Mazda 6e Review: Design-savvy sedan that might not be for traditional Mazda fans

Mazda 6e is Mazda's first all-electric sedan, and it's stylish. Elbilsmagasinet has reviewed the new 6e and found a car that feels distinctly Mazda — but might surprise some traditional Mazda enthusiasts.

Mazda 6e — specifications

The new Mazda 6e comes with impressive specs:

Battery: 68.8 kWh LFP, 400V architecture

Range: 479 km WLTP

Power: 190 kW (258 hp), rear-wheel drive

Charging: Up to 165 kW DC charging

Design: Premium styling with sweeping lines and elegant proportions

Private leasing: From SEK 4,495/month

The Mazda philosophy meets electric power

Mazda has always prioritized driving pleasure and design over pure specifications. The 6e continues this tradition with a rear-wheel drive layout that gives it sportier handling than many competitors.

What sets it apart?

The LFP battery chemistry (Lithium Iron Phosphate) offers excellent durability and fast charging speeds — ironically faster than some NMC battery competitors. The design language is mature and understated, appealing to those who prefer elegance over aggression.

Is it for you?

The Mazda 6e works well if you:

Value design and driving feel over specifications

Appreciate Mazda's premium interior quality

Want a rear-wheel drive sedan with sporting character

Appreciate understated elegance
