Mazda launches its first truly global model. The Mazda6e is also coming to Europe. All information about the electric sedan!
The Mazda6e was only officially unveiled in April at Auto China (as the Mazda EZ-6) as the vanguard of Mazda's electric car offensive, which was initially only supposed to appear on the Chinese market. Now, however, Mazda has officially announced that it will also bring the electric sedan to Europe.
- Electric successor for the Mazda 6
- Joint development with Changan Automobile
- It is still unclear whether changes to the China model will come
- European premiere at the Brussels Motorshow 2025
- Start date summer 2025
The sedan will be released in Europe in two trim levels and two battery sizes and is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2025.
Mazda6e: Exterior design
The new Mazda6e is intended to exude a strong and at the same time elegant presence with soft, flowing lines. The sedan stretches over 4.92 meters and is 1.89 meters wide and 1.48 meters high. A low roofline and a short rear give the Mazda6e a coupé-like silhouette and thus underline the sporty claim. With retractable door handles and a continuous light strip, a modern component also flows into the design of the Mazda6e.
The illuminated frame around the large grille at the front provides an eye-catching light signature. The electrically extendable rear spoiler is also striking, which makes the Mazda6e even more dynamic.
From the outside, the partial Chinese origin of the Mazda6e is hardly recognizable, after all, the new electric sedan fits well into the appearance of the rest of the Mazda fleet. Above all, the familiar Mazda face at the front will be retained.
Mazda6e: Battery and drive
The Mazda6e is only sold as an electric car in Europe and comes with two different battery sizes. The Mazda6e 258 comes with a 68.8 kWh battery and 258 hp of power. This should give the electric car a range of 479 km.
The second variant is the Mazda6e 245 Long Range. With a larger 80 kWh battery, it has a range of 552 km and a maximum output of 245 hp. Both variants come with rear-wheel drive and have a top speed of 175 km/h and a towing capacity of up to 1.5 tonnes. The Mazda6e 258 can charge at up to 200 kW, while the Mazda6e 245 Long Range only has a maximum charging power of 95 kW. So the 258 charges from 10 to 80% charge within 22 minutes, while the Long Range variant takes 45 minutes.
Mazda6e: Interior and infotainment
As well as the Mazda6e fits into the Mazda design on the outside, it is different in the interior. A large, central 14.6-inch screen as the heart of the infotainment bears a clear Chinese signature. The 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster is also large, as is the head-up display, which can project its information up to 50 inches into the driver's field of vision. The cargo space is not quite as generous with 330 (or 700 liters with the seats folded down) liters in the trunk and 70 liters in the frunk.
A panoramic glass roof provides plenty of light in the interior, which aims to create an open, light feeling for the passengers with a floating center console. For the digital connection of the car to your own mobile phone, there is a smartphone app in which you can pre-air condition the vehicle or plan your charging stops in advance. With nine airbags and numerous safety and assistance systems, the Mazda6e also ensures the safety of the passengers. However, it is not yet known whether the European version will also include the full range of the assistance systems of the Chinese variant (Level 2.5 Autonomous Driving, Autonomous Parking).
Mazda6e: sales launch and price
The Mazda6e is scheduled to arrive at German dealerships in the summer of 2025, as soon as we have more concrete data, we will keep you posted. There is also no fixed price yet, Mazda has announced that the list price will be around 45,000 euros.
