Mazda 6e — key facts
The Mazda 6e is Mazda’s new fully electric large liftback/sedan for Europe. It was announced for European dealer arrival in summer 2025, and Mazda positions it as a rear-wheel-drive EV with a strong focus on design, cabin quality, and human-machine interface. European specs can vary a bit by market and trim. (Mazda)
Dimensions and practicality
It is 4,921 mm long, 1,890 mm wide without mirrors, 1,485 mm high, with a 2,895 mm wheelbase. Cargo capacity is listed at 466 liters to the ceiling in 5-seat mode, with a 72-liter front storage area.
Powertrain and performance
From Mazda’s European press material, the 6e comes with two rear-wheel-drive single-motor setups in Europe:
- Mazda 6e: 190 kW / 258 PS
- Mazda 6e Long Range: 180 kW / 245 PS (Mazda)
In the UK spec guide for the 78 kWh version, Mazda lists:
- 258 PS / 190 kW
- 290 Nm
- 0–62 mph in 7.9 s
- top speed 109 mph
Battery, range and charging
Mazda’s January 2025 announcement for Europe said the car would be offered with 68.8 kWh and 80 kWh battery options. The 68.8 kWh version was quoted at up to 300 miles WLTP and 10–80% DC charging in 22 minutes on up to 200 kW DC, with roughly 145 miles added in 15 minutes. (uk.mazda-press.com)
A newer Mazda UK spec guide for the 78 kWh version lists:
- WLTP range: 348 miles
- WLTP city range: 436 miles
- WLTP consumption: 15.9 kWh/100 km combined
- DC 10–80%: 24 min on 195 kW
- DC 30–80%: 15 min
- AC 7.2 kW single-phase 0–100%: 11 h 48 min
Mazda’s June 2025 European press info also states combined consumption of 16.6 kWh/100 km for the 190 kW car and 16.5 kWh/100 km for the Long Range version, which suggests some market/spec-sheet variation versus the UK guide. (Mazda)
Towing and weights
For the 78 kWh UK-spec car, Mazda lists:
- Braked towing: 1,500 kg
- Unbraked towing: 750 kg
- Kerb weight: 2,015–2,090 kg
- Gross vehicle weight: 2,440 kg
Interior and tech
Mazda highlights a very tech-heavy cockpit. Key items listed in the official spec guide include:
- 14.6-inch central touchscreen
- 10.2-inch LCD driver display
- large head-up display
- 14-speaker Sony audio system
- wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- 50W air-cooled Qi wireless charging tray

Comfort features
Official equipment highlights include:
- heat pump
- 3-stage heated and ventilated front seats
- panoramic glass roof
- dual-zone climate control
- air purifier with PM2.5 filter and ion generator
Takumi vs Takumi Plus
Both trims include the big screen, Sony audio, heat pump, and core EV tech. Takumi Plus adds a more premium interior and a few comfort upgrades, including:
- premium tan Nappa leather with suede-like trim
- two-tone black/tan steering wheel
- panoramic roof with electric sunshade
- enhanced rear touchscreen functionality.
Safety
Euro NCAP published its Mazda 6e results in October 2025. The car scored:
- Adult Occupant: 93%
- Child Occupant: 93%
- Vulnerable Road Users: 74%
- Safety Assist: 77% (euroncap.com)
Euro NCAP also notes good protection in multiple crash scenarios, whiplash protection, eCall, and child-presence detection. (euroncap.com)
Pictures
My quick take: the Mazda 6e looks strongest on design, cabin quality, equipment, and practical towing, while the main thing to verify in real-world tests is actual charging performance and efficiency, since early review coverage is a bit mixed there.
