New Mazda 6e Costs Over Twice As Much In The UK Than In China
The Mazda6e will be available exclusively with a 78 kWh battery. Power is provided by a rear-mounted motor with 254 hp. It shares a platform with China’s Changan Deepal SL03 sedan. Mazda has taken its time getting into the EV game, aside from the underwhelming and slow-selling MX-30. But now, it finally has a compelling electric sedan in the lineup in the form of the new 6e , which has just landed in the UK. There’s a bit of sticker shock, though, especially when you compare it to pricing in China, where it’s built and sold as the EZ-6 alongside the EZ-60 SUV. A single electric powertrain setup will be offered for UK buyers, though shoppers can choose between two trim levels. The entry-level version, dubbed the Takumi, is priced at £38,995 (around $53,200 at today’s exchange rates), landing just shy of the €44,900 (US$53,400) starting price in Germany.
