Mazda6e gains new battery for UK, prices from £38,995

The Mazda6e will arrive in the UK this summer with a new 78kWh single battery specification, priced at £38,995 for Takumi spec and £39,995 for Takumi Plus spec.

Launched in Europe with two powertrain options, a 68.8kWh LFP or 80kWh NCM battery, the UK specification Mazda6e simplifies the offering with a single 78kWh LFP battery that combines the best of both in terms of range, performance and charging times.

The new 78kWh battery delivers a combined WLTP range of 348 miles, while 10 to 80 per cent charging on a 195kW DC charger takes just 24 minutes. With 290Nm of torque and a 258PS power output, the rear-wheel drive Mazda6e accelerates from 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds.

The cockpit features a 14.6-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch instrument display as well as an augmented reality head-up display. The hatchback body features a 336-litre boot and 72-litres of storage under the bonnet.

The Mazda6e will arrive in UK dealers this summer, followed by the all-new Mazda CX-6e SUV later in the year.
