In China, the EZ-6 is available in EV and extended-range configurations. The all-electric model gets up to 372 miles (600 km) CLTC range.
Mazda will offer two battery options in Europe, 80 kWh and 68.8 kWh. The larger (80 kWh) battery pack provides up to 343 miles (552 km) WLTP range, while the smaller option can get up to around 300 miles (479 km) range.
At 4,921 mm long, 1,890 mm wide, and 1,491 mm tall, the new Mazda 6e is about the size of a Tesla Model 3 (4,720 mm long, 1,922 mm wide, and 1,441 mm tall with a 2,875 mm wheelbase).
Like in China, the European-made EV includes a clean interior with a 14.6″ infotainment and 10.1″ driver display screens. The “smart cabin” also features a 50″ virtual head-up display and other premium features like zero-gravity reclining seats.
The Mazda 6e will go on sale in Europe this summer as the Japanese automaker looks to meet the EU’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandates.
Since it will be exported from China, Mazda will still pay for it after the EU raised tariffs on Chinese EV imports by up to 45.3%. Mazda will reveal prices closer to launch, but they are expected to start much higher than the $20,000 price tag in China.
Earlier this week, we also learned Mazda will build its first dedicated EV on a new platform in Japan. The company is building a new module pack plant to supply battery cells for the upcoming electric car.
What do you think of the electric Mazda 6 successor? Would you buy one in the US or Europe? Let us know in the comments.
