Mazda Australia has confirmed pricing and preliminary specifications for the all-new CX-6e mid-size electric SUV, which will start from $53,990 plus on-road costs when it lands in September.
Available to pre-order now, the 2026 Mazda CX-6e will be offered in two grades like the related 6e EV sedan: the GT and top-spec Azami.
Both grades will be powered by a 190kW/290Nm rear electric motor fed by a 78kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, with claimed driving range pegged at up to 484km on the WLTP test cycle.
Mazda claims the CX-6e can be DC fast-charged from 30 to 80 per cent “in as little as 15 minutes”, though hasn’t confirmed the actual charging capacity.
Also like the Mazda 6e, the Japanese brand is opening orders with a launch offer – the first 1000 customers to pre-order a CX-6e GT will receive a complimentary upgrade to the Azami flagship, representing a saving of $3000.

While classified as ‘mid-sized’, the CX-6e measures 4850mm long and 1935mm wide, on a lengthy 2902mm wheelbase – which is bordering on large SUV territory.
There’s 468L of quoted capacity in the CX-6e’s boot according to global specifications, expanding to 1434L with the second row of seats folded flat.
Previewed by the 2024 Mazda Arata Concept shown at the Beijing motor show of that year, the Mazda CX-6e is the international export version of the EZ-60 that’s already on sale in China.
The CX-6e/EZ-60 was developed by the Changan Mazda joint venture in China, and is based on the same platform and running gear as the Deepal S07 which is also on sale in Australia.
