Mazda Unveils All-New Mazda6e at Brussels Motor Show

Mazda has debuted its latest BEV, the Mazda6e, at the Brussels Motor Show, marking a significant step in its European EV lineup.

Electrifying Design Crafted to Perfection

Under the theme “Electrifying Design Crafted to Perfection,” the Mazda6e introduces a refined evolution of Mazda’s Kodo - Soul of Motion design philosophy.

    • Inspired by the Japanese concept of “Ma” (the beauty of space), the interior features a floating center console and minimalist instrument panel.
    • Premium materials, including tan Nappa leather in Takumi Plus trims, elevate comfort and elegance.

Technology and Practicality

The Mazda6e boasts a cutting-edge 14.6-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and an augmented reality head-up display. Practicality is ensured with a 330-litre rear boot, a 70-litre front boot, and generous passenger space.

Driving Excellence for Europe

Mazda’s engineers in Frankfurt have meticulously calibrated the Mazda6e’s suspension, power steering, and braking to deliver the engaging driving dynamics that Mazda is known for, tailored to European and UK preferences.

A Vision for the Future

Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director of Mazda Motors UK, commented:
“The Mazda6e is the car our dealers have been waiting for. It’s a testament to Mazda’s ability to combine design, technology, and style in the EV space. With its exceptional driving experience, I’m confident the Mazda6e will become a favourite among electric vehicle enthusiasts.”

He added:
“In the UK, we face unique challenges balancing EV legislation and consumer demand. Mazda is committed to introducing new models at a pace that aligns with market needs, offering mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and BEV solutions. The Mazda6e, arriving in 2026, will be a pivotal addition to our lineup.”

The all-new Mazda6e signifies the next chapter in Mazda’s EV journey in Europe, blending design, innovation, and performance to meet the demands of the electrification era.
