Mazda Australia, with the backing of Mazda Finance, is helping customers make the transition to electrified motoring with greater confidence, certainty and flexibility.

While new electric vehicle purchases continue to grow, future vehicle value and ownership costs remain uncertain when compared to internal combustion alternatives, and are among the most common considerations for Australians exploring first-time EV ownership.

Mazda Finance offers support to customers transitioning to an EV through a range of tailored finance solutions designed to suit a variety of lifestyles and ownership needs. Customers can personalise their finance arrangements through flexible deposit options, loan terms, repayment frequencies and balloon payment structures.

For customers seeking greater certainty at the conclusion of their finance agreement, Mazda Assured is a car loan product that includes a Guaranteed Future Value* (GFV), providing the assurance of knowing the value of their Mazda to Mazda Finance at the end of the agreed loan term.

For example, with Mazda Assured, a Mazda 6e GT financed over a three-year term with a 20,000-kilometre annual allowance carries a Guaranteed Future Value of $20,420, subject to fair wear and tear conditions being met.

At the conclusion of the agreed loan term, customers will have the choice of three options – trade their vehicle in for a new Mazda, retain ownership by paying or refinancing the final balloon payment (subject to standard lending criteria), or return the vehicle to their Mazda dealer and Mazda Finance will apply the GFV against the outstanding balance (subject to fair wear and tear conditions) – providing the utmost flexibility.

Commenting on the added certainty, Mazda Australia Marketing and Sales Director, Jarrod Gieschen, said: “Mazda Australia is committed to helping customers approach electric vehicle ownership with increased confidence as they make the transition to the next generation of mobility.  

“We understand that the EV buying process is new and can be overwhelming for our customers, but rest assured, this is business as usual for us and our dealers – we’re here to support them with over 60 years of experience,” Gieschen said.

*The GFV amount is determined by Mazda Finance at the start of your loan. If you decide to return your car to Mazda Finance at the end of your loan, we will apply the GFV against your outstanding balance, subject to fair wear and tear conditions and agreed kilometres being met. If you decide to keep your car, you will be required to make a balloon final payment, which is initially set to the GFV. The balloon final payment may change over the loan term if repayments are not made in accordance with your repayment schedule. Terms, conditions, fees, charges & lending criteria apply. Approved applicants only. Mazda Finance is a division of Australian Alliance Automotive Finance Pty Limited ABN 63 002 407 703, Australian Credit Licence 513747.
