Mazda's new premium EV to target Tesla Model 3
Mazda’s much-anticipated Mazda6e, a sleek five-door electric hatchback, has officially taken center stage at the Brussels Motor Show. With a design philosophy of "Electrifying Design Crafted to Perfection," this BEV reimagines the beloved Mazda6 for the electric era. Set to hit UK dealerships in 2026, the Mazda6e pairs cutting-edge technology with Mazda's signature focus on driving pleasure, offering an exciting glimpse into the brand's electric future.
The Mazda6e comes with two battery options catering to diverse driving needs. The 68.8kWh version offers up to 300 miles of range and an impressive charging speed—adding 145 miles in just 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the 80kWh variant provides up to 345 miles of range, emphasizing long-distance capability with a 45-minute charge time for 10-80%. Both variants feature rear-wheel drive and a sporty driving experience, with the 258ps electric motor delivering a zippy 0-62mph in just 7.6 seconds. Mazda's attention to detail ensures the car is not only efficient but also a joy to drive.
Mazda’s Managing Director Jeremy Thomson underscores the brand's commitment to meeting evolving consumer needs. He highlights the Mazda6e as a significant step in Mazda’s "multi-solution approach," balancing electrification with current consumer demand. With mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery-electric options in the lineup, Mazda is positioning itself to thrive amidst shifting market dynamics.
And what better to pair this electrifying new addition than with a Lemac Power home EV charger? With its sleek design and seamless functionality, a Lemac Power charger ensures that your Mazda6e is always ready for its next adventure. Charge at home with confidence, knowing you’re powered by the same innovative spirit that drives Mazda forward. The future of driving is here, and it’s electrifying!
True to Mazda's Kodo Soul of Motion design philosophy, the Mazda6e is a stunner. Frameless doors, a glowing signature wing light around the grille, and integrated door handles create a modern yet refined aesthetic. The car's low roofline and coupe-inspired silhouette blend style with functionality. Notable touches like the dynamic illumination of the front grille—indicating the charging status—add a playful and futuristic vibe. Inside, premium materials, a floating console, and a panoramic roof redefine spaciousness, offering both sophistication and comfort.
The cabin is a tech haven, featuring a 14.6-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-inch instrument cluster, and an augmented reality head-up display. Mazda’s engineers in Frankfurt have tailored the car’s suspension and steering for European and UK drivers, ensuring the trademark "Mazda feel" remains intact. The Mazda6e is more than just a vehicle; it’s a meticulously crafted driving experience, merging practicality with cutting-edge innovation.
