In July and August this year, the penetration rate of domestic new energy vehicles exceeded 50%, marking that the industry has entered a new stage and the competition will be more intense.Compared with self-owned brand car companies, overseas car companies are generally slower to transition to new energy, which has also affected the launch pace and product sales of joint venture new energy vehicles.
At the press conference, Changan Mazda repeatedly mentioned that Mazda EZ-6 multiple configurations and functions are the only joint venture car with the same domestic car, revealing the anxiety and tension of the joint venture brand. On this occasion, Mazda also needs more competitive products to achieve Changan Mazda’s domestic annual sales target of 300,000 cars.
