Mazda Unveils CX-6e as Mainstream Electric SUV

Built in China with partner Changan, it pairs a 78 kWh battery with high-speed DC charging to give Mazda a commercially focused electric model.

Overview

  • Mazda will bring the CX-6e to dealers this autumn with a manufacturer-stated starting price of €49,990.
  • The car uses a single 78 kWh battery that Mazda says yields a 484 km standard range and feeds a 190 kW rear motor that makes 290 Nm and 0–100 km/h in 7.9 seconds.
  • Charging is limited to 11 kW on AC but supports up to 195 kW on DC fast chargers, and Mazda states a 10–80% charge can take about 24 minutes.
  • The interior is highly digital, featuring an almost 27-inch 5K central display, no classic instruments, a head-up display, and optional camera-based exterior mirrors.
  • The CX-6e marks a deliberate shift from Mazda’s earlier niche electric models toward mainstream competitiveness by using China development and production to cut costs and add battery and charging performance comparable with rivals such as the VW ID.4.
