The Return of a Legend — The new Mazda6e
Mazda has brought back one of it’s most beloved models. Although not as a conventional petrol or hybrid, but as a fully electric car with an impressive range. The Mazda 6e marks the next chapter in Mazda’s electrification journey.
A Brief Look Back: Why the Mazda6 Was So Popular
For years, the Mazda 6 held a special place in the hearts of drivers across Europe and the UK. Known for its elegant yet sporty design, the Mazda6 combined driving engagement with practicality: a spacious cabin, smooth handling, and efficient yet punchy engines. Whether in its saloon or estate form, it struck a balance between performance and everyday usability, contributing to it’s reputation as a driver’s car that didn’t compromise on comfort or style.
Although Mazda eventually discontinued the ICE Mazda6, the model remained a fan favourite. Praised for reliability, refinement, and Mazda’s trademark “Jinba Ittai” driving feel. Now, Mazda is bringing the nameplate back in an exciting new form.
What Is the Mazda 6e?
The Mazda 6e is Mazda’s all-new battery-electric vehicle (BEV), set to arrive in the UK in 2026. It blends next-generation EV engineering with Mazda’s signature craftsmanship, if you are thinking of going electric, now is the time.
Key Features
- Striking new design: A premium fastback silhouette inspired by Mazda’s “Kodo – Soul of Motion” philosophy.
- Choice of battery sizes:
- 68.8 kWh with up to ~300 miles of range.
- 80 kWh with up to ~345 miles of range.
- Rear-wheel-drive performance: Smooth, responsive acceleration with up to 258 PS depending on battery size.
- Rapid charging: DC fast charging from 10–80% in 22–45 minutes.
- Premium interior: 14.6″ touchscreen, digital cockpit, and beautifully crafted materials.
- Modern practicality: 330-litre boot plus a 70-litre front trunk.
The 6e is designed to compete directly with premium electric saloons like the Tesla Model 3 — but with Mazda’s emotional driving edge.
Why the Mazda 6e Matters
The Mazda 6e represents a significant moment for the brand. More than a new EV, it’s the spiritual revival of a model beloved by Mazda owners across the UK. It combines heritage with innovation: elegant styling, a driver-first experience, sustainable engineering, and technology that feels genuinely premium.
Mazda continues to push forward with its multi-solution approach to electrification — and the 6e is set to be a standout in that journey.
