Mazda’s all‑electric CX‑6e crossover makes its European debut at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show, offering 483 km range and cutting‑edge tech. Discover the specs now!
At the Brussels Motor Show 2026, Mazda rolled out the brand‑new CX‑6e – an all‑electric, compact crossover built on the Deepal S07 platform in partnership with China’s Changan. The model joins Mazda’s growing EV line‑up and targets European buyers looking for style, range, and tech without the premium price tag of rivals.
Design that Marries Elegance with Aerodynamics
The CX‑6e mirrors the sleek silhouette of its internal‑market sibling, the EZ‑60, but with details tailored for European tastes. A distinctive split‑type front lamp unit embraces the signature Mazda grille while a flowing LED daytime‑running light strip adds a futuristic edge. Buyers can choose from seven paint finishes, including the eye‑catching Nightfall Violet that shifts hue with the viewing angle.
Every exterior element has been refined for airflow: a sculpted hood, specially contoured D‑pillar, low‑drag side mirrors, and a rear spoiler all work together to maximise the vehicle’s range on a single charge. The 21‑inch aerodynamic wheels echo the design language of the EZ‑60 and underscore the CX‑6e’s sporty intent.
Spacious, High‑Tech Cabin
Inside, Mazda departs from the conventional analogue dashboard for a clean digital experience. The driver’s view is dominated by a heads‑up display (HUD) that projects navigation and key vehicle data onto the windshield, eliminating the need for a traditional instrument cluster.
At the heart of the interior sits a 26.45‑inch glass‑covered touchscreen that spans the width of the dashboard. Unlike fragmented infotainment layouts, this single pane offers a dual‑split function and even supports gesture control for volume, climate, and media adjustments.
Premium trims further elevate comfort. The Takumi version pairs a warm beige upholstery with black Maztex accents, while the Takumi Plus adds a luxurious Amethyst‑purple or crisp White Maztex option. A digital rear‑view mirror, complete with blind‑spot alerts, replaces the conventional glass panel, enhancing both safety and aerodynamic efficiency.
Roomy Rear and Versatile Cargo Space
Built on a 2,902‑mm wheelbase, the CX‑6e provides a generous rear cabin with three individual seats, each equipped with electric‑adjustable, ventilated, and heated functions. The rear floor hosts a slim control screen that lets passengers manage lighting, climate, and media independently.
Trunk capacity starts at 468 L and expands to a remarkable 1,434 L when the rear seats are folded flat. An additional 80‑L storage compartment under the front hood adds a handy spot for smaller items.
Powertrain and Performance
Power comes from a rear‑mounted electric motor delivering 258 hp and 290 Nm of torque, paired with a 78 kWh lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) battery pack. The single‑speed transmission propels the CX‑6e from 0‑100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, while a top speed of 185 km/h satisfies most highway scenarios.
On a full charge, Mazda claims an official WLTP range of up to 483 km. Fast‑charging capability is strong: a 195 kW DC charger can top the pack from 10 % to 80 % in just 24 minutes, making long‑distance trips practical for daily commuters.
How It Stacks Up Against the Competition
The CX‑6e positions itself directly against popular premium EV crossovers such as the Tesla Model Y, Mercedes‑Benz GLC EQ, and BMW iX3. While those rivals command higher price points, Mazda aims to win over buyers with a blend of distinctive design, a user‑friendly tech suite, and a competitive range.
Availability and Pricing
Mazda plans to begin European deliveries in mid‑2026. Exact pricing has not been disclosed yet, but industry insiders expect the CX‑6e to sit comfortably below the entry‑level Model Y, appealing to cost‑conscious shoppers who still desire a premium feel.
