Mazda Australia is aiming to ease concerns around electric vehicle ownership by expanding finance options for buyers considering its new EV range, including the recently launched Mazda 6e.
The company, backed by Mazda Finance, has announced a renewed focus on providing greater certainty around future vehicle values and ownership costs through its Mazda Assured finance product, which includes a Guaranteed Future Value (GFV).
Mazda Assured aims to reduce EV ownership uncertainty
According to Mazda, uncertainty around resale values and long-term ownership costs remains one of the biggest barriers for Australians considering the switch from petrol or diesel vehicles to electric cars.
Under the Mazda Assured program, customers can customise their finance arrangements with flexible deposits, loan terms, repayment schedules and balloon payment options.
The standout feature is the Guaranteed Future Value, which establishes a predetermined value for the vehicle at the end of the finance term, provided agreed conditions are met.
Mazda says a Mazda 6e GT financed over three years with an annual allowance of 20,000 kilometres carries a Guaranteed Future Value of $20,420.

What happens at the end of the finance term?
At the end of the agreement, customers can choose from three options:
- Trade the vehicle for a new Mazda
- Keep the vehicle by paying or refinancing the remaining balloon payment
- Return the vehicle to a Mazda dealer, with Mazda Finance applying the Guaranteed Future Value against the outstanding balance, subject to fair wear and tear conditions
Mazda says this approach gives customers more flexibility and certainty when planning EV ownership.
Mazda says EV buyers need more confidence
Mazda Australia Marketing and Sales Director Jarrod Gieschen said the program is designed to help customers feel more comfortable transitioning to electric vehicles.
“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.”
The announcement comes as Mazda continues to grow its electrified vehicle lineup in Australia, with the Mazda 6e representing the latest step in the brand’s EV rollout.
