Mazda brings back the midsize sedan with the 6e, an all-electric liftback developed in China and destined for global markets. With real-world EV specs, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and a minimalist yet tech-packed interior, the 6e offers something rare: electric precision with Mazda’s soul.
Design & Dimensions
The 6e adapts Mazda’s Kodo design language for the EV age. It’s 4,921 MM long, 1,890 MM wide, and rides on a 2,895 MM wheelbase. Frameless doors, flush handles, 19-inch aero wheels, and a light-up grille reinforce its coupe-inspired presence. The proportions are low, taut, and unmistakably Mazda.
Powertrain & Battery Options
Mazda offers two RWD options. The base variant uses a 68.8 KWH lithium-iron phosphate battery with a rear-mounted motor producing 254 BHP and 320 NM of torque. WLTP range is 480 KM. It does 0–100 KM/H in about 7.6 seconds and supports 200 KW DC fast charging, hitting 10–80% in 22 minutes.
The long-range version runs a more energy-dense 80 KWH NMC battery. It puts out 244–245 BHP and maintains the same torque. WLTP range improved to 550 KM. Top-up from 10–80% takes 45 minutes via 95 KW DC charging. Acceleration is slightly slower at 7.8 seconds to 100 KM/H.
Interior & Tech Focus
Inside, the 6e combines minimalism with high tech. A 14.6‑inch touchscreen powered by a Snapdragon 8155 handles infotainment. Above, a 10.2‑inch digital cluster sits alongside an optional 50‑inch AR head‑up display. Controls include voice, touch and gesture input. Seating for five is aided by a panoramic roof and a rear touchscreen for climate/sunshade control. Trunk holds about 330 litres, plus approximately 70 litres in the frunk.
Handling, Safety & Structure
RWD layout with perfect 50:50 weight balance and multi‑link rear suspension deliver Mazda’s Jinba‑Ittai driving feel. Safety-wise, you get Mazda’s i‑Activsense ADAS including AEB, lane‑keep, blind‑spot and rear‑collision warning.
E‑REV Variant & Production
In China only, a range‑extender version adds a 1.5 L petrol generator. It combines a 160 kW motor with 18.9 or 28.4 kWh LFP battery packs. The total CLTC range reaches approximately 1300 KM. Pure EV versions use Changan Mazda’s EPA1 platform and are built in Nanjing.
Conclusion
Mazda’s 6e revives the midsize sedan with EV tech that matters: long actual range, fast charging, engaging drive and advanced cabin. Its modern styling, refined interior and RWD layout make it a strong option over SUVs. Arriving mid‑2025 in Europe, prices are expected from €44,900. Middle East availability has yet to be confirmed however, markets like UAE and Saudi Arabia are likely candidates. For enthusiasts aged 15‑24, the 6e offers cutting‑edge performance and clean tech in one compelling package.
