Mazda's Next-Generation Electric Car Is Coming in 2026: Meet the 6e

Power and Range That Make Sense

Under the bonnet (well, technically, under the floor), the 6e runs a 190 kW rear-wheel-drive system paired with a 78 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery.

In plain terms: it's quick, quiet, and capable - with over 500 km of driving range on a single charge.

That's enough to handle a full week of Brisbane commuting or a trip up to Noosa without worrying about where the next charger is.

And when you do need to top up, fast-charging can get you from 30 to 80 percent in as little as 15 minutes, which is perfect for a coffee stop on your weekend errands or a highway rest break.

Designed to Turn Heads (and Corners)

The 6e takes Mazda's Kodo: Soul of Motion design and gives it a fresh, athletic edge.

Its coupe-style roofline and low stance make it stand out, while the five-door hatchback layout keeps it practical for real life - whether that's school runs, groceries, or a quick surf trip down the Gold Coast.

It's the kind of car that'll look right at home parked along Oxford Street in Bulimba or heading out through Tamborine Mountain's twisty backroads.

Still Feels Like a Mazda

Inside, the 6e keeps Mazda's focus on the driver.

The cabin is quiet, minimalist, and purpose-built. Everything is where you expect it, and nothing feels over-complicated.

It's all about the connection between you and the car - that Jinba Ittai feeling that Mazda has built its name on.

Why It's a Big Deal for Brisbane Drivers

While the MX-30 represented Mazda's first electric move, it was aimed at more niche, urban use.

The new 6e is the real step up, offering long-distance range and performance that make it a practical EV choice for Australian drivers.

For locals, that means an electric car that's ready for more than short city hops.

From daily commutes on the Logan Motorway to family weekends in the Scenic Rim, the 6e is built to make electric driving practical, exciting, and easy to live with.
