Mazda says new Mazda6e is ‘the car dealers wanted’
Mazda has launched the Mazda6e, an all-electric saloon priced from £38,995 in the UK, targeting dealers and fleet operators with features like a 348-mile range and rapid charging. The model replaces the traditional Mazda6 and aligns with Mazda’s expansion into the UK’s D-segment electric vehicle market, offering incentives like a £499 home charger package and £500 public charging credit.
Mazda has officially revealed UK pricing and specifications for the all-new Mazda6e, an electric saloon set to debut in showrooms this summer. Priced starting at £38,995 across Takumi and Takumi Plus trims, the vehicle is positioned as a key model for dealers and fleet growth, with both versions staying under the £40,000 Expensive Car Supplement threshold. The Mazda6e includes retailer support to encourage EV adoption, such as a £499 home charger package and a £500 public charging credit via the Mazda Public Charging App for orders placed before June 30. Jeremy Thomson, managing director of Mazda Motors UK, called the Mazda6e ‘the car our dealers have been waiting for,’ emphasizing its alignment with UK consumer demand and premium design. The vehicle features a 78kWh LFP battery with a WLTP range of 348 miles and rapid charging capability, reaching 10-80% charge in 24 minutes using a 195kW DC charger. Rear-wheel drive delivers 258PS and a 0-62mph acceleration time of 7.9 seconds. Thomson highlighted its appeal for fleet operators, combining style, practicality, and technology at a competitive price. The Mazda6e replaces the long-running Mazda6 saloon and estate, which was sold in the UK from 2002 to 2023. It merges premium saloon proportions with hatchback practicality, featuring a redesigned digital cabin with a 14.6-inch touchscreen, augmented reality head-up display, and panoramic roof. The launch also marks Mazda’s expansion into the UK’s D-segment EV market, with the CX-6e SUV arriving later this year.
