The Mazda 6 is back! Yep, the smartly styled saloon has returned from the dead, and it\u2019s technically now a hatchback. It\u2019s also fully electric and henceforth will be known as the Mazda 6e. Oh, and it\u2019s not really a Mazda at all, because it\u2019s actually just a rebodied Changan Deepal SL03 with some steering and suspension tweaks for European roads.<\/p>\n

Keenly priced, though. In Europe there are two battery options \u2013 a 68.8kWh LFP unit and a longer range 80kWh with NCM chemistry. Strangely in the UK we\u2019ll get neither of those. Instead, our only option is a 78kWh LFP battery which allows for a claimed range of 348 miles. Prices start at \u00a338,995.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That means it\u2019s around \u00a31k more than the new entry-level Model 3 Standard<\/a> on our shores, but it\u2019s also a good chunk cheaper than rivals like the BYD Seal<\/a> (from \u00a345,730), the electric version of the new Mercedes CLA<\/a> (from \u00a345,615) and the Kia EV4 Fastback<\/a> (from \u00a340,945).<\/p>\n

A single motor powers the rear wheels on the 6e with 254bhp, meaning 0-62mph takes 7.9 seconds. The new battery will also take on charge at 195kW, so a 10 to 80 per cent jump should take 24 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Just two trim levels will be available, with the entry Takumi models getting black or stone fake leather trim. The upgrade to Takumi Plus costs an extra \u00a31k but adds fancy tan Nappa leather and artificial suede inside.<\/p>\n

Apparently the first 6es should start arriving at UK dealers this summer. Want to know what we thought of the Euro-spec version? Click these here words.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
