Mazda 6e has just been priced in Australia and will start from AUD 49,990 (US$ 35,430) before on-road costs.

The all-electric sedan is due to hit Aussie roads in July of this year, as an important model for Mazda in Australia.

It is priced in close proximity to some of its key rivals, such as the BYD Seal and the recently launched Kia EV4. Both those cars have significantly more expensive high-spec models, with Mazda's top-spec Atenza grade starting from AUD 52,990.

Mazda is offering a free upgrade to the Atenza grade for the first 300 customers to pre-order the GT variant.

Both variants are powered by a single rear-mounted electric motor, which produces 190kW and 290Nm. Unlike some rivals, there is currently no all-wheel-drive version of the 6e.

The sedan has a 78kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery, offering a driving range of 560km according to the WLTP testing cycle. This means it has roughly 100km more WLTP range than the Kia EV4 and the BYD Seal.

DC charging from 30 to 80 per cent takes 15 minutes for the 6e.

The 6e is based on the Deepal L07 from Mazda's joint venture partner, which is a Chinese-built model not on sale in Australia.

On the inside, the 6e has a 10.2-inch digital driver display and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen, with heated and ventilated front seats as standard. The GT variant can be optioned with a beige interior trim for an extra AUD 1,000.

The 6e will be followed by the CX-6e SUV coming to Australia later in the year as an electric SUV.

The CX-6e and the 6e will be Mazda's first electric models since the discontinued MX-30 in 2024, and the first Chinese-built Mazdas sold in Australia.
