Mazda CX-6e: Distinctive Design and Features, But With Some Shortcomings
The Mazda CX-6e is an electric SUV based on the Changan Deepal S07 platform, featuring a 78 kWh battery with a WLTP range of 468 kilometers and a single rear-wheel-drive motor producing 258 hp. Launched in spring 2024 as the successor to the criticized Mazda 6e, it offers improved ride quality and standard equipment like heated seats and a heat pump. While the exterior design includes optional digital mirrors and retains prototype elements from the Arata concept, the vehicle faces criticism for its limited powertrain options, lacking all-wheel drive or higher performance variants. Interior space is adequate for four or five passengers, though cargo capacity is reduced to 468 liters due to the sloping roofline, partially offset by an 80-liter front trunk. The infotainment system features a large, continuous screen that eliminates physical buttons, a change some may find excessive.
