, launching a series of user co-creation activities, building a multi-dimensional, full-lifecycle user ecosystem, making the promise of "Still Mazda" not only reflected in the value details of products but also integrated into emotional resonance with every user. For users and Mazda fans who participate in Changan Mazda's series of activities, there will be opportunities to participate in the 2026 Fan Gala.
The "Wish Journey" launched at the beginning of the year, with the two-way rush of "User Wishes, Brand Support", allowed Changan Mazda to truly walk into users' lives. Behind every wish is a unique emotional connection between the user and Mazda. The "Owner Story Collection" launched cumulatively for 11 issues has become a display window for Mazda fan spirit: Here are public welfare experts who donated to poor primary schools for 7 consecutive years, love leaders who organized car clubs to care for special needs children for 4 consecutive years, and sweet couples who got to know each other because of Mazda. These real and vivid stories form the most moving background color of the Changan Mazda brand.
The "Joy Mazda Creator" and "Nationwide Broker" plans provide users with a platform to co-create brand value. Since the launch of the activities, a large number of Mazda fans who use lenses to record car ownership life and use reputation to convey product value have emerged. "Post-00s" EZ-60 owner Sun Jingyi shared her feelings as a "Joy Mazda Creator": "Usually busy with work, but can use my spare time to share driving feelings. I am a newbie, participating for the first time, but whether it's car friends or Changan Mazda staff, they will spare no effort to help me. If you are a Mazda owner, like to share and love making friends, welcome to join Joy Mazda Creator".

The second season of the "Green Seedling Plan" officially launched in May is currently entering top universities nationwide, deepening communication with young students on Changan Mazda's practical results in design, handling, safety, intelligence, and other fields. The concurrently launched EZ-60 National University Modification Design Competition not only provides opportunities for excellent works to come true creatively, but also opens summer practice and internship quotas to the broad youth, further promoting the application of learning to practice and industry-academia integration.
The practice of social responsibility also cannot be separated from the joint participation of users. Since 2015, Changan Mazda has cumulatively donated and built 12 Hope Primary Schools in Yunnan, with a total investment of over 10 million yuan, benefiting tens of thousands of teachers and students. In June, Changan Mazda launched the "Goodness in Every Kilometer" public welfare action again, transforming every user's trip into a public welfare fund, all used to improve the learning and living conditions of Hope Primary Schools, letting love be delivered on the wheels.
618 Mid-Year Mega Promotion Arrives, Multiple Benefits to Reward Users

From now until June 30, all series models launched major car purchasing gifts: Up to 17,000 RMB replacement factory subsidy and 20,000 RMB trade-in national subsidy, purchase designated models get a premium package worth 7,999 RMB (original factory charging pile + Longmo Solar Film + TPE Floor Mats/Trunk Mats), enjoy 0 down payment 5 years low interest (annual fee rate 1.99%) and lifetime zero combustion rights worth 7,999 RMB.

"Still Mazda" is never just a slogan. While inheriting the century-old brand genes, Changan Mazda always puts user needs first. Changan Mazda builds every product well with global standards, connects every user with sincerity, and provides users with "human-machine integration" driving pleasure. From June 13 to 21, the general public can visit the Changan Mazda booth at the Chongqing International Expo Center N8 Hall to experience the charm of global vehicles.
