Mazda has announced that it has begun sending the first units of the new 6e to Europe, where they are expected to arrive at the end of May, becoming available at the brand’s dealerships in the European market at the beginning of summer.
The new Mazda 6e is a 100% electric sedan that aims to compete directly with the Tesla Model 3. Additionally, the new model from the Japanese manufacturer is based on the Mazda EZ-6, which the Japanese brand sells in China, and was developed by Mazda’s joint venture with Changan, having been specially tuned to meet the demands of European customers while maintaining the typical driving signature of Hiroshima’s models.
The new Mazda 6e is available for order in the national market with two 100% electric mechanical configurations: Standard, featuring a 258 hp electric motor with 320 Nm of torque. The electric motor is powered by a 68.8 kWh LFP battery, which claims a total range of up to 479 km (combined WLTP) and up to 605 km in urban environments (combined City WLTP).
The Long Range variant, on the other hand, is equipped with a 245 hp electric motor with a maximum torque of 320 Nm, paired with an 80 kWh LFP battery, promising a total range of up to 552 km (combined WLTP) and up to 692 km in urban environments (combined City WLTP).
Inside, the highlight is the intelligent cockpit focused on the driver, which features a customizable 14.6’’ touchscreen, a 10.2’’ digital display, and a 50’’ Augmented Reality Head-Up Display that projects important information, such as navigation and speed, directly in the driver’s line of sight.
Additionally, advanced voice and gesture controls simplify interactions with features such as climate control, navigation, and multimedia systems. Also noteworthy is the SonyPRO audio system, equipped with 14 speakers.
The Mazda 6e is equipped with an extensive list of driving assistance and safety systems, highlighted by nine airbags and Mazda’s Advanced Driving Assistance System, which includes Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, traffic sign recognition, and many other functions that help drivers avoid potential hazards.
