UK pricing announced for Mazda CX-6e electric SUV

Mazda has revealed UK pricing and specifications for its new all-electric CX-6e SUV, with the sharp-looking new model set to arrive in Britain late 2026.

Priced from £42,990, the CX-6e will be available in two trim levels: the Takumi and flagship Takumi Plus, which starts from £45,350.

Except, it isn't much of a Mazda at all. The CX-6e is a product of the brand's joint venture with Changan, a popular Chinese car maker, which shares the platform, battery and drivetrains in order to expand Mazda's electric vehicle portfolio.

The Mazda CX-6e is effectively a re-worked Changan Deepal S07, assembled in China. That same platform is also the basis of the Mazda 6e saloon.

Both versions use a 78kWh Lithium Ion Phosphate (LFP) battery pack and a rear-mounted electric motor. The CX-6e kicks out a respectable 258hp and 290Nm of torque. This helps the 2.2-tonne electric SUV accelerate from 0-62mph in 7.9-seconds before stretching its legs to 115mph. 

Driving range is a claimed 300-miles (WLTP) and, when hooked up to a 200kW charger, it can charge from 10-80% in just 24-minutes.

Inside, the CX-6e is very tech-heavy but it embraces a modern, minimalist design. Standard equipment includes a huge 26.45-inch touchscreen with dual-screen option. Other features include a heads-up display, gesture control, voice recognition, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Furthermore, the dedicated Mazda app also provides remote functions including charge management and Bluetooth key sharing.

Safety technology includes nine airbags, Smart Brake Support, Lane Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Monitoring, supported by cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors.

Step up to the Takumi Plus, the CX-6e adds 21-inch wheels, digital rear-view and side cameras, ambient lighting, heated and ventilated rear-seats and even additional rear touchscreen controls. 

As for practicality, the CX-6e falls slightly behind other electric SUVs in its segment, offering 468-litres of boot space (1,434 with seats down). That's a bit less than the Audi Q4 E-Tron (515-litres with seats up) and a whole lot less than the Tesla Model Y (854-litres with seats up).

For fleets, the CX-6e represents Mazda's expanding electrification strategy that, without Changan, it wasn't able to implement on a competitive scale. It's a well-equipped electric family SUV that falls below the UK's Expensive Car Supplement (ECS), which will be appealing to many fleet and private buyers looking to save where they can.
