Mazda introduces the all-new Mazda6e, a sleek five-door hatchback that brings the brand’s iconic Jinba Ittai philosophy—emphasizing unity between car and driver—into the electric era. Designed for European drivers, this battery electric vehicle (BEV) combines dynamic performance, refined craftsmanship, and advanced technology. Set to arrive in UK showrooms in early 2026, the Mazda6e promises an engaging driving experience with its rear-wheel drive and tailored powertrain options.
Key Highlights
- Electric Powertrains: Choose between 68.8kWh or 80kWh battery options, delivering 258PS or 245PS with 320Nm of torque.
- Jinba Ittai Philosophy: Precise handling, intuitive response, and a driver-focused cockpit ensure a seamless connection.
- Drive Modes: Normal, Sport, and Individual modes allow customization of acceleration, braking, and steering.
- European Refinement: Engineered in Hiroshima, Japan, and Oberursel, Germany, for European driving expectations.
- UK Availability: Arrives in the UK in first half of 2026, with pricing and specs to be announced.
The Mazda6e’s driving dynamics are crafted to inspire confidence. Its rear-wheel drive, 50:50 weight distribution, and multi-link rear suspension deliver agile handling and direct feedback. A rear spoiler activates at 60mph to enhance high-speed stability, while an integrated brake system ensures smooth transitions during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The yaw rate aligns with human perception, and finely tuned steering and dampers elevate precision.
Drivers can select from three distinct modes. Normal mode balances range and performance for daily commutes, with smooth acceleration and standard regenerative braking. Sport mode heightens responsiveness with stronger acceleration and increased steering resistance. Individual mode offers personalized settings, including four levels of regenerative braking and adjustable steering.
Crafted with Mazda’s signature attention to detail, the Mazda6e features an ergonomic cockpit and comfortable seats for long journeys. Blending style, technology, and performance, it redefines electric mobility while staying true to Mazda’s heritage. Full UK details will be revealed closer to its 2026 launch.
