The Mazda CX-6e GT opens the following as standard:

• 19-inch alloys
• LED lighting
• Panoramic glass roof
• Black Maztech trim
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• A massive 26.45-inch multimedia screen
• Head-up display
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• 21-speaker stereo

Stepping up to the Azami only really gets you bigger 21-inch alloys and digital wing mirrors.

The Mazda treatment has occurred in the cabin of the CX-6e, and the touchpoints are suitably plush, though it is entirely lacking in tactile buttons or switches. Pride of place instead is the massive screen, which is a whopping 26.4 inches and stretches pretty much the width of the cabin.

There’s a single motor at the rear axle of the Mazda CX-6e, making 190kW and 290Nm.

The Mazda CX-6e is a five-seat electric SUV with a tonne of space for backseat riders. It is longer but lower than the Mazda CX-5, but that won't impact headroom for most backseat passengers.

Mazda doesn't quote an official zero to 100km/h time for the CX-6e, but we would estimate it at around eight seconds.

Delivering the range in the Mazda CX-6e is a 78kWh LFP battery, producing a WLTP driving range of up to 484kms. The DC charge rate is capped at 194kW, which should take you from 10-80 per cent charged in 24 mins. AC charging is up to 11kW, too.
