This is what Stephen Ottley liked most about this particular version of the Mazda 6E: Looks like a Mazda, Enjoyable to drive, Sharp price and well-equipped
The Mazda 6e comes in seven colours including Jet Black, Aero Grey, Polymetal Grey, Machine Grey, Crystal Pearl White, Soul Red Crystal and Deep Crystal Blue.
The Mazda 6e comes standard with 19-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, tri-zone climate control, ambient lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, a 14.6-inch central touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital driver display plus a 14-speaker Sony audio system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Mazda6e shares its underpinnings and a lot of its interior design with the Deepal L07, however, the Japanese brand has tried to ensure it looks and feels like a Mazda has much as possible.
There are hints to its Chinese origins, such as the ‘multi-purpose’ buttons on the steering wheel, which are a popular option on Chinese vehicles, but overall it does feel like a Mazda and there is a prominent Mazda logo on the steering wheel.
Both Mazda 6e model grades use the same Changan-developed electric powertrain - a single, rear-mounted motor which produces 190kW of power and 290Nm of torque.
The Mazda 6e is a five-seat sedan. Space inside, particuarly the back seats, is compromised for taller occupants by the combination of a high floor (with the batteries underneath) and a swoopy, coupe-inspired roofline.
The Mazda 6e boot measures 337 litres with all seats in use, but can expand to 1074L if you lower the rear seats. As a handy bonus, there is a Mazda first ‘frunk’ (aka, under-bonnet storage) that adds 72L and is an ideal spot to store your charging cable.
Mazda Australia has not confirmed specific acceleration and top speed figures, but overseas reports indicate a 0-100km/h time of approximately 7.6 seconds and a top speed of 175km/h.
The Mazda 6e is powered by a 78kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery, which Mazda claims is good for an impressive 560km of range.
