Overview
- Mazda has opened UK sales for the all‑new Mazda6e with two trims, Takumi and Takumi Plus, priced from £38,995 and carrying a full equipment list at both levels.
- The company states the 6e uses a 78kWh lithium iron phosphate battery with a WLTP combined range claim of up to 348 miles and a 10–80% charging time of about 24 minutes on a 200kW DC charger.
- Mazda quotes rear‑wheel drive output of 258ps, 290Nm of torque and a 0–62mph time of 7.3 seconds, figures the brand says support a composed, responsive driving character.
- Early UK media drives reported a smooth, refined ride with well‑weighted steering and predictable brakes after suspension, steering and braking were calibrated by Mazda Research Europe for local roads.
- The 6e was co‑developed with Changan and slots into Mazda’s multi‑solution electrification plan as a competitively priced option aimed at private buyers and company car fleets, which could broaden EV uptake while dealers adapt to changing UK policy.
