Video Summary
The new Mazda 6e features a closed front grille. The front lights are slim. It has an "arrow gray" color and also melting copper paint available. It measures 4.92 meters or 194 inches in length, which is longer than a Model 3. The interior is trimmed in brown.The rear wing can retract and extract, but Mazda claims it does not significantly affect aerodynamics. The top speed is 175 km/h or 110 mph. The turning indicators are round and interesting.
The small battery charges in 24 minutes from 10% to 80% state of charge. The larger battery charges in 47 minutes. Smaller 69 kWh LFP battery is quicker to charge, while the bigger 80 kWh battery uses NMC chemistry. The charging port is on the opposite side.
The price per performance is notable, and it has attractive exterior design, the design is nice. The Mazda 6e's low entry price is a positive point.
However, the rear-wheel drive and suspension are not driver-focused. Overall, although the look and price are attractive, its driving doesn't feel like a true Mazda. The drive lacks connection and road feel. The small rear-wheel drive also is not for big people. This vehicle is designed more for the Chinese market traffic conditions, not the German Autobahn. There isn't much extra price on the big battery. Also, the larger battery has a much slower charging time. The overall build quality is nice, but there are some shortcomings like that the "squaking" in it, the steering and that there is little to no space underneath it. 19-inch wheels are standard. Top end models do not have good integration with new technology. You need to check up the side mirrors.
To conclude: From the outside, it looks stunning, but the performance is not there. The main menu is 'Tesla' aligned. There is a high degree of emphasis on the exterior design to attract consumers, but the driveability itself is not comparable.
