Japanese car maker Mazda has released the key specs and pricing of the CX-6e SUV, its third EV in the Australian market.
Prices for the CX-6e will start at $53,990 before on-road costs for the entry GT variants, and the top-spec Azami variant comes in at $56,990 before on-roads.
As part of the launch, the first 1,000 customers who ordered the GT variant will automatically be upgraded to the Azami variant, valued at $3,000.
Managing Director of Mazda Australia, Vinesh Bhindi, said the new pre-order campaign follows the popularity of its similar Mazda 6e offer, which saw all 300 units sell out within only two weeks.
CX-6e features a rear-mounted 190 kW motor, powered by a 78 kWh Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) battery pack. According to the preliminary specifications, this pack can deliver up to 484 km of WLTP range on a single charge and charging it from 30-80% will take around 15 minutes.
Inside, there is a large centre screen, surrounded by 256-colour ambient lighting, that floats above the dashboard.
Last month, The Driven saw an early left-hand-drive version of the car in person at a preview in Melbourne, and one of the standout features was this screen that extends towards the passenger seat, along with the high-quality materials used throughout.
In the spec sheet, Mazda states that the CX-6e includes multiple safety features, including:
- Smart Brake Support for turning across traffic with pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Emergency Brake Assist
- Lane-Keep Assist
- Driver Monitoring System
Colour-wise, there is a nightfall violet mica as well as metallic paints including Red, Crystal, Machine Grey, Grey, Blue, White, Pearl and Black.
The latest model made its global debut at the Brussels Motor Show this year and, according to the brand, adopts Mazda’s “Future + Soul + Modern” Kodo design concept.
The Mazda CX-6e is manufactured in collaboration with Chongqing Changan Automobile Company, which has multiple brands in China, including the locally available Deepal brand, which is distributed through Inchcape in Australia.
The first Mazda CX-6e deliveries in Australia are expected to start from September.
