Video Summary
The Mazda 6e demonstrates Mazda's commitment to electric vehicles, challenging the perception of them as an anti-electric brand.It is a full-fledged sedan, a departure from the current SUV trend.
With its unique design, it has an exceptional interior, and costs as much as a Tesla Model 3. It could be the first car to challenge the Model 3 in Europe.
The 6e aims to create an electric vehicle that doesn't compromise quality and design due to being electric.
The exterior design achieves this, with a design that feels distinctly Mazda and very good looking, especially in red or copper. The car is 5 meters long, 1.9 meters wide, and 1.49 meters tall with 19 inch wheels.
The front is a technological grille that lights up while charging at night.
The car has a wheel base of 2.9 meters for a roomy interior.
The interior has class, is minimalist, uses quality materials, a two level console, a wireless charging pad, two cup spaces, a 15.6 inch touch screen, and digital instrumentation.
The Mazda's operating system is improvable, but can be updated.
With such a long wheel base, there is generous leg space in the 2nd row.
There are also 337 liters of storage in the back and 74 liters in the front.
Driving the car is comfortable, premium, and the propulsion is a rear wheel drive.
One version of the car has a 68 kWH LFP battery with a charge rate of 165 kw.
There is another version with an 80 kWH battery and only 90 kw of charging.
This electric Mazda sedan is $39,000, around the price of a base Tesla Model 3, and is a great electric car.
It comes with a unique suspension that is well-tuned and gives the car almost 50/50 weight distribution between the front and rear wheels.
There are three driving modes: normal, sport, and individual, which can be configured to create better overall performance. At higher speeds, the car automatically raises the rear spoiler.
Although it has a high-performing, high-speed electric engine, Mazda has made a curious decision to have a more gradual acceleration curve. This is to try to more emulate the experience of driving a fuel-based vehicle.
