Overview
Behold the all-new, rather striking Mazda CX-6e: the latest challenger to the smash-hit Tesla Model Y, Skoda Enyaq and Smart #5, and in effect the zero-emissions alternative to Mazda’s biggest seller, the CX-5. It’s due to arrive here towards the end of the year.
This sleek mid-size electric SUV may look familiar to some readers because it was unveiled in China last spring, where it’s badged as the EZ-60. It’s also available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain offering a combined range of more than 600 miles over there, but only the EV version is coming to the UK and Europe.
Every CX-6e will feature a 78kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that Mazda says will offer up to 300 miles of range, which is a long way off some key rivals. For instance, the entry-level Model Y has a 314-mile range, and if you pick the right version, it’ll be good for close to 390 miles on a single charge.
The more value-focused MGS6 EV and Kia EV5 both offer a 329-mile range, while mid-range versions of the Skoda Enyaq and Smart #5 deliver up to 360 miles and 387 miles, respectively. If that’s not enough for you, the new Citroen e-C5 Aircross boasts a massive 421-mile range, and you currently can save more than £6,000 on a brand-new model with our Buy A Car service.
At least with a maximum charging speed of 165kW, a 10 to 80 per cent top-up from most DC rapid chargers should take just 24 minutes. Plus, the CX-6e is rear-wheel drive with 255bhp on tap allowing it to hit 62mph from rest in 7.9 seconds.
While the CX-6e might not have the edge over its competition on paper, Mazda says the car will deliver the type of dynamic driving experience customers expect from the company’s products. The brand calls this ‘Jinba Ittai’ – the philosophy about the sense of horse and rider as one.
Three drive modes will be available: Normal, Sport and Individual. Up front is MacPherson strut suspension while the rear uses a multi-link set-up, and the chassis was tuned by Mazda’s R&D team in Germany, to ensure the CX-6e will perform well on any European road.
