The Mazda 6e, the Japanese trump card with an electric heart and sedan elegance, finally reveals its European prices – and honestly, if you were expecting another overpriced electric attempt, you're in for a pleasant surprise this time. Mazda may not be the first name that comes to mind when it comes to electrics (thanks, MX-30), but with the 6e it proves that it can play in the big leagues – and quite confidently.
A new one Mazda 6e is what you could call the Japanese answer to German electric seriousness, only with a little more style, softness and that quiet “everything will be fine” feeling that Asians are so good at. There are two battery versions available: 69 kWh (LFP) and 80 kWh (NMC)Both have rear-wheel drive and decent 253 horsepowerThe difference? Significant – especially in charging, price and efficiency.
Prices that don't bite
For the basic version Takumi with a smaller battery you will subtract approx 44.500 €, for Takumi Plus well 46.500 €If you take a larger battery, the base starts at 46.900 €, and the richest version is at 48.900 €In all cases, we stay below the psychological threshold of 50 thousand - which is almost romantic these days.
And since we all talk about charging stations almost as often as we talk about the weather these days: a smaller battery only needs 24 minutes for 10–80 % (which is almost an espresso stop), while the larger one needs 47 minutes – which is almost a Netflix episode.
Less = more?
Paradoxically, yes. A smaller battery isn't just cheaper, but also more efficient and faster in acceleration (0–100 km/h in 7.6 s versus 7.8 s for the larger one). On the highway it consumes around 18 kWh/100 km, and in the city even only 11.8 kWh/100 km, which means a real reach to 600 km. It still sounds like science fiction, but this time with a real basis. Buy a smaller battery because it charges really fast – 200 kW DC, while this big one only charges 90 kW.
Spaciousness, comfort and... frunk?
Mazda 6e custom 4.92 m in length, 1.89 m wide (with mirrors 2.15 m) and 1.48 m in height – which means you can safely park it next to any German premium sedan. Rear trunk measures 466 liters, in front There's also an additional 72 liters of space (aka frunk). For a picnic, a gym bag, or that mysterious box you don't want to open.
The interior? A real little lounge on four wheels. Alcantara, Nappa leather, ventilated seats, panoramic roof, HUD, wireless charging with cooling and advanced infotainment system, which will also be able to speak Slovenian by the fall. The navigation already knows your favorite gas stations, which is more practical than most dating apps.
Driving experience: a sedan that can also be a quiet companion
The Mazda 6e drives elegantly, calmly and convincingly. The assistance systems (adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assistance, sign recognition) work reliably, and the camera, despite its somewhat average resolution, offers a 360-degree view. Towing capacity? Surprising 1.5 tons – enough for a weekend adventure with a small trailer.
Conclusion: An electric Mazda you won't want to miss
Mazda 6e is perhaps one of the biggest automotive plot twists of 2025. An electric coupe-style sedan, great equipment, realistic range and Japanese reliability (although it's assembled in China - but hey, it's still your iPhone). Recommendation? Choose a smaller battery and a richer equipment package Takumi Plus – here less is truly more.
In a market where everyone is competing to be the first to start, the Mazda 6e is that quiet marathon runner that reaches the finish line without excessive drama - but with a lot of elegance.
Arigato, Mazda.
