Mazda 6e has just been priced in Australia and will start from AUD49,990 (RM138,290.00) before on-road costs.
This Mazda 6e is Mazda’s first mainstream electric vehicle and is available for pre-order at Mazda dealers across Australia offering cutting-edge technology, sophisticated styling and exceptional value for money for Australian customers.
The all-electric sedan is due to hit Aussie roads in July of this year, as an important model for Mazda in Australia.
It is priced in close proximity to some of its key rivals, such as the BYD Seal and the recently launched Kia EV4. Both those cars have significantly more expensive high-spec models, with Mazda’s top-spec Atenza grade starting from AUD 52,990.
Mazda is offering a free upgrade to the Atenza grade for the first 300 customers to pre-order the GT variant.
The Mazda 6e will exclusively offer a RWD electric motor, that delivers up to190 kW of power and a maximum of 290 Nm of torque. The system offers a frugal combined energy consumption of 15.9kWh/100km, and boasts a WLTP driving range of up to 560km from the 78kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery.
Equipped with a CCS Type-2 charging port, the Mazda 6e is capable of DC charging from 30 – 80 percent in as little as fifteen minutes.
This means it has roughly 100km more WLTP range than the Kia EV4 and the BYD Seal.
The 6e is based on the Deepal L07 from Mazda’s joint venture partner, which is a Chinese-built model not on sale in Australia.
On the inside, the 6e has a 10.2-inch digital driver display and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen, with heated and ventilated front seats as standard. The GT variant can be optioned with a beige interior trim for an extra AUD 1,000.
The 6e will be followed by the CX-6e SUV coming to Australia later in the year as an electric SUV.
The CX-6e and the 6e will be Mazda’s first electric models since the discontinued MX-30 in 2024, and the first Chinese-built Mazdas sold in Australia.
There are seven sophisticated colours available to choose from including a premium paint selection of Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Machine Grey Metallic and Polymetal Grey Metallic. Crystal White Pearl, Deep Crystal Blue Mica, Jet Black Mica and Aero Grey Metallic complete the range.
