1. Body Style and Size

The CX-6e is a mid-size SUV (D-segment) featuring Mazda’s “Kodo” design language with a “Soulful Futuristic Modern” theme. It measures 4,850 mm in length, 1,935 mm in width, and 1,620 mm in height, with an expansive 2,902 mm wheelbase that optimizes interior room.

2. Platform, Range, and Efficiency

Built on the Changan EPA1 platform (364V architecture), it utilizes a 78 kWh LFP battery. The rear-mounted motor produces 190 kW (258 PS), enabling a 0-100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds. It delivers a WLTP range of up to 484 km (300 miles), with an efficiency of approximately 18.9–19.4 kWh/100 km.

3. Technical Capabilities

The CX-6e is packed with safety tech, including nine airbags and “Smart Brake Support.” It features a 360° View Monitor with “See-Through View,” Lane Keeping Assist, and gesture/voice control (9 languages) to manage the massive 26-inch 5K touchscreen.

4. Interior and Storage

The cabin follows the Japanese concept of Ma (space), using premium Maztex synthetic leather. It offers 468 litres of rear storage, expanding to 1,434 litres with seats folded, plus a handy 80-litre front trunk (frunk).

5. App Functionality

The dedicated Mazda CX-6e App supports remote climate pre-conditioning, battery charge management, and Bluetooth digital key sharing for up to three additional users.

6. Pros and Cons

Pros: * Striking, premium exterior and interior design.

• Rapid DC charging (10-80% in 24 mins).

   

• Exceptional rear legroom and flat floor.

Cons: * Almost no physical buttons (mostly screen-based).

• Rear visibility is limited by the sleek fastback roof.

• Charging speeds are lower on non-LFP battery variants (market dependent).

7. Overall Summary

The 2026 Mazda CX-6e is a sophisticated alternative to the Tesla Model Y and Audi Q4 e-tron. While its hardware roots are shared with Chinese partner Changan, Mazda has infused it with “Jinba Ittai” driving dynamics and superior material quality, making it a strong contender for those who find Tesla’s minimalism too stark.
