Mazda6e: The Quiet Confidence of an Electric Future

Mazda’s first fully electric sedan for Europe doesn’t scream innovation. It doesn’t need to. The Mazda6e moves with a quiet confidence — designed not just to impress, but to endure. A five-door hatchback wrapped in the silhouette of a coupé, the Mazda6e isn’t here to chase EV trends. It’s here to refine what a driver's car should feel like in an electrified era.

This is Mazda design at its most distilled: sleek but not excessive, advanced but not overwhelming, sporty yet composed. It's a new chapter — not just in Mazda’s design legacy, but in the future of everyday electric mobility.


Exterior: Athletic Clarity

Built on Mazda’s "Authentic Modern" concept and shaped by its iconic Kodo – Soul of Motion design language, the 6e wears sculpted parallel lines and powerful rear proportions. But beneath the refined form is practical function: a wide rear hatch opening, a 72-litre frunk, and a cleverly hidden spoiler that deploys at speed.

Mazda’s new glowing signature wing flutters with subtle light animations—an elegant fusion of illumination and information, indicating charging status with visual finesse. The rear light bar features four circular elements that echo Mazda’s design heritage, while new wordmark badging replaces the brand’s traditional emblem for a modern, minimalist look.

Interior: Designed to Breathe

Inside, Mazda embraces "ma" — the Japanese philosophy of negative space. The dashboard floats, the console centers you, and the materials speak softly. Warm Nappa leather or woven suede cloth (depending on the trim) pair with ambient lighting and mono-form seats to create a cabin that feels less like a cockpit and more like a sanctuary.

Instead of digital overload, the Human-Centric smart cockpit keeps only what matters in view: a clean head-up display, customisable digital cluster, and minimal shortcut buttons on the wheel. Everything is designed to serve the driver, not distract them.

Powertrains: Choice, Without Compromise

Mazda offers two battery-electric options:

  • Standard: 68.8 kWh / 190 kW / 479 km range / 24-min DC fast charge

  • Long Range: 80 kWh / 180 kW / 552 km range / 47-min DC fast charge

Both deliver a rear-wheel-drive setup with precise, confidence-inspiring handling. A 47:53 weight balance, multilink rear suspension, and Mazda’s Jinba Ittai philosophy ensure that driving an EV still feels like driving a Mazda.


Innovation Where It Matters

From gesture control and voice command to vehicle modes like Relax Mode and Rest Mode, the 6e tailors itself to your rhythm. The Mazda6e App lets you share access, schedule charging, and prepare your cabin from anywhere.

And true to Mazda’s attention to detail, the car greets you with unfolding mirrors, glowing light signatures, and seat adjustments as you approach. It remembers. It adapts. It welcomes — with the spirit of omotenashi, Japanese hospitality.


Safety as Standard

The Mazda6e is engineered for Euro NCAP five-star protection with nine airbags, child detection systems, and a full suite of radar, lidar, and camera-based driver assistance. Everything works quietly in the background — ensuring peace of mind, without demanding your attention.

Final Word

The Mazda6e is not trying to redefine the electric car. It’s refining it — for people who still care about balance, tactility, and beauty with purpose. This isn’t a car designed to impress in a spec sheet. It’s a car designed to feel good. To own quietly. To drive thoughtfully. To last.
